I have only had him for about 2 weeks. He was given to me by my friend who never ever held him, only took him out to bath and his UVB light was on top of a screen. After scouring this website, I fixed his UVB and raised his temps. But all in all he seems healthy. He has his first vet appt...

Hi! I just recently adopted a 2yr old male from a friend. He is our first as well. Lot's of great folks on here to answer questions. Welcome to you and to Delilah. Ravyn

Thanks! I don't know why I thought they were good for a staple diet. Well, I will be off the grocery tonight and also will look for a digital scale to weigh him. I feel he is small for 2yrs old at least length wise, will he grow more? He is hating me right now, he is standing at his food...

Oh sorry, was just rereading my first post it should say 30 calcium coated crickets every OTHER day, not every day. Ravyn

Not sure how much he weighs but he is only 15.5inches long and about 5 inches across his back when he is laying down and about 4.5 inches when he is standing up, does that make sense? I figured I was giving him too many bugs but he loves them sooo much, how can I say no? Right now as I type...

I wish I had a picture of it, it was so funny. Yesterday my little Gnomeo was dozing on his log under his basking light. Eyes were half closed, his tail tucking around, his little head slightly bobbing up and down. He was just enjoying life with a look of contentment upon his little Gnomeo...

Awww, Rex is so cute.

Ha ha! I used to catch Horny Toads when I was a little girl growing up in Oklahoma. Used to drive my dad batty bring a new one home every day with a name hoping my dad would let me keep it LOL. Ravyn

Thanks. I have tons of the clay tile left over and intend on going crazy while my 18yr old is out of school for the holidays. He runs the mason saw :). And I am sure I will be posting tons of pics of Gnomeo, he just makes it so easy! Ravyn

Thanks, but I think this may be turning into a sickness LOL. I don't even take this many pics of my kids! Anyway, took a few more to toss in here :), hope it's not too many. Greating the sun(lamp) Feeling good This is the Flinstone hut/basking spot I made for him from the left over clay...

I didn't think of that. He is a big dragon and eats large crickets. I got him some worms and he has to eat twice as many of those to fill him up as he does the crickets so they turned out not to be cost effective except as a treat to keep him on his toes. Now that we have his enclosure dialed...

Gnomeo has been with us for a week and a half already. I cannot believe how attached we have all become of this little critter. I can honestly spend hours just watching him and wondering what he thinks about (I suspect his sole thought is how to get more crickets though). Since when can a man...

What an emotional journey reading your story has been. I wiped tears a couple times. How wonderful you and your 4 loves have found each other. Thanks for the inspiring thread and I have your 4 rescues in my thoughts and prayers. Ravyn

I ask because my viv is glass with a screen top, it gets pretty cold in there at night and keeping temps steady during the day is a bit awkward. I thought about mylar around 3 sides but worried about hot spots from the lights. Thinking about some of that styrofoam stuff you get in sheets from...

Cute! :D Ravyn
