Rocky has been with us for just over a month and I think it's safe to say, he's settling in nicely.
I was leaving the house a few days ago and when I went to say "bye" to Rocky, I noticed that his hammock had fallen down. I didn't have time to fix it, so I moved him away from it and left it down; hoping that he wouldn't get back on it. Well...as we all know, our dragons LOVE their hammocks. This is what I found when I returned home, a few hours later:
Rocky, back on his fallen hammock. Using his tail to hold him up.
I decided to remove the hammock altogether for a while. Rocky was having none of that. From that day forward, he has been pooping on his basking spot, right where his hammock had been. And then he lays in it. I think this is an all out "Hammock Protest."
I had to give him a bath to get the poo off his belly and he tried his best to escape.
I want to put paper towels down on his basking spot to make clean up easier, but this guy is terrified of them! He freaks out every time I come near his tank with paper towels in my hand.
I am such a proud beardie mama. I love this guy and can't wait to share more of his adventures.
