Why did my Bearded Dragon die?
My male bearded dragon died a few months ago but I never found out why and I feel really bad in case I did something wrong. I kept him in good condition, his tank was clean, he was fed crickets and other fruit that this lizard woman told me he could eat, his tank was heated and lit properly. He had this gunky eye and the vet cleaned it out and we had to give him eyedrops, but a few weeks later he just died. Did I do something wrong or was it something to do with his eye? He wasn’t that old.
check this care sheet out its pretty accurate

Edit wait to be honest i didnt read the whole question but i just realized that you said it had an eye problem. so i was wondering what kind of lighting were you using? some brands of florescent coil UVB 10.0 lights have been known to harm or even kill. heres the website that explains it all
