Thank you!ToxikDragon":7d646 said:I love the dragon congradulations on your new little one. i love the colors. how was it buying the dragon online? i was always wondering how that worked. if i may ask, how much did you pay for your little one?
He looks great! So handsome. He'll calm down, I read the posts about Anthony working with him. Kaira is as sweet as can be and I'm sure with a little more time, he'll quit biting! Kaira's never tried that, but she LOVES to be held and explore (which scares me in a big room!)flinters":ce54d said:Ernesto finally came! YAY! He is amazing! Anyway I could go on forever but I have the full story and PICS here---------------->http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=86286
Ummmm...how old is your beardie? Sorry...the way they was put in typing makes it seem as though you want it to pass...it could just be a misunderstanding from "internet talk" though. I'd love Kaira just the same if she wasn't the color she is...she's my baby girlToxikDragon":b091e said:nice nice. i might have to do that. maybe when this dragon passes ill get a more expencive one online thats like blood red.
I know I feel so bad for her. I don't know if I should wait and see how it heals itself or go ahead and treat it just in case. I wouldn't want it to get infected. I know there is something specific to put on their "wounds" that is safe, but I just can't remember the name of it!Laurmann2000":9ad8a said:Oh poor baby. I don't know what you should put on it but maybe a little antibiotic cream? I hope she feels better soon. I'm not used to such slow sheds. My snake shed his full skin in one day and all in one piece. I wish the beardies did that. It would be so much easier on them. Hope she feels better soon. BTW I got my little guy from Anthony and I LOVE him. He arrived yesterday and he's just like Kaira in that he gets more stress marks in the cage than out. :shock:
amalsg07":87197 said:I have a question for anybody (Anthony??). Kaira is shedding...her tail went fine, now she's working mostly on her feet and legs. Well, she keeps rubbing on her ramp/log thing and rocks...I know this is normal, but it looks like she cut one of her back feet in the process. It's not a large cut, it's red and had a little dot of blood, in a really small spot. I know this happens, but she seems so uncomfortable (obviously) and now she's cut her foot. I've been giving her a bath more often since she started shedding her body. Is there anything else I can do to "help" her. Should I put something on the cut? Her toes are still shedding on that foot, along with the rest of her leg...that all looks fine. I know there's a few things that are safe to put on a cut like that but I can't remember what and I don't know if I should or not???
Thanks,
Abi

Yes if it worries you, you can put Neosporin on the little cut once every day... And for everyone to know you can remove the flaked skin from your dragons, just try not to force any off! If your humidity is right(40%-70%) it will just peel off like the skin of a rip peach! But most hobbiest are not confident or comfortable doing this... So your dragon will thank you if you just rub the flaking areas as the separated skin will fall off and will be less work the the dragon. (It's kind of like itching their back, just like your dog likes it when you itch them)
If you have any more questions about this just ask, but giving them frequent baths when they are shedding is the best thing you can do as it keeps their skin soft!
Anthony
