Hi all. I just wanted to update everyone on Thane's health. His backstory and fight with ADV is located in the thread "Juvenile Bearded Dragon Won't Eat and Rests Most of the Day" if you don't already know about the little guy.

TLDR, here he is at 16g, one month ago:

Then we started him on an echinacea blend, then suddenly... BAM, he started eating 40+ medium crickets and 1/2 inch dubias a day!

And here he is today, after a shed, at 35g! Look at that belly!

Thank you! He's even been eating greens too! Update: I was WAY off on his weight. That was last week. He's at 52g as of today!

Thank you so much!

I do have an update. Our little guy... is not a guy LOL. I did a flashlight test and an outer visual test... and Thane is a lady! We are keeping the name (maybe Thaney as a nickname?).

It happens to the best of us :lol:
My first dragon is Simon. I kept testing but he was so young that I didn't know if he had developed yet... Over a year later and I'm more than sure Simon's a she.

My new baby was an apparent male as soon as I got him at a little under 7", about 3 months ago. I keep checking just in case, but he's up to 12" now and still is showing male so I think I'm safe this time

Just a quick update on Thane. We took her to the vet on Saturday for a check-up, and the doctor said she looks great! He was happy to hear about how big her appetite is, and he said that she doesn't need more antibiotics as of right now!

Another awesome thing I can say is that she JUST KEEPS GETTING FATTER. She's been putting on about 5-10 grams a day, it seems. At the vet yesterday, she weighed 71g. Today, she weighs 78g. A week ago, she weighed 45g. She just finished her second shed, so her colors are super vibrant, too.

And here is the big eater, showing off her sexy legs. As you can see from the pic, we added tile, too!

Hello,

Wow, Thane is really looking good! :D She has gained a lot of weight & is really taking off now.
She sure is a beauty, too. You must be so proud of her.
I hope she continues to improve at this rate. I'm glad she shed again also.
Great job with getting her healthy.
I love her sexy leg pose, too.

Update! Thane is a whopping 90g as of yesterday! Also, even though she just finished shedding, her colors have started to dull AGAIN, so we think she will be having another body shed soon!

We are working on getting her to eat those greens. "How dare you assault me with vegetation!"

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
