Possible beardie prolapse.
Hey guys when I woke up and checked out on the reptiles I noticed that our recently acquired bearded dragon looked to have a prolapse. A little back story on this beardie. We got her about a month ago from petco. Somebody had just dropped her off because they didn't have the time anymore. We were told it is a she and is 5 years old. Currently she is being housed in a 40 breeder her basking temps range from 100-110 F depending on the time of a day. Her cool side is at 85. She does have a UVB bulb and a basking bulb. The substrate is coco fiber. She eats crickets, dubia roaches and lots of greens.
When I first looked at her there was a big purple tinted thing hanging out of her cloaca. After I ran to get my camera it wasn't as bad but I still took these pics...
Her enclosure
The silver tape and bulge you see is BEHIND the enclosure on the wall. There was a big hole there so I covered it with what I had a while back.
Her basking bulb isn't on in the pics it was causing to much glare. I know her enclosure isn't ideal and we are working on finding a better one that has more room.
So my questions are. Is this a prolapse? Should I get her into the vet? What else can I do besides a vet until Monday since that is the earliest I will be able to get her in?
