Deformed Beardie

How long will it last?

 

[XtinaBeardieMom]

The UVB light will need to be replaced every six months. The liquid calcium should last you 6-12 months depending on how much your dragon weighs, since the dosage will be dependent on her weight. Were you able to get a gram scale? Or you can use a kitchen scale if you have one. I know that's a lot of things to acquire... you're doing a great job with her so far!!

Just ordered some Calci-Blast...and our UVB light should be here by tomorrow. :3 Hooray!

(I ordered it in banana~)

Yay!! Post more pics.

Hmmm... well, that could potentially work if your scale is accurate up to 2 decimal points lol. However, it would be a lot easier in the long run if you could get a digital gram scale. You can usually find a good one for $20-$30. I have this one & it works great >>> http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0007GAX04/ref=mp_s_a_1?pi=SL75&qid=1349058818&sr=8-1

I just fed Lyra three superworms. The owners claimed she's never eaten one, but man did she gobble those suckers up! She was asleep in the corner, I set one worm down, turned away for a second and it was gone! What a good girl.

Is three fine? Should I have given her more or less?

3 is good to start with.. you can give her 2 or 3 more today to make sure she is digesting them fine.

 

[Sonador]

Alright. I gave her two more last night, so a total of five...I hope she digests them fine.

I found a container of waxworms that I never used and gave her one of those too...is that okay?

I'll post a picture of her current setup soon.

That's good that she is eating feeders now. Wax worms are quite fatty so if she needs to put on a little wt, you could feed her a few of those. They are addicting though, like candy to humans.

yay more pictures!

I took the picture on my iPad...how do I get it from my iPad to here?

 

[lauraj1055]

make a photobucket account. www.photobucket.com upload it to there, and then click the IMG under the photo and paste it here.

(I took a much better, higher quality photo on my iPad, but I couldn't figure out a way to get the picture from my iPad...to here. :/)

It's not very expensive or naturalistic looking, but it's keeping her alive...

The rock in the corner is her backing rock. The cardboard box is her hide. The small plastic bowl is for food purposes, and the giant water bowl is empty. Lyra likes to climb in and around in...she sometimes wedges herself between the glass and the bowl...what a weirdo.

She has a heating pad, but it's not plugged in. I have a UVB light, but no bulb in it-yet. We ordered the bulb last week, so it should be here by tomorrow.

Here's the lamps:

Oh, and just for fun, here's me trying to show you how much I appreciate all your guy's help:

You're so cute

You're doing a great job.. besides being a little squiggly she is looking really good. How about a cute picture of the 2 of you together
