he never wants to come out of his tank. whenever i put my hand near him when he is in his tank he puffs up,backs aways, and opens his mouth alittle. when i do get him out i have to cover my hand with a kitchen towel so he doesnt make my hand bleed and i cover his head to calm him down.
Charlie is gorgeous! Did you say your dad found him living outside? He has probably been on his own so long that you are a predator for him. Poor thing. Hopefully, after you work with him more he will settle down a bit. Nice to see another adult dragon on here. I look forward to hearing some of your experiences. I just got mine from a friend and he is already full grown as well. Tons of info on how to take care of your new baby dragon but not much on adults. I love this site, I am on here 3 or 4 hrs a day right now looking through back posts on anything that seems like I should know .
My guy is completely fascinated with our Christmas tree lights. When we let him out he leaps onto one of the branches and licks all the lights LOL. They can be so funny :lol:
if charlie doent stop biting i MIGHT trade him in to get a baby bearded dragon or a prubian iguana . but i did have charlie out a few minuets ago and he only bit me once the rest of the time he took a nap on me then before i put him up he was wanting a run.
my dad got him out for me the other day but charlie was flattened out the whole time and he was wanting to run so i had his walk on my hands then he would calm down a little and then he would walk again. wednesday my dad and me bought charlie crickets and dad fed him a couple of them and charlie had been full since. i think he will eat at least one bite of his main food. there are still crickets in his cage and he isnt going after them
yay charlie didnt bite, or flatten out at all when he was out. this is the second time he didnt bite. i wonder if he is starting to tolerate coming out. i will try to get new pics next time he is out
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
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!
