Here is my crew. PICTURES!.

[TheAnthropologist]

Your pictures are always great. I'm so sorry to hear about your dog Syd. I know how hard it is to lose an animal. My dog Mandi past away last year at age 16. Even though we knew she would pass soon due to her age and health it was still very hard when it happened. My heart goes out to you and your family.
On a lighter note, Hudson is just too cute for words. We got Coco about a month after Mandi passed away. She has definitely filled that hole in our hearts that Mandi left. Sometimes a funny loveable little puppy is the only thing that can. Great to see you back on here again and get updated on your crew.

Thanks about Sydney and Hudsie (yes, thats his nicname lol ). I have to agree, new puppies definitely help keep your minds off of it and fill a hole :wink: Sorry about Mandi

Aw, what cute photos! I love the picture of Oscar up close and personal! LOL. And your furry critters are sooo cute! And I'm so sorry about your dog. I know how you feel, we lost our dog, Molly who was 13 or 14 this year. She had all sorts of problems and needed help getting up, and one day she had a seizure and was gone.. Its comforting to know they're not sick anymore though. And the Lily picture, she is precious! Just sitting there like 'I didn't Do Anything!'

Thanks about Oscar, his appetite has dramatically increased recently which I am really happy about and he is gaining weight Lets just hope that it stays that way. Can't wait for summer and when I can take him out in the floaty in the pool (its saltwater and beardie safe). And yes, Lily gets into the WORST shannanigans. The last time I was at home, she swiped my text-book off the table and nearly took off outside with it. Another time, she lost her ball (she's addicted) in a mudhole...her solution you may ask, sticking her face all the way inside the mudhole until she located her said ball. Needless to say, she had to have about three baths to get out of that one :roll: I have a picture of it, ill have to upload sometime ahaha. I should also point out that Dexter and Lily have now met and when Dexter has baths, Lily loves to watch. Sorry about Molly too

I don't know how I missed this thread for so long!

I love all these pictures! :mrgreen:

Thanks!! Nice uro! I love them, ive always wanted one but held off because I felt they were too much like beardies, but they are so beautiful. Those nigerians, wow! And the orientals and egyptians are nice too.

Okay here is another update My crew is doing well, and all have done the move back home to the mainland because university is done for the summer.

Here are some pics

Hadrian is quite a studious beardie....

Oscar met Lily and Hudson. Both of them are soooo good with my beardies

Hudson: "Hmmm...what is this?"

Hudson: " I must investigate"
Oscar:"uhhh...get away from me...you furry monster!"

Lily: What is so interesting?

Lily: hmm this seems a little boring
Oscar: Thank God! The big furry mutts need to leave me alone!

Snuggling with two dogs and a beardie

Those are just some, I have more that I will upload later

And one pic of Hudson

 

[tazznzeppelin]

Wow! Hadrian's eyes looked really red in those pics. Dexter was very determined to meet the chickens. I love the shots of him by the pond. And little Hudson is soooo cute. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks very much. Yes he does have nice eyes, except he is blind in one of them But he gets by . Oscar's are kind of purple and Dexter's are really hazel.

Wow those are really nice pics...

Thanks

When I am off from work tomm I will see if I can get some shots of Daenerys and Oscar (LJ was renamed because she had been my bros and I never liked that name. Since she is mine now i felt I could give her a name I liked haha) because they feel left out that they didn't get to go outside ( i didn't have enough time for all four and the weather has not been allowing it to happen either ) . I'll also try to get some shots of my crestie tank and maybe a shot of my leopard gecko too

class pictures, your pets are an absolute credit to you!!

 

[emmybear]

Just joined and saw all your pics! Beautiful pics and beautiful animals!!

 

[TheAnthropologist]

thanks everyone for the compliments! I am moving my leo into a 20 galleon tomm which will be pretty cool. I also made a cool basking spot for Hadrian that looks alright using grout etc. It just has some finishing touches that has to be added to it. The weather here has also been crappy so I have not had a chance to take Oscar and Daenerys outside for the some pics but maybe will have to do some indoor shots.


Again, thanks everyone for the compliments!

 

[TheAnthropologist]

Well, sorry I have not updated in a little while.

Oscar is not doing well. I believe he has parasites. His eyes have gone sunken, his tail has shrunk and he is very lethargic.

My care plan for him is as follows:

1) Panacur- o.1 ml once a week
2) Baby food: chicken and squash (the daily staple kind) mixed with calcium D3 added and off days; Herpivite
3) Baths 1x a day but I am now upping it to 2x a day
4) As of today; complete darkness from 8pm-8am. I covered his viv


He eats the baby food and before was drinking the water but now is not. He goes to the bathroom daily.

A few q's: does anyone know how long it takes for the panacur to take affect?
Most people say use probiotic? When should I start this. Can I buy any from the safeway? I am in Victoria (an island and I cannot order any/no vet here)

If ANYONE has any advice please let me know! I will change any care that I am able to so that I can fit his needs.

Oscar died.

I am now worried about cotagion. If I washed my hands and did not have him in contact with other dragons, does that reduce the chance of contagion if they are in seperate tanks. I just moved so I cleaned oscar's tank with any cleaner I had; Mr.Clean Disinfectent, OxyClean Petcleaner and, ashamed to say it, toilet cleaner. Obviously i have not put this stuff in my living dragons tanks.


I am also worried that when I moved I switched the bowels up and accidently put oscars bowel in another dragons tank.....

Anyone now if hands are watched and beardies are in diff tanks this decreases chance of cotagion?

 

[beardie parents]

I'm sorry to hear about Oscar, I know how much it hurts to loose them. We lost 5 since August of 06. As far as your other questions, I don't have much answers for you. Your question about the bowl, the only thing I can suggest is get another bowl until you can sanitize them, or maybe bake them in an oven for awhile. Hopefully that will help.

 

[TheAnthropologist]

I handwashed the dishes with dishsoap and then I am going to wash the bowls in the dishwasher (they are ceramic).

 

[tazznzeppelin]

I am so sorry to hear about Oscar. I know how much you loved him. My heart really goes out to you. As for the contagion questions, I'm not really sure to say because you don't know exactly what Oscar had. Just be as careful as you can with the others coming in contact with anything he touched. Hopefully everyone else will be fine. You said you can't order anything to that island? No mail service at all? That's so wierd. I order
supplies from beardeddragon.co they have a disinfectant cleaner there, I would use that if you can get it.
Hang in there, you have to with so many other happy little faces that greet you every morning.
