I call forth Alucard

As you all know, Vash passed away..so sad.
But now I got a new guy, I will send pics
here not on another thread...he's very
stressed being shipped from Florida...I
got one before he wanted to hide.

I put some cocoa butter on and I was nervous
that he stays under the che, I moved him away
a bit so he can stay warm but not get burned
if that can happen. He moved right back over
and fell asleep. I woke up and went to see
and he's fine no burn. I did crickets which he
ate 29 of those, surprising enough he did that.
I dusted the crix, lunch he had 22 pheonix and dinner
dragon bites and mini supers (22). Lunch and dinner
are never dusted unless I get lazy during his breakfast.
I was on my skateboard alone, skating and a group of
17 year olds came over (like 6 boys) and asked if I could
skate with them...I was hesitant because I'm 27 and
hanging with teens is dangerous unless you're the
parents or grandparents or guardian. I decided I did
and it was just innocent skating no one developed
feelings for anyone. Tom came out and at that moment
one of the boys was Tom's brother, Peter and I then
found myself with Peter and his friends so I didn't
feel so awkward just skating with them. It was fun
even though I'm not a teen anymore. Tom is 25 years old
so I'm older LOL. Anyway, that's about it for today.

I'm glad you had fun skating!

 

[BlueDragon09]

I'm home, I left early...so Alucard and I are home, Tom
is spending the day, leaving at 4pm to get home. Peter
came too with his skateboard and 2 of his friends the other
4 are busy being lazy on Sunday LOL. So Peter, Kai we call
him K, Jon and I went skating down to the skatepark and
a cop stops us to ask us something, Kai being a rude smart mouth, Peter wishes he wasn't like this. He got in trouble
with the cop but be skated away and we were left
answering the question. We answered politely and he just
let Kai go, didn't even care since we asked if he could let him go, he agreed, told us to warn him. So we warned Kai
not to do that again. I'm never mean to the law.

Alucard ate some squash and worms ( I have five cans) with
calcium. He will get a bath and lunch after that. He hadn't
pooped yesterday, but did on Friday November 7th so not
impacted.

Hi Blue, sounds like you had a good time skating with your friends. Glad it all worked out with Kai and that the cops let him go with just a warning. Yes, good idea respecting law enforcement.

Sounds like Alucard is doing very well. How's his shed coming along, does it seem like the cocoa butter stick is helping?

 

[BlueDragon09]

It's working well, some came off. I took a fecal in on
Thursday morning, so we'll find out results probably
Tuesday. i know Alucard is healthy but if the fecal
says he's sick inside then we'll catch it early. I'm
gonna put more cocoa on his nose tonight when the
che turns on. Tom brought his bearded drsgon over,
he's 1 year old, named Zim from Invader Zim. We know
cohabitation is bad so Zim has his own cage with lights.
Zim has a cage for here and home with the lights. So
he has two cages with two sets of lights. Alucard had a tank
with lights at Tom's house too. Peter has 2 snakes, 14 leopard geckos and one hedgehog as a pet, he's got a
license just in case he needs one for the hedgehog.
Zim did battle YF when he was 10 months, he's been
clean ever since. Zim is in brumation so he sleeps in
the hammock with a blanket. Alucard doesn't do that
yet. He just watches Zim from the other side of my room.

 

[sweetiepie9]

I'm glad to hear that Zim is free of YF but it may come back, so make sure Tom checks him every day. And Alucard has a place at both homes? Well, they both do, that's awesome! I'm glad things are looking up for you, sounds like Tom is a great person.

 

[BlueDragon09]

Yeah they both do, we both have pet carriers with warm towels from the dryer seperate pet carriers. Not a day goes by that he doesn't check on Zim. Tom got him from a man who had him in terrible conditions. Sand, poop everywhere, dead crickets all around. No uvb or any basking lights...left Zim cold every day. He was very angry to see Zim like this
but he was polite to the man. Had Zim since he was 9 1/2
months old and didn't notice the YF till he saw it getting
dark ran out to the vet and it was just the skin, so witch
hazel and bedatine baths. Zim got better within 4 months..
Zim was very hungry all the time with his previous owner,
Zim also hated people. He bites and scratches and tail whipped Tom. His previous owner must've either abused
him or never handled him, I don't know the whole story. Fast forward, 1 year later, Zim loves to be handled, healthy
no return of YF yet hoping never but he knows what to do
if he contracts it again, on tiles, uvb changed every 6 months also has a basking light. Zim does have lung problems, they're not healthy but he is breathing ok just
if he gets URI or pnuemonia he could actually die since his
lungs are weak, both of them are. Tom knows that if he
ever gets those illnesses he won't make it to the vet, he'll
die on the way. His previous owner let his lungs get the way
since the living conditions were just terrible. Sorry to rant about Zim but I thought you should know that he's in better hands than before. Tom rescued Zim from an awful environment.

