Dragons are fierce and cool, so it’s no wonder they’re a popular choice for tattoos. But if you’re not ready to make that commitment, dragon nails are a great way to show off your love of the mythical creature. Here are some of our favorite ideas for nail art that will bring out your inner dragon.
Use shiny polish and glitter to create a look that resembles dragon scales. The textured effect is easy to do and the result looks really cool. This is a great idea for anyone who loves Game of Thrones or other fantasy movies and books.
The eyes of a beardie can tell you a lot about its health and mood. Closed eyes may be a sign of photo-kerato-conjunctivitis (also called star-gazing disease) or a viral infection known as atadenovirus. In both cases, it’s important to get your pet to a vet as soon as possible.
Bearded dragons can get respiratory infections if their environment is too cold, humid or poorly ventilated. These conditions can also be caused by stress, overcrowding or a poor diet. The signs of respiratory disease in beardie include a bluish tinge to the skin, difficulty breathing and a runny nose.
Hissing is an aggressive display that may be a reaction to being handled by a person who the reptile perceives as a threat. The hissing may progress to biting, which is dangerous for both the beardie and its owner. To prevent this from happening, it’s best to get your dragon used to being handled on a regular basis with short daily sessions and lots of treats like hand-feeding.
