Ok so I've had him nearly a year(and he was a year old last July, so he's going to be 2 soon!) and he hasn't gotten any bigger despite having excellent care. At this point I'm wondering if perhaps he's a rankins dragon hybrid? Not pure because he doesn't have the markings, but he SHOULD have grown some at least but he really hasn't at all :l
Hi there....he's not a hybrid, just stayed small for some reason. What does he eat daily ? He looks a little on the thin side, but definitely bright eyed + alert looking. Cute little bugger.
Those are pictures from when I first got him, he looks exactly the same now.
He eats as many Dubai as he wants, plus veggies he mostly ignores, and butternut squash baby food every few days as he adores it.
The temps are all good and he gets bathed weekly which he absolutely hate hate hates. I'd do it more but with the level of hate for baths and how stressed he gets I just decided weekly was fine.
Out of curiosity what's your uvb set up and calcium intake routine?
He looks healthy in color but I would agree judging by his legs he looks a little thin
His legs are a little thicker now, uvb is 8" from basking spot attached inside the tank, it's 24" long I think maybe the next size, it goes almost all the way across 40gallon breeder
Calcium given Sun/wed/friday
Just a slow grower maybe! I'm not familiar enough with different breeds to know their growth rates.
Unfortunately parasites is a possibility. What are the stools like?
They're completely normal. I wonder if maybe he's just a runt? I mean I don't know what happened his first year of life so it's possible he was so poorly kept that it's stunted his growth forever