 

[BlueDragon09]

Zim is still YF free. Fed Alucard remains of the pet
store crickets, he's 11 weeks and some of the crix
they give us are babies mixed with semi huge ones.
So do you all think I can go with just medium? I hadn't
fully switched him to medium it was half and half.
Yet he can still wolf the mediums. Ate 18 of the
pinheads, 6 mediums. He still got his daily, one
calcium dusted feeding. He acts like a gaurd dog
when it comes to me and my room. He wants no one
near me or my room. No one takes him serious because
he's small and it looks cute to see him hiss. He's doing fine
and going to order pheonix worms. My scissortails were
beating my guppy to death so one died and have one guppy left with them...I think maybe had a fight with the guppy.
I get butthead fish...-_-; I'm also going to get some buddies
for my guppy. Soon a female betta, got a name for her...Champaign or something or Sparkling Syder I don't know what do you all think? Or I'd like to hear your ideas if
you have some.

I just learned that my mom is making us all go christmas
shopping if we want gifts plus a Hobbit movie that's like
3 hours long. We'll be in Eugene that's 2 hours away from
home and Alucard cannot go or get fed 3 times a day, I will be back in the evening hours, nobody will be here to do
this for him...I'll be giving breakfast and dinner (even if
late dinner) I'm worried about his lunch, as I said, no one
will be around. So my question is could he go one day without food if he doesnt wanna eat what I put in? I mean
I'm sure he will be great with the crickets. It's just lunch
I cannot give, Tom works so that won't work. This is on December 17th. I need some suggestions of what I can do,
I mean I won't be here as well as anyone else. So could he
skip a meal or a day if he's being picky about food besides crickets? Like I said I explained that I need to be here but she said "I want a family event together and you're coming, he'll be ok for one day, if he doesn't want to eat then he will wait till we come home".

 

[Mushupork]

I'm sure he'll be just fine for a few hours. Maybe just give him some extra at dinner if he'll eat them. He's adorable by the way. Alucard... Is the name from something?

Oh by the way, this is Jessie (noelerhard) I had Rogue a while back. I'm really sorry to hear about Vash. He was getting pretty old right? I lost Rogue last year, looks like we both have a new baby to catter to Although you seem to be having much better luck than me. Money problems are kicking my cricket supply in the butt.

Nice to talk to you again BlueDragon!

 

[MamaTater]

OH! That little itty bitty is just darling! Quite beautiful! :mrgreen:

 

[BlueDragon09]

Thanks Jessie, I wasn't sure if I could leave him without lunch. I wanna help you so bad because my luck is not
too much better, mom lost my bank card. It's found but
she reported it lost so I'm without spendable money for
the time being. I use my card a lot. Yes, his name came
from an anime called Hellsing, my brother named him since
Vash was so sudden. Vash was 10 years old when he passed
away.

Thank you, Mamatater! He is, isn't he?

I started him on hornworms and as usual, eats it right
up! He won't get another for a while, it was 1 and wanted
to try it. He ate some pheonix for breakfast (dusted), crickets and turkey baby food for lunch and he will have
mini supers gonna try 14 and if he eats them I will add more. I always put enough in, he just needs to eat.

 

[BlueDragon09]

I went to the same dr that diagnosed my Asperger's, she
now states I have Obsession Compulsive Disorder too.
I'm also always checking on my fish a lot and few times
at night, check to see if the CHE works numerous times.
Doors and windows locked and lights off. Clean the cat
boxes like it's a religion ( 8 times a week) I hate to see it
dirty. I've calmed down on the cat box cleaning so much.
I clean it every 3-4 days. I can't sleep passed 10 because
I want to feed Alucard, my cat and my lone gerbil. My
eel gets fed at 9pm at night my fish are fed in the am
hours. I've been crazy with bug feeders that if I can't
get any I get anxiety. I never told you guys about OCD
I hate the heck out of it!!! I learned to live with Asperger's.
Now with OCD too!!! I do wash my hands after washing dishes and touching any animals even after dealing with water changing the fish tanks. This is new found out today about OCD. Alucard eats fine he had his calcium and greens this morning and chicken baby food apples and pheonix slurry for lunch. Pooped in his bath so he's getting good at being potty trained. Now that he's 11 weeks I call it 2 months, I may be wrong. I just know 4 weeks in months sometimes 5 weeks.

 

[MamaTater]

This is a really neat thread to read!
I <3 cocoa butter sticks.
I HEART Invader Zim!
I used to skateboard. It was so much fun...even the falling part and the bleeding.
I also do the OCD thing. I enjoy cleaning the litterbox 2-3 times each day.
There were a few other things I wanted to mention but forgot them...
Oh yeah, blankets! I'm SO gonna make my 3 dears blankies! What sorts of fabric do you suggest?
Please, continue. I'm loving it!

 

[BlueDragon09]

Back when I had blankets for my 10 year old before he passed away. I use flannel fabric for blankets, your beardies will love it, my old man beardie did. I'm taking care of Zim
because Tom is away on business in Florida and his younger
brother is busy with school and own reptiles. Tom will be
back on November 17th, so Zim is mine till then. I still skateboard and watch Invader Zim, it's on Nicktoons channel. I don't let Alucard near Zim because his past of Yellow Fungus, but they interact behind their tanks. Zim would head bob and Alucard would beard at him. Thank you, I try to make the thread neat.
