Puff passed away unfortunately. She will be the last dragon I have as there isn't another exotics vet around here and I just don't think she got the care she needed.

No!

These are her from her sickest. You can really tell about her feet and she couldn't even raise her head. She is much better now and actually is at least scooting along trying to get to different sides of the tank which is a vast improvement. I will definitely keep her nice and hydrated and try...

Thank you! She laid another this morning, so hopefully she will lay the rest of her clutch. I'm watching her closely for egg retention. She has definitely been lethargic prior to laying, but still eats, poops and walks raised up when she walks but has had no interest in digging. She's my first...
