Well, my on board advisors who said that everything happens for a reason were right. All week I had my heart set on a Petco beardie who was sold before I could bring him home... but today I was out shopping with a friend and found another dragon, about three months old, and couldn’t resist. He’s a lovely terra-cotta color and was very clean and mellow when handled; I had the pet store guy drop a few crickets in and he showed a good feeding response. So I brought him home and named him Figment.
He’s spent all evening where I placed him, on the prime basking branch, and I knew he’d reached the optimum temp when he started gaping. I’m following the advice I’ve been given and will be keeping hands off for a week to let him settle in. My question is, what should I be on the lookout for in this first week or so, for signs of health and signs that are red flags?
I’d post a picture of him, but can’t figure out how!
