| I havent been on this site lately so when i saw this forum i thought i should share. I have two bearded dragons named Snoopy and spyro. I went to the pet store like every weekend to get them a treat ( a few worms and to stock up on crickets) i gave them some fat horned worms and i noticed a few hours after snoopy was trying to poop. she didnt but instead a small sack came out of her bum. I new that i saw something like this in one of the reptile magazines i used to subscibe to and it said it was a prolapse. I folowed everything it said expept i didnt bring her to a vet. My Parents said it would be to much money. So after that i was in denial hopeing it wasnt a prolapse. well it got worse and the sack doubled its size. she was in so much pain that i couldnt leave her. I told my mom that i would rather have her put to rest then for her to suffer. We brought her in and when the vet looked at it he said she was egg bound and you could see some of the eggs in the sack. He said he could opperate but he said it was a 50/50 chance she'd survive. So i had her put down and i buried her next to draco. I am really glad I had the Reptiles mag. because it gave me all the info i needed.
