Interesting idea. The kids desperately wanted to meet him last year, but I was so worried about his regular lethargy that I didn't want to stress him out. I teach a high school science class, so it shouldn't be hard to convince admin to let him visit on a regular basis and the kids are mature...

I adopted Spyro from a girl who had no idea how to care for him about 2 years ago. He was in rough shape, having multiple seizures per day with kinks in his tail and small calcified knots on his spine and ribs. The vet confirmed that he has permanent brain damage from the ordeal, although he's...

Thank you! The tremors happen both when he is awake and when he is asleep. Some days he seems to have more than others. I don't have a job at the moment, so I'm home with him all day to watch. I'll keep an eye out for some collard greens next time I go shopping.

I've determined that he definitely hates baths. He fought me again when I went to put him in the water and got visibly nervous when I was scrubbing him with the tooth brush, but he stank! Yesterday, he dozed off in my arms while I was petting him. I think we're bonding well. He had about an...

This is the best picture I've taken of him so far. This was as he was waking up this morning. He has all his toes and his entire tail intact, so he wasn't completely mistreated.

I rescued a 2 year old male beardie 4 days ago. He did not have proper heat (it was only 80F on the warm side), no UV, diet (he was fed entirely on commercial diet and freeze-dried insects), or enclosure set-up (there were 2 large decorations that were meant for juvenile beardies and were...
