Jeritta's Fantastic 4

Not open for further replies.
Okay I have been meaning to do this for a while now. I have never sat down and made a thread for all our babies so here it goes. I think we are stopping at 4. We'll see :?

I'll start with the oldest Gobi. She is a cuddle bunny. She loves to cuddle and loves kisses. I know there are a couple of pix on here of her giving kisses. She loves to sit on her daddy's head. There is something about all that grey hair that she just loves. She gets up there and just snuggles down and goes to sleep. She also is the neighborhood watch dragon. She watches all the cars that come and go everyday. It is really funny if a car comes in that she doesn't know she will start glass dancing. It is like she is an alarm or something that there is a stranger in the neighborhood. She has done a lot of glass dancing during Christmas. lol.
We think Gobi is gonna be a big girl when she finishes growing. We weighed and measured her yesterday. She is 8 months old now and She is 16 1/8" but she weighs 382 grams.

Next we have Amigo. He is our adventurer. When he was just 3 months old he got loose outside. We looked and looked but couldn't find him. We thought for sure we would never see him again since the weather started getting in the 30's at night. But after about 3 months a neighbor found him and brought him home. He was really cold and really skinny. We warmed him up and got him a new viv and today he is growing like a monster. When he came home it was in November and he only weighed 100 grams at 5 months old. Today he was up to 256 grams at 7 months old. So he has done well and gained well over 150 grams since coming home. He is a beautiful orange color when he is happy and shows off his colors.

Next we have little sweet Ash. Ash got off to a rough start. We found her at petco, she was on sand and was really small and skinny. she was impacted and very weak. We bathed her and syringe fed her for many many weeks just in hopes of saving her. We thought at least if she did not make it she would at least have had someone who loved her. Well as time went on she got a little stronger. Finally she began to eat a cricket here and there on her own. She would sit on our hand and never move. she is just so sweet. She still takes days where she will not eat and where she wants to only be held to eat. She is very small we think for her age especially next to our others. Ash is the quiet one she hardly ever glass dances and never gets upset. She is just very calm. She is 5 1/2 months old and is 14 1/2" and weighs 165grams.

Then there is Cadmus. He is a monster. We just got Cadmus a couple of months ago and we are still learning a lot about him. He is starting to like to cuddle more and more since he is getting a little older. He is a big boy. I think he is at least one of the biggest in his clutch. He has a pretty large tail nip but he doesn't seem to notice. He has decided lately that he is not a baby anymore. He wants to eat the big boy dubia now. He will not eat the little bitty ones. He wants to eat the big ones. He does not get the breeder size but he does like the almost grown ones. He is a very vivid orange but some yellows and cream colors are starting to show through. His hatch date is 9/10/10 so that makes him almost 4 months old. Last night he measured 9 1/8" long (with tail nip) and weigh in at 100 grams!!!

So Welcome to our zoo. We also have the 4 dogs Fancy, Doodles, Lucky and Pep. The hamsters and the fish. Then you get all the critters that run wild around here. They tend to be the really interesting ones.

I was gonna post the pix but photobucket was being a pain in the butt today. I will have to post them later. Cadmus will eat 2 regular size dubia in the morning and 2 more in the afternoon. They are not the breeder size ones but they are the bigger ones. He is a pigdragon. He definately is gonna be a big boy.

I am glad I finally got this thread going. Now to figure out how to make a pic for my signature. lol I can not figure that one out.

For the signature, try photobucket. Once you log in click on tools, then image editor then collage...You can select how many pics you want, then upload them. PB was being a pain yesterday too...

You must get photobucket to like you so that we can see some new pics!
I have pretty much stopped using photobucket and am using flickr now, it works much better than photobucket.

I must check out this Flickr you speak of. It has to be better. I tried for an hour today to load pix to photobucket and never got one stinking pix to load right. I HATE photobucket. ARRRRRRRRGH!!!

The link that I sent to you for our pics is thru Flickr. I just use Butch's account, but never have any trouble like I do with photobucket. You have to do a couple extra steps to get the img code to post here, but it is so much better in general, just b/c it is not moody.

