I got him from a pet store, so I don't know his true age. I bought him on March 4, he was 7 3/8 inches, so I guessed 8 weeks. If that was right, he would have been 5 months 3 weeks tomorrow. He grew consistently 3/4-1 inches a week since I got him. Since he got so big, so fast, I wonder if he wasn't older, or a german giant.
This is only the 2nd day he's ever been alone for more than an hour or two since I got him. I'm a SAHM and I play the viola. I signed up for this chamber music program that runs for 2 weeks in the summer. It started yesterday.
I have 2 other dragons, but, I hate to say it, but I haven't bonded with them as much. They're much smaller, and wilder. I'm not able to handle them as much before they decide it's time to run off and explore. Sokar managed to get a special place in my heart. I fell in love with him the moment I picked him. He was so tame and craved attention. He would sit on anyone's shoulder all day, even strangers, children. If my boys, or nieces wanted to hold one of my dragons, he's the one I handed them. He didn't care. As long as you didn't move too fast, you can do anything. I even used to practice my music with him sitting on my shoulder. I think my middle baby knew. She was sleeping right next to the divider in my tank, just opposite of where Sokar died. She never goes over there except to eat. Hubby thought she was dead too at first.
the only thing that ever caused him stress was storms and being outside. We just started making progress with outside. I didn't take him out as much as I would have liked. We get uncomfortably high humidity here. Last time I took him out, he finally felt brave enough to move off my lap into the grass. We've had a lot of bad thunderstorms this week, 2 with tornado warnings. The lights were flickering when my husband came home from work. He was trying to hurry up and get our megarays off when he noticed Sokar wasn't moving. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
Crap, I just seen a lightning bug in my house
