Hey everyone, my name is Elisa. My bf and I just got our first dragon Friday 4 April. We named him Tang. We got him from dragonzwhispers.com. He was born on 20 Dec 2007 and is 13 7/8" long. We were so excited to get him! :D I have been wanting and researching to get one for over a year & a half. We are both cops in the Air Force. While I was deployed to Saudi Arabia for 6 months I read every website I could and ordered 9 books on dragons. I had some knowledge on keeping them, having had 3 iguanas before I joined the Air Force. I wanted to get another iguana but being in the military it would be harder to go from base to base with a cage big enough to house a full size iguana. So I decided to get a dragon, and I already like them more! Tang is so laid back, he's a little brat though. Very cute. He loves crickets and devours his greens and veggies. He's such a good boy.

Here are a couple pics the breeder sent:

I took this after he got home. He isnt as bright in my pictures due to the fact the breeder uses a Mega-Ray bulb. I already have one on its way.

I will be getting a 5' x 2' x 2' cage from showcasecages.com within a week. This is what it looks like, but it's going to be a sandstone color.

Here is the basking platform we made out of styrofoam, tile grout and stone paint. It will go on the left side under the Mega-Ray once we get them.

Well I look forward to chatting with everyone!

Elisa, Rob & Tang

Hi & welcome.

He is a beautiful little boy. His colors may not be as bright as the pictures due to relocation stress. It also looks like he may be at the begging of a shed, their color tend to dull at during sheds.

Good luck with him, let us know if you have any questions.

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.
