The Death of a Bearded Dragon

I had a pet bearded dragon for most of my life. I feel bad because the day I woke up and he had died, he had actually shit himself in in the process of dying. That's not uncommon. The thing is no one knows how to take care of reptiles. And so they don't usually last very long in captivity,. But my dude lasted like fucking well, let's think about it. Fourth grade to 12th. Say eight years.
