Emmalee is 10. For the last year especially I have noticed changes. She used to be quite big and buddah bellied. However, she has now slimmed out and has zero fat pads on her head. Her tail still holds fat. Had her at the vet last year due to rusty liquid being passed in her poop. She had a full work up and all was normal. She did lose weigjt to sickness but put quite a bit back on....however never got back to her usual full size and despite eating well....never gets fat pads on her head anymore. As she was my first dragon....I am not sure if slimming is a normal process.

I think I remember Emalee. Is she the one that did the long brumations ? Anyway, as they get older their body can definitely change, just like old people. Can you post pics of her ?

Hello,

Yes, I completely agree. They usually do slim down as they get older. Our boy, Eins turned
10 in June this year. He has slimmed down some as well. I can get him to gain some but his
weight is a little less than it used to be.

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.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
