Hello Everyone,
My last little girl passed away a few months ago due to liver complications. I feel ready for another, but this time I'm going to rescue from craigslist rather than getting a baby from a petshop. I found a 9-month-old dragon in need of a home, but he's a leatherback. I've heard they have a few different care requirements. Does anyone have any experience here?
Hi there, I've raised many of them from the egg. There is no difference in their care at all. Only silkbacks , which have no scales but only soft skin, require slightly lower temps. and need to have aloe or other suitable lotion applied to their skin sometimes.
Hello! I have a leatherback, and no special or extra care is needed. As mentioned by AHBD, only 'silkies' (leatherback x leatherback) need a different care level.
