Jeritta's Fantastic 4

Okay I have been meaning to do this for a while now. I have never sat down and made a thread for all our babies so here it goes. I think we are stopping at 4. We'll see :?

I'll start with the oldest Gobi. She is a cuddle bunny. She loves to cuddle and loves kisses. I know there are a couple of pix on here of her giving kisses. She loves to sit on her daddy's head. There is something about all that grey hair that she just loves. She gets up there and just snuggles down and goes to sleep. She also is the neighborhood watch dragon. She watches all the cars that come and go everyday. It is really funny if a car comes in that she doesn't know she will start glass dancing. It is like she is an alarm or something that there is a stranger in the neighborhood. She has done a lot of glass dancing during Christmas. lol.
We think Gobi is gonna be a big girl when she finishes growing. We weighed and measured her yesterday. She is 8 months old now and She is 16 1/8" but she weighs 382 grams.

Next we have Amigo. He is our adventurer. When he was just 3 months old he got loose outside. We looked and looked but couldn't find him. We thought for sure we would never see him again since the weather started getting in the 30's at night. But after about 3 months a neighbor found him and brought him home. He was really cold and really skinny. We warmed him up and got him a new viv and today he is growing like a monster. When he came home it was in November and he only weighed 100 grams at 5 months old. Today he was up to 256 grams at 7 months old. So he has done well and gained well over 150 grams since coming home. He is a beautiful orange color when he is happy and shows off his colors.

Next we have little sweet Ash. Ash got off to a rough start. We found her at petco, she was on sand and was really small and skinny. she was impacted and very weak. We bathed her and syringe fed her for many many weeks just in hopes of saving her. We thought at least if she did not make it she would at least have had someone who loved her. Well as time went on she got a little stronger. Finally she began to eat a cricket here and there on her own. She would sit on our hand and never move. she is just so sweet. She still takes days where she will not eat and where she wants to only be held to eat. She is very small we think for her age especially next to our others. Ash is the quiet one she hardly ever glass dances and never gets upset. She is just very calm. She is 5 1/2 months old and is 14 1/2" and weighs 165grams.

Then there is Cadmus. He is a monster. We just got Cadmus a couple of months ago and we are still learning a lot about him. He is starting to like to cuddle more and more since he is getting a little older. He is a big boy. I think he is at least one of the biggest in his clutch. He has a pretty large tail nip but he doesn't seem to notice. He has decided lately that he is not a baby anymore. He wants to eat the big boy dubia now. He will not eat the little bitty ones. He wants to eat the big ones. He does not get the breeder size but he does like the almost grown ones. He is a very vivid orange but some yellows and cream colors are starting to show through. His hatch date is 9/10/10 so that makes him almost 4 months old. Last night he measured 9 1/8" long (with tail nip) and weigh in at 100 grams!!!

So Welcome to our zoo. We also have the 4 dogs Fancy, Doodles, Lucky and Pep. The hamsters and the fish. Then you get all the critters that run wild around here. They tend to be the really interesting ones.

Yay, Ash has ate 4 more hornworms today. She is doing great today. I can only hope this keeps up. She has even ate some more salad.

Cadmus and the rest of the crew are running and playing and carrying on. But I will be ready for spring. I hate them all going to bed so early. They are all asleep by 7:30 or 8 now and I miss them being up and cuddling.

Glad to hear Ash is doing better. I would hold off on some of the force feeding so she has a chance to be hungry..which it seems like she's doing lately! That's great she's starting to eat again! :D

How is my little (huge) Cadmus doing? I'm wondering how his personality is...I remember him as being a very sweet, calm boy and I would say he had Kora's temperament. Is he a big sweetie or more of a wanderer? It sounds like he's still eating you out of the house :wink:

Cadmus is a huge sweetie. He loves to cuddle and the first place he always goes is in my hair. He did like all the others about a week ago and knew we were going on a little vacation and something was different and decided to not eat for us or the sitter for about a week but has made up for it now. He ate 5 dubia yesterday and managed to catch himself a winged male dubia and eat it. He is getting huge. He is right at 160grams this morning and just a little over 11 inches so he would be probably 13 or maybe14 inches if he didn't have the tail missing.

Gobi wouldn't hold still but weighed a little over 430 grams the best we could tell and Amigo ran from the scales so we will have to try him again he has become such a rowdy boy and wants to run and explore all the time. He loves to kiss and hug though. Cadmus loves to climb the blinds and hang in them to look out and be nosey.

Ash hasn't ate anything this morning so I think I will put some babyfood in a bowl and offer her. Skip the feeding and see if she will eat just babyfood and not Repta-aid today. She has been eating worms so we will see how she does.
Thanks Lauren for checking on Cadmus. :D

I'm glad that Ash is starting to eat, that Reptaid is good stuff! I used it on Mojo! Did you see the deal that Mulberry Farms has right now with no shipping? I'm expecting an order today. I got 2 cups of horns 2 cups of silkworms 50 butterworms and 50 waxworms for 54.00!
I can't believe that Cadmus ate a winged male dubia! That's insane! None of my adults will touch them!

Time for a quick update on my babies.

Gobi is doing well. She is 9 months old now and is well over 400 grams. I could not get her to hold still on the scale so the best we could get was close to 430 grams. She is around 18 inches long. She is so sweet. Gobi is not the one to explore much. She is pretty content to find one place that she is happy and that is where she will stay.

Amigo is growing too. He has put back on all the weight he lost while he was lost and has gained back to where he should be. He is bright orange now and loves to show off his colors. He wants to be held all the time and thinks if he can see you then you should be holding him. Right now he is hanging on my shirt while I am typing and has his eyes closed.

Cadmus is growing like a weed. He now eats up to 7 dubia a day. (adult size) Today he ate 5 dubia and 3 hornworm (large 4") plus his salad. He is an explorer too. We weighed him last night and he weighed 185 grams and was a little over 11 1/2 inches. He will not be 5 months until 2/10/11 so I think he will make 200 grams by then.

Ash was doing so good and was starting to eat just a little on her own. She had been eating some hornworms and some salad. For the last couple of days she has stoped eating again. So we have started feeding her again and mixing her calcium and vitamins and bee pollen in the food. It pulled her through before and we are hoping it will save her again. We don't want to loose her. She is sooo sweet and so little. She is older than Cadmus and he makes her look small. He weighs more than she does. She loves to snuggle and loves for Jeff to hold her.

We can't wait for summer to get here. We have ordered a playhouse for the dragons to put in the yard when we are out there. It is a mess house made for cats but if it can hold cats it should hold a dragon. The whole thing is mess so they can get plenty of sun while they are outside. When we start using it we will post a pic of it.

:D

We did some quick weight and length updates today.
Most everyone seems to be growing pretty good. Ash is still having her problems and needs prayer from everyone who will remember her. We are struggling with her from day to day.

Gobi is now weighing 501 grams and 17" at 9 months

Amigo is weighing 329 grams and 18 1/8" at 8 months

Ash is weighing 182 grams and 14 1/4" at 7 months

Cadmus is weighing 217 grams and 11 1/4" (huge tail nip) would be more like 14" at 5 months

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
