Hello,
I just purchased a baby dragon yesterday and I think it may be a Rankins.
Could you please tell me what is it, based on the pictures?
Here is a picture from the seller, mine is the one marked "A"
The one marked "B" have a different back, he's the one in the next picture.
Now there are 24 hours since Pepe is in his new home and he didn't eat anything.
He spends most of the time basking on a log, I've seen him climbing on the background, making some trips on the floor and then climbing back on his basking log but he is not interested in food.
He has a plate with a mixture of greens and butternut squash, but he ignores it.
I've placed about 15 small crickets in a plastic container and put Pepe inside, but he ignored them and then jumped put of it and climbed on his log.
Should I be worried because he is not eating?
I think the temperatures are good, on the floor the temps varies from 18ºC (65F) in one side to 30º (86F)in the other, here is a heating mat under the bottom.To the top of the logs the temperature can reach 42ºC (107F). If he wants he can get closer to the heat /light source by climbing on the background.
There is a 125W Solar Glo at about 30cm (12 inches) from the basking spot providing light and UVA+UBB, a regular 100W helping to raise the temperatures.
I plan to give him (her?) a bath later today.
So, is it a beardie or a Rankins?
Should I be worried about eating? What can I do to make him eat?
Many thanks!
Cristian
