ok so My cousin had a friend that got a BD about 7 months ago and it was only about 4 1/2 in long head to tail tip. He is about 8 months old or so and is still not 5 in long. The people that had him were feeding him 5-10 crickets a WEEK and were letting the salad dry out claiming that he would only eat them dried out. He has not had a UV in 5 months and I'm not sure that his tank has ever been at the right temps. I have been trying to get her to give him to me since she she pretty much got him and finally she gave him to me last night. She was only feeding him broccoli and kiwi (he is green from it?) Yes he is green kinda looks like algae on him. I told her 4 weeks ago to stop feeding him that because I didn't know she was feeding him that. I guess it had been going on for a while. He has only had 3 baths in his life. HELP
Right now I have him in a 10gal with what ever heat light she sent with him I will be ordering new lights for all of my BD's today so he will be getting the right light soon. I have some Repti-aid and some baby food that I'm going to try to feed him the next week or so. He has never had vitamins or calcium so he will get that for the first time today. He seems to be alert for the most part. I am not handing him any more than I need to bc he is very stressed and dark. I will post some pics later today I'm trying to clean a new tank for him he will be going into a 40 gal.
He is super cute I hope he can pull threw this. Does anyone have anything else I can try to help him grow? Or know why he is green? I think it is from the broccoli and kiwi? I have not seen any poo the girl that had him said he only goes once a week
As I'm sitting here typing he is gaping and she said that she had never seen him do it. So that makes me feel good
