Eyes

[acidburn01]

I may of asked this before, but do her eyes look droopy or puffy or something.? It seems like they're always half-lidded, as opposed to Toothless' eyes that are always open all the way. Do females have more lidded eyes than males.? Is it because of her hekkin' fat flappydoodles.?

Her neck is hekkin' fat, I don't get it. It's disproportionate to her body, she only weighs 105g.

It looks like she might have some shed coming on -- we can have AHBD take a look see what she thinks

She did shed both sides of her face today, eye caps as well, I believe. Her eyes are real... slanty.? Like, they're not big or open as Tootheless', if any of that makes any sense. They look almost uptilted or something.

Could be just the way they are - I got someone looking at them

I thought it might be. I can post a better photo, if need be.

She might just be tired, you just got her yesterday so there could be stress involved. She's eaten quite a bit for a 12" dragon, be careful with the superworms. You say she's from a breeder, was she shipped to you ?

Yes, she came from someone we know at morphmarket. She was shipped in a container with a heatpack inside a Styrofoam liner inside a package box via FedEx business. The person we got her from said she just puts superworms and dubias in a bowl and whatever she eats, she eats. Her eyes look slanted and like she's got more eyelid to her than Toothless does. I can get a better picture of the slanted in the morning, she's sleeping.

You think she could still be that exhausted.? It seemed like she closed her eyes a lot today but she basks, eats, and poops okay and when we have her out, she walks around a lot.

Just let her settle in for a week or so. Don't be surprised if she stops eating tomorrow or in the coming days. Typically the appetite loss kicks in on day two or three.

I got some better pictures. Her eyes just look weird to us and we just wanted to make sure it didn't indicate sickness.

Surprisingly, she's still pretty calm and ate well. A chunk of salad, couple super worms and four or five dubias.

Her eyes look normal to me. Beardies physical appearance can be as different as humans can. Once you really start looking at them there is a ton of variation. Longer snouts, shorter snouts, the males can have the triangular heads like a female, or not. She looks perfect to me. My girl Snicker Doodles has eyes that are considerably more tilted that my other two, I'll post a pic.

I've noticed that.

Novas look just like yours do. She almost looks bloodhound like and I was worried because I know, otherwise, that indicates sickness and our first lizard had eyes really like that and it turns out he was super sick and I just want to avoid that. The breeder said she had a check up in August or September, I think, and all was good, but I just wanted to be double sure. She's so pretty and sweet

She is gorgeous

As a professional beardie starer- yes, the more you look the more you see and the more you see the more you realize that each beardie is unique!!!
Be careful, it starts with the eyes, then other parts, I promise (I recently posted about teeth somewhere LOL)
Gotta love our beardies!! #obsessed

It's wild, she's so different looking from Toothless. He looks like a frog/dragon and when she's looking straight at you, Nova looks like she has cat whiskers.

Oh you must've passed by the post where I run from Rocky when he looks right at me. I think he's a squirrel. Mind you I can cuddle with Rocky, feel his tail around my neck like a snake- no problem. If I am on the floor and he runs towards me, I shoot up so fast, it's crazy. He looks for me and I'm like (I'm just hiding Rocky, I will be back) LOL
Even when I slowly rock him and his head moves as if it's detached from his body, it doesn't freak me out but that front stare-- almost as bad as the black beard! EWWWWWWww
Now I would've used the correlation of a squirrel but I will totally go with frog/dragon LOL
I love it!!!
