[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1794255, member: 89387"] Oops -- my mistake. I've never had any leopard geckos so I was only thinking about bearded dragons. I guess maybe they're a little more social and not so likely to hurt each other if they live together. I've seen enough of them to know that they're cute little things, but that's about as far as my knowledge goes. :oops: I guess our beardie was lucky that he probably had most of his growing done before he got adenovirus. We're not exactly sure how he got it, although I'll just say that I have my suspicions and leave it at that. He was pretty sick when it was first diagnosed, but pulled through and eventually improved. We've been living with it for over two years now and fortunately he hasn't been that sick again since then. In his case it seems to manifest as opportunistic infections in his joints (elbows, wrists, and fingers so far), but it hasn't trashed his liver or kidneys or anything really vital, at least not yet and not as far as we can tell. He doesn't seem to be suffering, although his appetite and activity levels are not quite what they used to be, so we're just doing the best we can with him. He's 5 years old now too, so we're not quite sure how much is due to ADV and how much is just normal aging, although he shouldn't be geriatric yet. He's our first and only beardie, so we don't have any other experience of our own to compare him with as far as what is supposed to be "normal" (whatever that is :roll: ). You must be doing something right if you kept a beardie alive for more than 10 years. :) If Broly ate a bunch of nice greens (moisture, fiber), then that should help for a nice poop in the near future. :wink: Yes, the wrinkled skin can look scary sometimes. Someone posted a photo on here once of a beardie that was "deflated" and in a position that put some deep wrinkles along his side, and someone else thought it looked like deep scratches and maybe a cat had gotten a hold of him :shock: -- the OP had to explain that it was just wrinkles. :P [/QUOTE]
