    Seeking a Rescuer ASAP

    Hey everyone. I posted about a month ago about my family's misfortune in today economy. Unfortunately, I lost my job without unemployment benefits and soon after lost my home. I moved in with my family who was also going through the same problems. There are now 4 of us living in a house...

    Poop and Sunlight

    Ok, Spot hasn't pooped in about a week I think. She is nearing 2 years old, I'm just not sure if that's normal or not. She has been eating a lot of mustard greens, alfalfa and dandelion greens. As far as protein, she hasn't had as much as normal, I have supplemented chicken baby food for her...

    tail waving

    Has anyone else seen their dragons tail "wave" When i put Spot out in the sun, her tail rises and bit and slowly moves back and forth. Is this due to heat? Is she too hot? She isn't gaping, I just want to make sure that she is comfortable. She doesn't black heard or show any stress marks...

    Faux Rock Confuses Spot

    I built some faux rocks for Spot's tank last night. Here are some pictures, I don't think she knows what to do with it yet! As you can see, she keeps trying to climb BEHIND it rather than ON it.

    Passing on Spot

    This is a hard post for me. I have fallen on some very hard economic times and my support systems have as well. I am currently moving out of my house back into my parents. My parents have recently both lost jobs as well and are losing the house. Due to this, I have to let go of my beloved...

    Spots Prolapse

    Hey there. I am concerned about Spot. She recently prolapsed.. I noticed about 24 hours ago. Since then I have soaked her in a cool sugar water solution (1:3), cleaned the area and kept Vaseline/KY gel on it so that it does not become necrotic. Her prolapse isn't always visible, only...

    lotta wattage!

    Hello! As it is now moving into the cooler season it is time to start messing with Spot's light set-up to get the correct temps. I am used to playing the trial and error game, but I've come to realize that I am using a wayy wayy lot of wattage! I have a 55 gallon tank for spot that is covered...

    stopped eating greens

    Spot is about 14 months now and she is a very healthy girl. You can tell by looking at her, :D I recently switched her staple live feeders from crickets to superworms and it seems to be working out great. She gobbles them up viciously and is always eager to eat them. She would eat around 30...

    superworm feeding schedule

    Hey everyone, I just recently switched Spot's staple protein from crickets to Superworms. She is 13 months now and I am uncertain to how many Superworms she should be eating. Yesterday she ate 30 (and only that much because I cut her off) which I think is too much, but could be wrong. She is...

    What's in my dragons nose?

    Well hello again, Spot has now reached the 1 year mark! WOOHOO! I thought she'd be done shedding/growing now because she hasn't shed nor have I seen any difference in length in a few months.. but now she is in shed again! She's going on 17 inches now. She's grown about 8 inches in the 6...

    no more hand-feeding a picky critter

    Ok, some of you may have been reading my many pesky posts lately about the condition of Spot. First her crickets didn't seem healthy.. then she wasn't seeming healthy (loss of appetite, sleeping/hiding a ot and some eye irritations). I ordered and have been administering Reptaid and I removed...

    Hiding/Sleeping

    Hey all! Spot's Reptaid arrived about 6 days ago. I am relieved and she has started to eat very healthily. BUT, the one thing that hasn't changed is her sleeping/hiding. I took out her cave and hoped that would help, but now she just burrows underneath the carpet or curls up in any way...

    Eye Problems?? Maybe?

    How can I tell if Spot is having eye issues? She occasionally closes her left eye. Sometimes it will be her right, but mostly the left. And I am realizing it more lately. I could be realizing it more because I'm looking for an issue. My MVB IS a Powersun, but it was purchased 6 months ago...

    Crickets and Fleas??

    I got back from Brazil on Friday and my dad did a wonderful job taking care of spot. Her belly was white, she was hydrated and her food dish didn't have much wilted stuff in it and plenty of fresh greens. She hadn't pooped in about three days, but it is because she wasn't eating many crickets...

    Spot and Calcium

    Now that Spot is about 11 mo old and eating less live feeders I'm beginning to become somewhat clueless as to how much calcium/multivits to supplement her with. I believe how much calcium I am doing now is too much because she is getting a harder calcium deposite in her urates. Her feeding...

    Spots new feeding schedule

    Spot is about 11 months old now and has progressively started to eat less. She's now eating 20-30 crickets a day and sometimes only in one feeding. I've been providing her greens in the morning (and refill when needed) and am feeding her live feeders later on in the morning.. Instead of at...

    Cotton-mouth

    Spot at a cotton ball! Well, not the whole thing... I was bathing her today and when she was done I put her on the counter so that I could brush my teeth and get ready for the day. I looked down at her and she had fuzzy white stuff on her mouth. I pulled some of it out before she actually...

    80 degrees and sunny!

    This very nice weather we are having in Michigan is not Spots favorite. I took her outside today and she has never been darker! I thought she'd love it out, but she must be an indoor dragon...
