An update on Sirius

Hi!
A few weeks ago a thread about an UVB tube turned into a thorough talk about my soon to be second beardie, now named Sirius. To summarize, Sirius is a runt of a pretty big clutch - He was bullied by his bigger siblings and was set to be put down - due to seller predicting he would not sell, with significant damages to toes and tail - but i asked the breeder to sell him to me. I had my own fears seeing him, but had never dealt with tailrot before, so I initially listened when the breeder told me he was fine - Until i posted pictures here and people voiced concerns about the injuries, and told me that he was in great risk of infection. Concerns and tips were forwarded to the breeder, but they insisted tailrot was not present, and to put how that went short - I had to retract those advances, and just hope for the best.
A while ago I went and helped the breeder divide the babies, so Sirius is now housed with just half of his clutch. He is still doing ok. The earliest breeder will give him up is end of this month. But I wanted to update you guys. I want to tell someone who gets it. I love this little baby.

Thank you for the update.
Sirius is beautiful and I'm glad he made it this far. Just hang on some more, little buddy!
His tail looks nipped but without seeing him in person it is hard to tell if that would be tail rot or not.

Thank you, me too. Yeah it is. Got these pictures yesterday. When I visited last about a week ago the tip was still dark but on these pictures it looks like not anymore. I don't know if that means anything. Hope it might be good.

Maybe it really was dirt or just pre-shed discoloration (lets hope so) but I was also thinking he looked better on those pictures.

And him being with a smaller group he will also have a better chance to get his share of the food and the basking time.

The little guy has got some fight in him. The tail looks better with the damaged part gone. I think he'll make it and I think you are going to give him a great life. Keep us posted, I was wondering just the other day if he was hanging on. It makes me happy to see that he is!!!!

Hes such a strong little dude and such a sweetheart. Viv and table arrived the other day so now all thats left is to assemble them. I can't wait to give him this life and to see his little face everyday.
I have been thinking about you guys a lot! Your support has been very important to me, to be sure im doing right by him. So thank you, again!

Hello,

He is very sweet & it looks like he is improving quite a bit! You are doing a great job with him. He is
a lucky little one. So many dragons don't get good homes & I'm sure he is very grateful for his home
with you.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
