We never expected to get another dragon, but our neighbours next door wanted to give away Cleo, as he was called. We'd babysat him before, he's such a sweetheart. We nicknamed him Velcro because when he snuggles he never wants to go back to his viv, he hangs on as if he's made out of velcro.

So here he is. Today was his first day with us. He ate 13 supers and ate some squash, not bad for the first day he was here. He's only in a 30 gallon tank, which will be ok for now. He's 18" long but weighs only 200g. We figure he's probably 2 yrs old. Our neighbours rescued him last fall, they found him and a female (which they named Puff) on Craig's list. They were in a 30 gallon dirty tank, with sand and a huge log that took up 1/2 the space in the tank. Leo was at the bottom, he was sooooo skinny. He's gained weight, but never got the attention he deserved. I took some pics today, but will take more tomorrow. I think he remembers our place as didn't get stressed as I expected. No stress marks at all. When we let him run around the living room, he noticed our girls and immediate black beard, so his hormones are working!

He had a bath this morning, had a big poop, no smell, so not worried about parasites.

So here are a few pics, he's a yellow & dark gray, light gray colour.

Under the communal power sun in the living room:

Discovering there are girls in those tanks up above, he has a great black beard for such a skinny boy:

On the couch, he's got a pretty diamond pattern on his back:

Good luck with the greens you know about Noodle and greens :roll:. Anyway well today I made her another salad collard greens, cilantro, and acorn squash. I put it in her tank moved her from the basking spot and put her in front of the bowl and left her. I came back in to get on my computer and I hear munching behind me. She is watching to make sure I'm not watching but she's eating her greens. :blob8: :blob5:

yeah but I just don't get it. We can watch them eat crickets but when it comes to salad oh no turn the other corner or they won't eat. I guess they want us to believe they are mean dragons that are only carnivores and they don't eat plants.

Zy and Jace could care less if I watch them eat. Especially Zy, but Jace is on a hunger strike and has been acting weird so I posted something in health about him.

Wow, if 230g is skinny on Titan who is 15.5" then I am not feeding Zy nearly enough. Poor girl.

Can't wait for some more pictures!

Rogue never used to care if I watch her eat. Now, when she is eating she wont go near the bowl with me in the room.

They're just so funny. So Liz, you mean he's a good weight, but he's also 4 mo older than Zy, so I think she's doing much better than Titan. I'll have to check her last weights and lengths. At Titan's age, he should be almost full length, like 18" and at least over 300g, so we're getting there! At least he's full of energy and since I have today and tomorrow off, took vacation as have chiro today and doc apt tomorrow, I'll have lots more time with them.

She's bigger than Titan would have been at her age, he's almost 9 mo old as far as I can figure, but could be 8 mo old. But I did measure him today and he's 16" long now, so he's grown an inch since I brought him home! Here are some pics I took:

I can never seem to get his colours right on the camera, he's brighter than this, but he was relaxing so thought I'd see how they came out:

Ooops, worm in the wrong place, :lol: he did eat a couple of medium sized supers today, too.


The big black beard, how ferocious :lol:


Belly shot & better colours, too:

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
