When I first got my dragon he was so- so skinny and small. Looked to be about 2 months of age. He's being fed around 20-30 Dubias a day now and a staple of collars greens. Reptisun 10.0 tube and a 75 watt basking lamp. He's definitely fattened up but as I went to check in with his owner, she...

i have dubias ! i'm planning to keep him on them with crickets in case i run out ( a nearby store sells them) i'm using the reptisun 10.0 and a zoo med 75 watt basking bulb. the temp on the basking area is around 100, and the cooler side in the 80s. i can't get any pics but i've been looking...

she wasn't- but she mentioned getting him a few months back so i assume he's older than that. *sighs* i know it's gonna take a long time to reverse the effect of his past owners- even if he is a year old I hope I can just feed him as much as I can and perhaps he'll fatten up and get to the same...

I contacted his previous owner to check in and ask for his exact age, and I'm really shocked. Of course, since I got him I've been stuffing him and providing him with crickets and vegetables- the latter after the crickets because he seems to like both equally. So if hes still hungry he eats as...

Local vet it is ! We have a reptile specialist vet nearby and I'll call to see if they, or us anyone they know is qualified to look after him. And I'm going camping so- I don't think I can bring him.

also on the poop question- his poop used to smell awful ! real bad- but i don't think it was parasites but due to his last owner not giving him high enough basking light temps- or high enough temps at all. perhaps it wasn't digesting well ? his latest poops haven't been any smellier than they...

im sorry i just have so many questions im an anxious mother. my baby keith usually poops everyday but he didn't today- maybe he's growing and will poop tomorrow ? this has already happened once but he pooped right when he went for a bath. he eats so, so much so i'm hoping he's just digesting it...

so i was feedin keith with some greens and made the mistake of putting some strawberry at the end of my finger and he totally chomped down :shock: he bit down a few times and i kinda sat there then tried wiggling out his mouth. he kept on going for a moment before letting go. i don't think he...

dude i have a juvenile lizard and he's super active, he likes to explore when i bring him out (p clumsy sometimes he's bumped his head jumping from blanket to blankets or on my arms. he's not very chill when i bring him out- which i guess is a good thing but i hope as he grows he slows down...

update - he took a loooooooong time drinking from the sink today promptly before getting in the water ... and pooping. it was mostly solid until it broke and half and like ... TMI WARNING : totally like broke and half and multiple vaguely looking leaves came out. awesome. he's now chomping down...

it is indeed the 20L ! the mesh is actually kinda small but if need be i can always make an opening for the bulb to get in while staying safe. he's doing well this morning, a little bit of wall surfer but i expect it's because of all the new stuff (and he regularly fights his own reflection) as...

I hear you on the 20 gallon- it's still a huge upgrade from the 10 he came in. I have a reptile specialist nearby, thanks to checking the link you sent and I'm gonna see if I get get him in soon ! Again my parents aren't covering anything and I have a low end job so I was hoping to wait a few...

THANK you for the advice and tips. I went out today and got supplies for my baby and pimped out his old, ugly, not healthy cage. Currently I have a 75 watt eco terra basking light ? It came with him so I'm assuming that's what's kept him alive for so long. (idk if you can tell in the pic, but...

what im really confused on is- the woman showed us her adult she's been caring for since it was a baby and it didn't seem to look unhealthy ? no sign of a bone disease or crooked limbs/jaw/spine etc. HOW

i am beyond terrified. i'm like, 15 years old and i've been working for a while and decided that i'd finally saved up for a lizard and bought one from a lady looking for a new home. at the time i was looking at him he was really small and looked super healthy ! the lady said to give her a...
