My bearded dragon fell and can't move his back legs. Will he live?

Question

Hello doctor, my 5 month old bearded dragon lizard just jumped off my table and broke his spine, the table is like 3ft tall and I know his spine broke because it stuck out and I pushed it in slowly and now his two legs in the back are not moving, he can only move his tail a bit and his front legs and head. I want to know if he would be able to survive in these conditions?

Haru needs to be examined by a veterinarian immediately. X-rays will likely be taken after a physical exam to diagnose any fractures or spinal injury. Soft tissue damage would have a better chance at recovery than a fractured spine. Only your vet can determine Haru's prognosis after an exam. Good luck.
