I got Skittles on June 1. He is a yellow and orange leather back. He is very friendly. He lives in a 48x26 vision cage. He is eating 50 to 60 BSF a day. I have escarole and dandelion greens mixed with acorn squash to eat also. I bought some collard greens today. I put some in front of him and he ate some. First time I saw him eat any veggies. I bought a red bell pepper for my quiche and gave him a few pieces and he gobble them right up. Took few days to get the temperature right in his basking area. Not too hot or cold. Here are a few pics of him.
His breeder said that he played in his poo. Can't wait for his back to finish shedding and see his pretty colors

Your dragon is adorable! He looks very well cared of, and sounds like he has found himself a great person to order around and get fed from. :D

Skittles turned a year old this week. Middle of October into November he had a period of not eating or eating very little. He loss 15 gms. I put it down to change of season and puberty. He did not act sick and his poos were small but normal. I change his bugs from BSF to silkworms and then to Dubias. The pass couple of weeks he has been eating very well. He now gone from 257gms to 300 gms.

He looks like he's nice and healthy. Don't worry about small drops like that as long as he's still trending steady or upward overall in weight. My dragon will go +/- 20g with a big meal or a poop easily. Sometimes he goes through spells of not wanting to eat as much and will lose a bit but then gain it back with a few big meals.

Have had Skittles almost a year now. He now weighs 340 gms. He is still a bright yellow and orange color. So calm and friendly.
