Just want to make sure everythings right.

also thanks JLean for the quick responses and actually responding to the OP in just a few minutes.

i'm quite content that i've joined these forums now because of such insightful, quick responses.

also, would you be able to explain why he was waving at me twice this morning?

 

[LJean]

Hee hee.. arm waving is a natural response. I hadn't seen it in person until I got Calypso. Are you sure he is a boy? My boy doesn't arm wave, only my girl. It is kind of a "Hey there, don't eat me" response.

More members will respond to your posts too. There are different time zones etc. I just happen to be avoiding housework today.

well the guy at the pet store said he might be a boy, i'm waiting til he gets older to be sure so i can see the width of his tail base to determine

I missed the last one.
Many babies are not interested in their greens and veggies at first. It can take months to get them to eat it. I put the crickets in a quart size freezer baggie and put some calcium dust or vitamins in there with them. Gently shake them up and they are loaded with the dust. So if he isn't eating his greens, he still gets the supplements.

Also remember, what you feed the crickets you are feeding the dragon. A good way to get some veggies into the baby is by feeding some to the crickets before hand.

Hope that helps.

It is very difficult to tell when they are that small unless someone is very used to it.
Here is a link to show you how to look. Even has pictures. You may need to wait a month or so to tell. I thought Calypso looked like a boy, then she got a bit older, LOL

alright, well i bought my crickets from a store that specializes in reptiles. do you know where i can find a good multivitamin for him for like max 10 bux CAD?

 

[LJean]

Where do you live? I know I didn't spend that much on vitamins and they last a long time.
Like here is a link to them on amazon.com
