Hello everyone,
I just adopted my first dragon. I built his enclosure myself. I have had "Cheech" for 3 days and my first observation is that I haven't noticed him poop in his cage yet. After quite a bit of reading, I have read many contradicting posts that are offering advice.
I gave him his first bath and hoped he would poop. He just seemed to enjoy the water. He didn't swim hardly at all but did drink a little. He seemed to like the temp of the water and sort of flattened out and closed his eyes for a while. After about 15 minutes I returned him to his cage.
So far he has eaten mealworms. He hasn't touched the mustard greens that I put in a dish on the other side of his cage.
My MAIN concern now is that he is showing small round spots on his hind legs that weren't present when I purchased him. I have also noticed that something seems to be protruding from his reproductive area. Check out the photos and lend me some advice.
THANK YOU!!
