Sorry that Smaug didn't make it. I think you did the right thing not telling your son. Why ruin his birthday. I sure hope all goes well with the new little one.
sorry about smaug 1 and I am happy to hear that smaug 2 is doing good. I noticed that you got the mega-ray MVB bulb which is a great bulb! Just make sure that you DO NOT give him D3 anymore. That bulbs provides all the D3 that is needed and by giving him more D3 via gut loading/dusting can cause a D3 overdose.
Hi...I am glad you were able to replace Smaug without having to tell your son.
How close do you have your MVB to him? It needs to be 12" from him. You might want to soak him daily for awhile.
Good luck

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!
