Meet Felniir

Howdy, guys!

It's been a while since I posted an update - Felniir is growing steadily, and I think he's growing more and more colorful and beutiful with each day! :lol:

Also, my roach colony is growing I can see more and more nyphs with each passing week 8)

I love his colouring. Mine is more beige with orange only in her beard.

He seems to be doing well.

Long time, no checking in, so here's a more recent picture - I've taken Felniir to work with me.

He was very tired by the end of the day, but all my colleagues loved him 8)

It's crazy how quickly they grow. The time flies, enjoy time with him while he's a little guy =)

As far as guides go for roaches, I like this one https://www.southtexasdragons.com/dubia-roaches.html If you have any specific questions though feel free to ask us. There are several of us who have roach colonies and can provide advice based on our experiences.

You can also get info on how to breed supers and crickets to cut down costs, also you might want to grown some of his greens for him so you know what goes into them while they grow. Yes pestisides will go into a plant, so please be careful. I am an organic grower so i can give you tips on set up of an organic mini farm that will work mostly for you. i sister plant (its a method) both large and small types of plants. BTW you are doing just fine I got mine with not much more info than you had (i had to beg my herp phobic hubby for a reptile for years and it took two years of showing vids to him to get my Draconis! Hes not afraid of the lil guy but still will squirm a bit when he digs his claws into his shirt) and i went from haing the beardie kit lights to a MVB, the stupid manufactuere made the 40 long tank i got to where you cant mount lights on the inside safely and the top screen area isnt big enough tof the strip lights......then cooper and a couple others told me about the mercury vapor bulbs and i did a tiny jump for joy! I love being on this site, people here are warm anf friendly and wont jump all over you about things. You picked a good site to come too. If you need info on ANYTHING just post your question and someone will have the answer. Btw this i smy baby boy his name is Draconis. Its taken from a game that did a play on Draco which means dragon, Does Felniir have a specific meaning?

I know im a bit late to the thread but my other post will stay there just in case others read it. Your baby boy looks very wonderful, does he have a plushy? The dragons seem to love plushies, mines addicted to emojis and tricerotops. His first dino was plastic but he loved riding it!! He also wont let me take it out o fhis take without having issues! Heres a pic of him on his first dino ride.....
And yes hes listening to bohemian rhapsody while he rides his dino...... Again your baby looks sooo wonderful!! keep up the good work. BTW a tired dragon is a great thing, that means his handler/human parent is doing a great job at keeping him/her well exercised.

Late reply here again - No, I haven't tried showing a plushie/plastic toy to him yet, but I'll get to it

A quick update here:

I think Felniir is preparing for his first brumation :lol:

He's staying in the cool side of the tank, napping almost all day.

That does sound like brumation is starting. Make sure he poops before he goes down for his long sleep.
