*****Mr. Draper & Ms. Scarlett***(Updated 6/29)***

Draper is our new addition to the family. He's about 12 weeks old, and just hit 10" long. At first he wasn't eating much (got him 2 weeks ago). But now he's doing great! Phoenix worms are his favorite!

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=169590 <--- a thread I started about Draper a couple of days after we got him....we were worried and just wanted the best care for him. Thanks for all the help! We're still trying to get him to eat more fruit and veg...

Here are some new pics of Draper.

Every night at around 8:30, Draper gets very sleepy. He loves his blanket.

He likes to show off his colors when he's out of the cage.

Basking in the morning, he seems to get really dark.

Awww, he's stretching out his beard, it's so cute when they do that.

Draper is up to 300g and almost 18" long!

He's doing really well the past few days. His appetite was down for quite a while, but he seems much better!

Baker and Draper are becoming pretty good friends.

Awww that was a great picture, isn't it great that your cat likes Mr Draper enough that they can be together? I think it's just super. And he sure is getting bigger!

Draper is doing awesome lately. He looks great and feels great, no more stomach issues. We added a few pieces of furniture to his viv.

Draper, hanging out, enjoying the view.

One happy dragon.

Well done Draper & you, too!

Looks like the coccidia is back! *SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!*

He's 9 month old, and has coccidia 5 times now. Loose stinky poop again.

Gave him a dose of Toltrazuril last night.

How's Mr Draper doing? Hope you all had a good holiday!

Hi! Thank for posting sweetiepie!

Draper is doing pretty good. He's had no signs of parasites for a long time now, maybe right around dec 1st was his last loose poop. The Toltrazuril cleared him right up!

He started brumating...on and off...He slept for about 10 days, then woke up, slept for another week...

Now he's been up and doing his normal routine for the past 10-12 days or so, but he hasn't been eating much. He'll have some greens daily, but not alot, and he'll have 2-3 large roaches every other day or so. He's pooping every 2-3 days now. He's also started drinking his bath water more often than not.

We're still giving him acidpholiz+ every night.

The winter slow down drives us all crazy. Rubio, my biggest dragon, just woke up yesterday from sleeping for over 2 months. He got up today, too, but I don't know if he'll eat anything. Didi, my little yellow/orange dragons is like Draper, up and down for the last two months, he opened his eyes this morning so I put his lights on, but he's 1/2 asleep still. Lonzo, my 10 yr old, has been up every day, but I have to hand feed him for him to eat anything, Leo and Gabriel are the same, hand feeding or no food. So it's hand feeding for me; my hubby, who passed away in June/11, hand fed them every day, so once you start that they won't eat on their own, so I got stuck doing it all and now have a schedule that I follow when I have to get to work in the am. When I'm off, like now, it's great, have lots of time, when I have to work it's on a bit tighter schedule!

He'll be fine, spring is just around the corner and he'll make up for lost time!

Draper is doing great! He finally hit 400g today!

Baker gets so jealous of the dragon, he always tries to lay down on Draper.

Here's one of him sleeping on his branch.

 

[sweetiepie9]

He is doing well and the pics are great. Love the one sleeping on his branch and the first especially with his head held high, like "look at my, I'm adorable and the king of my house".

Draper was a head bobbin fool yesterday! This is the first time I've seen him do this. It was pretty awesome! It looked like he was telling the cats to back-off and get out of his yard!

 

[sweetiepie9]

So adolesence has finally caught up with him :lol: Well expect more, spring fever is just around the corner :lol: I have 5 head bobbing fools in my house and when they get started it's quite the show :mrgreen:

I bet!

Draper is still a bit lazy, but has been reacting well to the added sunlight. We can't wait until it's warm!
