I mist my dragon a few times each day to make sure he stays hydrated and his tanks humidity stays up. hes also shedding right now. anyway he has 2 different things he does when i spray him. he either just sits there until hes decided hes had enough and then he runs off or a more recent behavior is him just facing the mist with his eyes closed and waving at the water. the weird thing is that from all the videos ive seen they seem to do it slowly but his isnt. is the waving another way of him telling me hes had enough?

Unless they actually lick the water off misting doesn't hydrate them anyways, that is one of the pieces of bad info petstores propagate. They only way to truely hydrate them is orally or with food with high water content. So unless he is shedding and your trying relax the shed a bit, misting him directly doesn't serve any real purpose.

he is shedding on his face and i think his tail is gonna start soon. sometimes he will swallow when i do it but he never seems to lick it. oncehes done with his shed i will probably gp ahead and cut down on the mist

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
