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:
Hope you enjoy
Deb and my six dragons

and won't be home until about 5:30p, so their lights will be on and they'll be in their tanks for the day, except Didi. He's ok to be left out for the day, as he can't really find a place to hide that I can't find him in. He'll also stay on the ramp under the Power Sun more than the others, they'll stay for an hour, then find a place to hide and get cold. Not looking forward to Saturday at all, but have to make up the time from Aug 2. Next year, no travelling, so will have all my vacation days to myself!
