I know when Sully goes in the bath, he pretty much drinks the bathwater for the entirety of the ~20 mins he's in there, which is a LOT of water in a quick period of time for something with such a tiny tummy, you know? He's thrown up before after a bath, and it looked exactly like your pictures...

Haha, thank you! I'm pretty quick with taking my hand away when he jumps and hisses, but my dad isn't so fast. But hopefully Sully isn't too much of a monster for him-- he's just started trying to handle him. What a trooper.

I've had my dragon for about 2 years now, and he's a big mama's boy. :lol: He doesn't like anyone but me holding him, but I'm trying to get him more used to my dad so while I'm away at college he can have more interaction (plus he won't be so nasty when I come back for summer). But I was just...

oh man, thanks so much! I was freaking out the whole day that he was sickly or something. you totally put my worried mind to rest, thanks! :lol:

so, I let Sully play around this morning while I cleaned his tank. however, when I picked him up from his little romp with my bedsheets, I noticed that he had this bit of... something in his vent. it looks like this: basically, after I got back from some shopping, I gave him a bath to see if...

Sully is about 6 months old right now, and he's just about 15 inches long (woo!). however, he hasn't shed since probaby end of October/beginning of November? I'm not sure how much dragons are supposed to shed really, but it seemed odd to me, because usually he'd shed almost every 2 weeks, and...

Sully still does this, it drives me crazy! he can literally tell if I'm in a room by if the light near his tank (the room light) is turned on. the other day, he completely left his meal and shuffled to his basking spot when I accidentally walked in on him chowing down. I just have to put the...

ahah yeah, my friends were all laughing that I was worried, but it was just really odd to me, compared to how many bugs he used to eat. he's a little chubby though so I guess him not totally pigging out is a good thing for me. :lol: plus that means less trips to the store to get him bugs! oh...

I just noticed that in the past couple weeks, Sully has been eating a lot more greens than normal. usually, I give him a bowl--(about 4" in diameter) of mustard greens, sometimes with blueberries or apples mixed in-- in the early morning, before I leave for school. then, when I get home, he used...

as mentioned, don't listen to anything the pet store employees say. like, unless you are specifically in a reptile store. the guy who was helping me when I bought Sully told me that mealworms are a perfect feeder (they are not, they're hardly even healthy enough for a snack/treat), told me to...

I've heard several people mention that filing their claws is fine (and easier?) to do, but I tried to do it the other night and nearly had a conniption fit. granted, that was my first time trying it, but holy mother, it was too hard! their toes can't stay stiff, like how when we file our nails...

Sully almost always jams himself into the back corner of his tank, behind his branch and basking rock. he looks ridiculous doing it now, because he's getting so big, but it's really cute when he wakes up and wiggles around to say hello when I turn on his lights in the morning!

oh man, when I got my beardie for my birthday, he really didn't like me either, and he still beards and goes totally ape when ANYONE but me comes in to pick him up, haha. what I did was, every day, I'd just try to pet Sully. I'd slowly lower my hand down to him make sure he saw me moving it...

I have an approx. 5 month old, too, and he's just about 14 inches, as I found out this morning! he's a chubby, happy boy though, so I never questioned his size. some just grow really fast, I suppose! I'm glad I'm not the only one with a smaller dragon, either, ahaha. :lol:

is a 5 month old an adult? I wasn't sure if he was considered one, but yeah I'll definitely change the basking temp then, I noticed the other day that it was a little high. and yes, I read the same thing! Sully eats them really fast, and usually I just give him a food bowl full of them and let...

well, every morning when I wake Sully up and give him his veggies before I go to class, he's always very dark, nearly brown! normally he's a very orange, so it's a huge difference from what he usually looks like! they can get lighter, too! Sully is always bright orange when he's swimming around...

alright so I've been feeding Sully reptiworms for maybe about 3 months now? he really likes them, and that was working great for me. however, in the past 3ish weeks, I noticed that he's been pooping out a few whole ones. they're dead, but they're whole, and it's not often a lot, usually maybe 2...

oh whoops, thank you for moving this thread for me. and thanks, I'll definitely try that! c: hopefully that'll keep the scratches to a minimum on me, ha.

so Sully is around 5 months old now, yay! anyway, the past few weeks, when I give him a bath or let him sit with me while I'm on my laptop, I'm noticing he's scratching me--really bad. this morning I held him for a time, before the apartment upstairs had some massive loud noises and scared the...

well, I know when Sully is shedding, he absolutely hates cuddling, and will beard at me whenever I have to pick him up. otherwise, he's pretty friendly with me. you have to remember that shedding is really uncomfortable for them, so if they get cranky, it's only to be expected, you know? as for...
