As some of you know, I have a habit of taking in special needs dragons over the years. Working with an exotic vet has allowed me to be able to provide the care these guys have needed over the years with out breaking the bank.
Yesterday, I got wind of a local shop that will not be named having a tailless baby up for adoption.
His clutch mate nipped his tail and it turned into tail rot. He was taken to a different vet and given a clean bill of Heath after his infection was cleared and tail healed up.
Now, the shops had him for 6months, putting him 6-8 months of age. He got correct lighting, diet, care etc.
Neither the shop nor the vet know why he’s so small still, and you know I’ll be taking him into work to my exotic vet to have an exam, and I’ve already emailed Tracie asking to order another Adeno test.
Is there anything I need to be aware of with a mostly tailless baby? Seems to be acting like any other baby so far. Settling in well.
I’ve done missing limbs before, and tail nips, but never tailless.
Anyways here’s Shoto! He’s a whole 11grams on the dot
