We were honestly so worried that she wouldn't make it. Her brother Leo had a deformed nostril which causes difficulty breathing so he gates a lot (we originally thought he was hissing lol). After a vet check we found out he is fine (just "smiles" a lot) and Osiris is blind, but strong. The vet believes that it could be a case of inbreeding. While it will be more work that normal, I am determined to give all these little guys the best life possibleIts so great yall are helping Osiris they way she should be helped!! Makes me happy and theyre all such beautiful babies!!
Welcome---- are they all in separate tanks? You will need to get them in those real soon if not -- if you need to go over your tank husbandry and need help please ask --- I can say NO coils for UVB's --- we have 3 on here we recommend so if you need them please ask --We were honestly so worried that she wouldn't make it.

They are all in separate tanks. Levi, Leo and baha have 50 gal tanks while Osiris is in a 12"x12"x12" due to her condition. She will be going into a 25 gal once she is doing a little better. The coil uvb is the only one our pet store had, but we did order new bulbs that should be here by Tuesday. Attached is the picture of what we ordered. Do you think this will work for her?Welcome---- are they all in separate tanks?

No please send that back - she needs a bigger tank- for optimal basking temps and easier to control I would put her in a 40 gallon- she is the one that is blind correct? We can see if I am correct w/ that tank size for her - they all need long tube fixtures - eventually your going to haft to upgrade to 120 gallon tanks for the other two - so I would recommend a 24" Zoo Med for Osiris you can use the bulb that comes w/ that fixture for now and if the 40 gallon is good for her you can then change that bulb out to a 22" Reptisun 10.0 bulb- the dragons will not do well under coil UVB's at all --- they are inadequate - I am going to flag your post to two people on here that can better deal w/ disabilities w/ dragons- I just know that your surface basking temps and UVB are crucial to dragons -- if you want recommendations for the 50 gallon tanks please ask but please do not use coilsThey are all in separate tanks.

I have 3 of these tanks for levi, Leo and baha to transition in to.

I have 3 of these tanks for levi, Leo and baha to transition in to. At that time I will be cleaning out one of the 50 gal for Osiris. I am learning so much about these little guys and it is amazing to see their health improve so nicely. They were all underweight when we got them. I really appreciate all the advice here because it is hard to get into a vet here since the nearest vet who handles exotic pets in an hour away x_x.
The links would be fantastic! Thank you!Ok that's good - if you want the links for the uvb's let me know- I will post them - repti zoo bulbs are not very good-
this is the Zoo Med I was posting about earlier - for a 50 gallon your gonna want the 22" Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulbThe links would be fantastic! Thank you!
We talked to the vet about a lot of challenges we may face with her and I really is overwhelming, but we are going to do everything we can and hope for the best! Her temperament has changed 1000% since her first successful feeding so I am hopeful!Keep up the good work ! The blind one may never grow to full size but there's no sure way to say how well it may do.
