I would NOT use liquid bandaid stuff either. In my opinion it is not a good idea to close up a reptiles small wound. In doing so you are closing in any bacteria, debris, start of infection etc inside and not allowing it to escape their body. If your beardy gets a small cut you can use a betadine/sterile water solution, mix it till the betadine looks like tea. Soak the cut in this once a day or so and make sure he/she is on non printed white paper towels until healed. Clean the cage often in order to minimize the chance of infection. If the wound is more then a small cut I HIGHLY recommend a vet trip and he/she can make the decision of whether or not to close the wound after thoroughly flushing it. But I really wouldnt suggest super glue or liquid bandaid, thats just my opinion. LindsayMarie
