Thank you! I'll see how we go, and keep a close eye on her. Also thanks for the basking temp. She didn't seem to like it very hot when she first came, sat herself out of the main basking spot all day. But I'll nudge it up again and see if that's changed in the last few weeks. Might wake her up...

Thought I should probs answer some of these questions, bc I haven't yet. In case it helps. How old is your dragon? 7ish How long have you had your dragon? 2 months How long is your dragon? 17or 18 inches, but missing a chunk of tail. What is the sex of your dragon? Female, but have never...

At the start of September we rescued a 6 or 7 year old female. Have been working to get her healthy again and have managed to get her weight up from 350g to 380g. She's blind on one side, so gets very frustrated eating bugs and missing them, so it's slow going. The past week she's turned down...

Yes, these are the pics I compared. I know markings can change, but surely not within a shed or two. Also the two markings under that large circle that thin into points. They are a big difference too.

Meal worms?! I thought they were the worst. All chitin and empty calories?

Thank you. Don't fret, wax worms are not a staple, they are the weekend treat after a bath and weigh in. Or when she has struggled too much to catch things and given up and it becomes a reward for trying ?. And we're only talking a couple or three. We're in the UK, so silk worms are hard to...

I would say no. Looking at the spinal markings. But very similar, so same brood maybe? Unless those dark markings change quickly with age, not the exact same dragon. (edited to say : I think the markings on yours are nicer!)

Hi, just wondering what the best SLOW foods are for a half blind, slightly rickety beardo. She prefers to be handfed EVERYTHING because she just misses all the time and gets fed up and gives up. So nothing too fast, she hadn't eaten bugs for months when I got her bc she was left to hunt them and...

Omigosh everybody! She moved! She jumped down from her basking shelf, had a wander round, a poop, and then I watched her (after walking into a few things in her blindspot) scrabble back up again. I am so relieved. Mind you, that was yesterday and she hasn't shifted today, except to shuffle...

Yeah, that one went in the first 5 minutes ?. Obviously this beardo is not quite as suspicious as the last one and straight away went om nom nom. The spikier looking plastic plants she has shown no interest in, so we're keeping them for now, but with a very close eye on them. All suggestions are...

Thank you! Should I feed her bugs more often to get the weight up, do you think? I was going for 3x a week, like schedule for previous beardo, but he was healthier. Also she can't see at all out of the left eye. It's not swollen or anything, but it literally does not move and she sees NOTHING...

She's sociable so much as she doesn't run anywhere, lol. She lay on me for a good half hour last night watching TV and had a little snooze. But I wouldn't say she seeks outs company. The rescue place thought she was about six or seven, but didn't actually know.

Thank you, that's very reassuring. I managed to weigh her earlier and she's just about 350, which feels light for her size. She's about 17 inches, but is missing at least an inch off her tail, if not a couple. She has a LOT of loose skin, I feel like she has been bigger at some point in her life...

Also is the weird colour around her mouth anything? Am I being paranoid or is this a mouth rot thing?
