We're taking Falcon in tomorrow for more blood tests to see what kind of infection he may have. When we initially took him in for his a wellness checkup back at the end of Aug on his bday, we did a blood test just to make sure everything was okay. It came back with "elevation of some of his...

Hi Tracie His basking temp is 96-105 depending what surface is measured under light (see my initial post for temps) I’m not sure what the injection is but the oral was tmp/smz

H e is a dunner ! A FB admin told me there was an issue breeders had with dunners a while ago where they were hoarding food in their beard. How do you get them to stop doing this ? The only thing that changed is we reduced his bug intake (and started giving him meds) - even if the meds made him...

Hi there ! Sorry this is so long but i wanted to be as detailed as possibly before you guys give input or ask your questions: Last week, Falcon twice hoarded food in his beard and twice regurgitated it after a day or couple of days. I noticed after eating bugs, his beard would be very saggy...

What’s your uvb index ?

depending on where he is sitting, the temps range from mid 90s to 110s as for the uVB, we have a solarmeter to measure so again, depending on where he is perched, it ranges from 1.5 - 4

I'm curious bc we got Falcon back in Jan at 12" long when he was roughly 5 mo at 103g. He's currently 9 mo, 252g, 15" long. He's been 15" since beginning of May. I don't know if growing 3" since Jan is slow or normal I'm having a hard time imagining him getting any bigger. I went to the pet...

Falcon is 8 months old today and added on 100g ! First pic is from this morning at 14” long, 204g ! Second is was the day we got him (1/22/22) at 12” long, 103g Question: unless he’s outside the tank, he isnt very active, just basks all day. Doesn’t run/walk around his tank. The only time he...

i dont think he was trying to get to his UVB bc the 2 places he normally basks all day were untouched - all i did was add another platform (his hideaway) to the hot area. his UVB is the long tube. i dont think it's a UVB issue. i have a solarmeter to measure the UVB everyday. im guessing he...

he hadnt done this before since normally he just chills in his 120g/4x2x2 tank (unless he needs to poo, then he'll come off of his perch/basking area). he wasnt quite glass surfing. he was just doing laps over and over on one half of the tank for maybe, like, 10 minutes. then he went up his...

gotcha - so do you think him being super active bc i added / rearranged stuff was not the signal to take him out of the tank ? lol i bought a new, tall hideaway to put on the cool side of his tank (which he hasn't used) and moved his old, shorter hideaway to the hot side which he did end up...

ok his beard never turned black. and he didnt run off to hide, unless thats what he was trying to do when he was running around. ever since i got him in Jan, he's been hard to read bc he has NEVER tried to hide or run away from me. he just sits there lol so im like 'is he ok? is he just real...

Since today is cloudy here in LA and a little chilly, we didn't go outside for him to get his daily dose of the sun. But bc i bought something new for his tank, I re-arranged his tank accessories and he seemed to explore it a lot/was SUPER active (he's not usually too active in general and just...

We went to the vet yesterday ! This was her response : in terms of his tail base, I think you are feeling normal boney structures. The vertebrae within the tail have transverse processes, which are pieces of bone that stick out on either side. The tail then meets the pelvis. The base of the tail...

I take my dragon, Falcon, out almost every day to get some real sunlight. if he's feeling a bit nervous, we're only out there for about 20 minutes. Otherwise, we're out there just chilling for an hour. Since he gets real sun + UVB light tube, do you think it's necessary to give D3 supplements...
