[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1826854, member: 89387"] I guess both plants and animals can drive their human caretakers crazy when they shut down for the winter and you don't know for sure whether they're sick, dying, dead, or just dormant. :? And it sounds like maybe some carnivorous plants drop their "traps" just like trees drop their leaves in the fall, and then grow new fresh ones in the spring. They put in a nice bike trail along our street about 15 years ago, and landscaped it real nice and planted a bunch of trees. Some of them are larch, and the first fall I thought they were dying because their "needles" changed color and dropped. :? I didn't know about larch, and I didn't know there was such a think as a deciduous conifer. What looks like needles are actually modified leaves, and they're really soft if you touch them, so they don't make it through the winter. They're beautiful trees and they've grown really tall since then, with new green every spring. Most bearded dragons will do just about anything for a hornworm. We used to get them once in a while for Puff at the place where we got most of our reptile food (out of business now). I'd bring home one or two of them and feed them to him on the same day, because otherwise they grow really big really fast. He'd look at them sort of quizzically at first -- I think the color confused him because he usually doesn't like anything green. :roll: But then when they started moving you could almost see the little light bulb go on over his head, " :idea: Oh! It's moving. It must be good to eat." Then he'd scarf it. It sounds like Kane is a little on the thin side at 24 inches. Puff is about 18" and weighs around 520 grams, and doesn't seem either too fat or too thin. That doesn't that mean Kane is not healthy though. If he's still growing he may have some filling out yet to do, especially since he's just finished brumating. Besides, bearded dragons come in all shapes and sizes, just like people. :wink: Lots of beardies seem to have tail tips that stay darker than the rest of their body or even than the front part of their tail. My husband noticed that when we first got Puff and asked the vet about it. She said it was retained shed, and sure enough, when he sheds on his tail, the front half tends to shed at a different time than the rear half down to the tip. Right now his tail is a little patchwork of half completed shed, and it's been that way for a while, but nothing seems to be getting constricted and it doesn't seem to bother him, so whatever. We're not worried about it for now. He never seems to do a full body shed all at once. Bits and pieces and mostly little patches, except his back -- sometimes that all comes off in one piece from his neck to the base of his tail, but no major shedding going on for him right now, except for the odd scales on the tail. No sun today so far -- our weather's gone cloudy again -- maybe more snow. It's a good day to "catch up" on TV or YouTube watching and beardie cuddling. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
