Hi thanks for the reply Tracie. Rushing about with my little girl at the moment so sorry for the rushed reply but I'll try answer your questions. They came out of their eggs like that? As soon as their heads appeared I could tell they were swollen The rest of the hatchlings have normal eyes? 14...

My local reptile shops swears by these new arcadia flood lamps for their reptiles in store so much so that they even helped their tree monitors start mating! They brightened up colours of reptiles that arent known to colour up in captivity. So my question is in experience which is better the...

Thanks for your advice I was wondering whether to try encourage them to eat more veg so thanks will try that. And Yeh I get what you mean as long as they are healthy. Any tips to encourage veg eating? They look at it but that's about it lol even my toddler eats her veg these dragons are...

Thanks :) I spoke to my vet today who said that animals have such a keen instinct it may be she knows shes not healthy enough to carry a clutch so she wont breed. She may be able to in future but she will know herself. Don't think Id be able to do that to her though she my little girl. But...

Ive had my rescue dragons for about a month now and theyve gained about 20g each which is great but they are still only 37cm and 150g severly underweight. O and theyre 2 years old. The vet is happy with them, bone density is great, they have an appetite now ( I previously had to syringe feed...