[/url][/img] Cadmus the little climber. He climbs everywhere. He likes to get in the blinds and look out the window.
DECEMBER
[/url][/img]Cadmus playing peek-a-boo into Gobi's viv. He climbed up there and was looking in.
Cadmus about a month ago sitting on my hand. He has gotten bigger since then. right now he is shedding again. I can hardly get pix without him shedding.
DECEMBER
[/url][/img]Ash sitting in the dubia bin having a snack. This is before she was afraid of the buggies. Now she is horrified of them. She is so small. See her head it is not even shaped like the other dragons. She is our special baby.
DECEMBER
[/url][/img]Ash sitting on Jeff's arm. You can see how small she seems. She is almost 6 months old.
DECEMBER
[/url][/img]Amigo sitting on my leg. You can almost see the lavender sides on him. If he would hold still the pix would be better. He has really began to look better.
DECEMBER
[/url][/img]Amigo likes to rearrange his viv and get all of his animals and toys on one end. As for what he is doing to his dump truck I will let the pic speak for itself. We did clean his cage again shortly after this pic. He is a very dirty dragon.
DECEMBER
[/url][/img]Gobi was a little impatient for her dubia. She knocked the cup out of my hand and climbed in to get them herself.
DECEMBER
[/url][/img]Gobi was on the dubia bin and looking at us like "mom, dad would you please open this up?" I think she wanted in.
Okay I hope ya'll enjoyed the updates and I will try to do better with the photos and keeping them current. When all 4 finish this shed they are in now I will get more pix.
Happy New year to all

OMG, I love Cadmus!!! He is super cute! :love10: Kimber is a climber too, and a jumper! Does Cadmus try and jump out of his viv?? That's so funny how Gobi didn't want to wait for the dubia!! I'm glad that Amigo is doing better after his big adventure in the wild! Ash is small, I bet that she'll eat dubia again in a few months...

I sure hope she eats them again soon.
Cadmus will almost fit in the leash that we got him from Christene at OgleRpets. He is a monster. We just took him with us
to Petco to get him a new viv. He loved the car ride.

We got the new vivs for the scaly kids but haven't got them set up yet. We haven't had time to get to lowe's to get the tile cut. I know the babies will love it though
when we get them set up.
We have been having some problems with Ash and her eating lately. We have been really worried about her. She finally yesterday started wanting some food on her
own. She ate about 5 butterworms and 1 dubia she also ate part of her salad. This morning she is running and playing more. I think she is finally feeling better.
Amigo is such a dirty boy. I think his adventure in the wild really messed him up. He is still so sweet and loves to cuddle but he is just dirty. All the other dragons have certain places where they poop every time. He just poops everywhere then walks through it and rubs it all over. He has to have a bath everyday. I have to wash his viv everyday. I love him though so it is okay I guess.
Gobi is growing into such a big girl. She is such a sweetie. She wants to cuddle all the time.
Cadmus is our little explorer. He loves to be out and climb and look everywhere. He is so curious.

All our babies are great salad eaters. Amigo will actually eat all his salad before he will even eat his buggies. If you offer them he will just look at them and go back to
his salad. He loves mustard greens and squash and really loves blue and blackberries. Gobi is the next best salad eater but she still loves her buggies too.
Cadmus is too interested in seeing how many big dubia he can eat. Then after he eats his he wants everyone elses. Finally he will eat his salad.

Just wanted to give some updates on how everyone was doing. It is a new year so I thought I would do better and try harder to keep up on the updates.

You'll have to update with pics of the new vivs when they're ready! I am still trying to find some furniture for our new vivs (it gets shipped out on Wednesday!!)
Good updates on the Fantastic 4! That's great that Ash ate for you! Chencho is the same as Amigo, he's a poop painter. I try to give him a bath everyday so he doesn't poop in his viv and run through it but every once in awhile I'm late! Gobi sounds like Belle, she just likes to cuddle it's really sweet. My little girls are explorerers like their brother! It must run in the family!!!

Amigo the Poop Painter I like that. I give him bath and he refuses to poop. As soon as I put him back in his viv and get the top back on he Poops. Then I clean it. I leave the room and he will poop again and slid right through it and sling it everywhere. I think I will invent dragon diapers. lol

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
