    Husbandry and care is key for sure. My little one is massive now. 59cm nose to tale tip 558g. And is a leather back hypo het trans.

    Ty ty for the clear concise info! I was very confused about the virus in general bc I read that it was 100% fatal, yet beardies are carriers of it. I understand much better now

    This was very enlightening and informative. I actually have a Western Bearded Dragon (Pogona minor minor) and what Dr Jonathon Howard said about clinical signs and then being perfectly fine once husbandry was corrected was very true in Ted's case.
    Can I ask though, is there a difference between Centrals (Pogona vitticeps) with ADV and a Western (Pogona minor minor) with ADV). I've heard that due to their smaller size they are more susceptible to failure to thrive and illnesses as Centrals are considered "more stronger" than the Westerns. I wonder what your thoughts are on this?

      @@carmsxted from beardievet:
      The adenovirus that has been detected in Pogona minor is Helodermatid adenovirus 2 (Lizard atadenovirud A). This was detected in one of our vitticeps in our study. The more common Agamid adenovirus-1 was found in the other 8 positive animals. Both viral strains are closely related atadenoviruses.
      Both viruses cause ‘ill thrift’. I wouldn’t say that more susceptible. Their size could possibly play a role in that they would be more susceptible to stress due being a smaller and hence a more vulnerable prey item.

    Yes it’s so sad that people breed these weak genetics 😩 in ANY animal. So many animals have issues because of this. French bulldogs are a great example..I just saw a reptile place receive a double headed, silk back bearded dragon…one stomach, two heads…two brains that are hungry-but can’t tell that to the one stomach. It’s just so sad 😭 thank you for the information! I just got my first dragon and watching all these videos.

    My beardie was diagnosed with atadenovirus today , was recently fecal negative but has bad coccidia before. He is almost 2 years old I had him my whole life the only thing Is that he sometimes can be restless , poop undigested poop & he’s recently started being selective with his food .
