I took this picture today at the Petco. Unfortunately the store was busy and the Manager was a bit rude and all I could get was this picture. I do not know if he has fungus or not. To me the sore on his leg looks like the skin buckled because he is very dehydrated as you can see. Petco says they...

Hey guys, I haven't posted in forever so I apologize! Taj is now Freya as "he" laid eggs. :D Anyway the true reason for my post: I recently moved to NYC and my coworkers and I went to the Petco in the Upper East Side to look at some pet stuff together. While there we saw a sign for a dragon...

Thanks guys. Taj received a clean bill of health from the vet. He weighs 90 grams and she said he appears to be on the right track. I have to take a sample in for a fecal but so far so good. Since I adjusted the distance his powersun is away from his basking site, he is doing much better...

Real quick as I am typing a fact sheet for my vet. My vet from my hospital has canceled on me twice. :evil: So I tried to find another one and did. I have an appointment at 3 with her. Moving his mvb did improve his lethargy AND he was about to go into shed. He is again being lethargic...

Taj did not have a BM today, my fiancee was wrong. My fiancee moved the top rock away, but the rock underneath was still giving higher basking temps (115) so I removed that rock too. I now have 12 inches between the tip of the MVB and the slate tile. However when I tested the slate tile after...

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention that the Dachiu growth chart is fantastic. I will definitely save that and use it. Looks like according to that Taj may be 15-16 weeks old. Or at least that is the type of growth he is displaying. I just called my fiancee from work and told him to remove the top...

Em, thank you. Honestly you have helped give me more answers than my supposed reputable source on the outside has. I was even thinking last week that he was acting like he was having trouble seeing and could possibly be a little blind. I will heed your advice as soon as I get home. I am glad...

Thanks Embee. I will remove the highest stone in his enclosure when I go home. The problem is that he IS staying under the basking light all day, just asleep while doing it. For my enclosure (pictures in my blog) there is a fixture on the top of the roof that my MVB goes in. I can't move the...

First just let me answer these questions and get them out of the way. How old is your dragon? I am guessing 9 mo. to 1 year, but have no idea. I was told six months but don't believe it. How long have you had your dragon? 8 days How long is your dragon? A little over 13 inches What is the...

Will do, I'll go find it now.

In that picture, your Frank looks like my Taj did last night. I had to hold and hand feed him squash baby food; the first veggies he has had since Sunday. Glad to hear Frank is doing so well.

About the lump? No not yet. About the vet? Yes. I work at a hospital and we have a vet on call here. A friend told me to contact him and see if he would look at Taj and he will; as an added bonus he knows something about herps. Now I am just waiting for when the vet will be at my hospital...

Thanks

Spyder, thank you for the info. However...I was even told specifically not to go to the colonie animal hospital. You may think I am being stupid, but honest to god, good reptile vets? There are only about 5 in the state of NY. My friend Sean has had and raised reptiles for 20 years and told...

Where I live there are no real good herp vets. The vets up here have taken a few classes about herp medicine but are not experts by any means. Furthermore, I hear from a reputable source that they charge you astronomical fees and are squirmy and complain about seeing reptiles. My friend Sean...
