Hello, all! If you've interacted with me before, you know I have a tragic past with these little guys. I've owned 3, and all 3 had health complications. I was ready to quit, thinking I was the problem. After changing my set up countless times, preparing, and the constant feeling of missing something, I decided I would go to Repticon and see if there was one for me. Walking around for a while, I saw a lot of beautiful dragons, but none that stood out to me. Until I stumbled upon a gecko breeder in the back. He kept all of his animals on bigger containers than everyone else and they all looked fat, healthy and active. So I started looking around, and then I see this:
I knew I had to have this dragon. I asked to see it, and immediately fell in love. I learned it was a female, and she was the most relaxed, yet healthy and active dragons I had seen. She was plump, her eyes were alert and she was content just sitting in my hand. I immediately bought her. I bought 250 small dubias (she has eaten 50 already) and some veggies which she has also taken a liking to. I bought a T5 lamp and have 2 bulbs on the way so I can stop having a lamp dangling into the enclosure. I also bought her a log (which she loves) and brought her home. Here she is with one of her siblings:
They were all striking. She is settling in great, has been eating like crazy and using the bathroom. Healthiest dragon I've had
Some more pictures for you guys:
I name my dragons after characters. 2 out of the past 3 have been Game of Thrones: Drogon and Tyrion. And my last was Jojo from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. I did some researching, wanting to name her after a Targaryen but not after the Khaleesi because that's too mainstream. I settled on Rhaeny, one of the first Targaryen's in the 7 kingdoms and a strong woman in the family. It fits her color and her personality. I'm so happy to have another dragon, she's definitely brightened me up after being a bit down since Jojo. I hope to give her a long, happy life and I can't wait to share our journey with you guys!
