Wow she sounds pretty irresponsible. Babies are growing every single day, and if they are not getting proper calcium and exposure to UVB, then they will develop a spinal deformity, most likely a lump or hump in their backs between their shoulders and neck.
Every day she doesn't have UVB, she's at risk for deformities. Pretty alarming that your friend has this attitude of not wanting to do things properly.
Tell me about it. I ordered the Reptisun 10.0 and Hood for her beardie today, so it should be coming either Tuesday or Wednesday. Told her in the mean time to take it outside.
Wow, you're a really good friend to do all that for her. I hope learning responsibility for her won't end up costing neglect in her pets. You two should certainly have "play dates" with your beardies haha. You can do it safely without actually letting them have contact, providing the interaction isnt too stressful for either. Perhaps when they are closer to the same size. I know I wish I had friends who like reptiles! Poor Sierra hasn't seen another dragon since I got her. >_<
Yea she tells me all the time. I brought my Reptisun over to her house today so her beardie can bask in the light and survive for a lil. She tried to take her beardie outside, but it ended up running in a tire. Fortunately the car wasn't moving and he didn't climb it up, so she got him out in time. I plan on taking my beardie over to her house when hers gets big enough. But that won't be for a few months to a year lol.
