Hello all,
We recently determined our 1 yr old dragon, Salsa, is male and not female (by performing the sexing ritual of tail lifting). He is head bobbing/black bearding like mad, and especially if he ever catches a glimpse of our older female dragon, Electra.
Tonight he started pacing around the cage and running back and forth, bobbing all the while. I"m guessing this is normal spring-time male behavior, but wanted to make sure. I took him out and let him run around. He put his black beard away and stopped bobbing, and seemed to tire himself out and curled up in a corner to rest.
the only thing that concerns me is that he hasn't eaten very much the last few days....Is this normal?
Any insight from more experienced owners would be greatly appreciated!
Best wishes, J
