No matter how much I try to find info I still have a mental block of whats what. All the food lists say that squash and carrots are good food items. What about the leaves of these plants? Cucumbers? Cukes and/or leaves Tomatoes are good-what about the leaves? Other times the leaves are mentioned...

It has been awhile since I last needed to post to ask a question. I do log in at least once a week and read but never post. Anyway our dragon is about 7 or 8 years old. We got him as a tiny baby in 2006 I believe. Could have been 2007. The inside edges of his rear legs up to about the crease has...

I would like to get a handfull of dubias to feed to my dragon without starting a colony. I do not want to breed them. Just give Rocky a treat one or 2 days. I can only find sites that sell them by bulk and that is way too many. 1st off, can they be kept in a cricket keeper without getting loose...

has anybody grew tomatos just to get the horn worms for you dragons? I don't know how the tomato worms get there but I have never seen these worms until I grew tomatos. That a years ago. And I have never seen them again once I stopped growing them. Now that I have Rocky I think I will grow a few...

what is prolapsing? He/she seems to be in semi brumation, He goes into his cave and and lays in there for a 2 or 3 days at a time and only pops out to eat a few crickets or worms and will go back in the cave. He normally walks around and looks at us or teases the dogs. Later he has become very...

can I take for granted that if my dragon poops in the bath that he is not impacted? He seems to only go once a week and only in the bath. He will just sit in the bath for 10 to 15 minutes paddling like a mad man. This is when he has a BM. And most times it seems to shoot out of him and his butt...

Not a staged photo for sure. The cat watches Rocky all the time but is more interested in the crickets when we feed the dragon. This time he was watching Rocky eat and when my wife walked in the room, there he was ---wishing he was out. The cats (2 of them) and the dogs (2 boxers and an american...

Rocky's pal Tiger the cat.

Rocky will not poop on his own. He poops only in the bath. It seems like he just waits until bath time. We fill his little tub every 3rd day or so and the minute we put him in he starts swimming and poops. When he is done he climbs out. What is going on here. Is it just his habit? Or is it that...

IF she lays non-fertile eggs what will they look like? How big will they be? Will they be buried?

After putting her in the box with the cover off a few times, she got accustomed to it AND started to go in on her own. So I put he cover on and put her in thru the door a few times. Now she goes in on here own. What should I be looking for? Will she just go in, lay eggs and come out? How long...

no no-I did not take it wrong. I really do appreciate your input and suggestions. Any answers or advice I can give can only come from my personal experience or from what I read. When I go thru anything with Rocky I ask if others have gone thru the same thing and what they did if anything. This...

your buddy is 621.421 grams (but you already know that because you said he was.621 kg's. To convert pounds to metric, multiply by 453.592 or do what I do and go to http://www.metric-conversions.org/weight/pounds-to-grams.htm and type in what you want to convert. He does seem to weigh ok for 20"...

thanks for trying to help. Yea, Rocky is on the small side of the dragon's growth length. But she does not have a yail nip and is very active. She has been on a varied diet of meal worms, supers, horn worms, wax worms and silk worms, crickets, morphed worms that look like little aliens and...

Hi I just posted a weight chart in another post. Here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=93034 Weight is more proportionate to his length than his age. How long is he?
