PUMPKIN IS HERE ! 🧡🎃

[Pumpkinmaple]

I'm so happy he's here! he's so gorgeous. My phone camera does not pick up how bright or how beautiful he actually is at all but the pictures i got are still so cute. He ate a piece of his salad from my hand :>

Yay !! She looks fantastic, how was she when you got her out of the box ?

He's so much prettier in person !! His colors and markings are amazing. He was really calm, didn't run away or anything just sat and examined everything. When i picked him up out of the box to place him into a warmer spot of the enclosure he got all snug in my palm

That's good, I'm glad that your wait is over. Now you'll be staring at him until night comes. What do you have as far as insects go, did you get a supply of goodies ? Of course he doesn't need to eat much today but you can offer him a couple of bugs or some greens.

I have 75 dubia roaches and 100 BFL. I plan on getting him maybe two more types of bugs once my next paycheck comes in so then he'll have more variety. I offered both dusted in multiviamin & calcium d3, he ate a piece of his salad from my hand ! The greens i got him are collard greens, curly kale, endive, and also some rainbow swiss chard & strawberries for occasional treats.

Variety is good and veggies will add lots of extra nutrients. Swiss chard is not as good as the others so it's O.K to leave that out. Fruits can be bad for their teeth so very rarely offer . To your greens you can add turnip + mustards as well. Grated zucchini now + then as well as other squash if you have it. Not too heavy on the calcium dusting. What size are the dubias ? People tend to over feed their dragons, many on the forums are overweight and it ends up they spend lots of money to have fat and potentially unhealthy dragons.

This is helpful thank you! I'll just make salads for myself with the swiss chard haha. I'll also give the strawberries I chopped up to my pet snails. Nothing wasted that way. I'll get turnip & mustard greens also when I have the chance and maybe zucchini and squash as well. I got the 3/4" dubias and the small BFL from dubia.com I know you don't need to dust BFL because they already have a lot of calcium. I've learned about people overfeeding their dragons so i'll be sure to watch over how much i feed him. I also have a scale i can measure his weight with

 

[AHBD]

Sounds good, you can get the large bsfl next time for Pumpkin, he's big enough. And yes you'll get the hang of feeding him, it's not difficult at all other than they can be a bit picky at times.

Welcome, Pumpkin I see the little guy is shedding right now - reminds me of when my Taco was so little that he was shedding more or less all the time

He ate a piece of his salad from my hand :>

I'd guess he was already very hungry - so, great first bonding experience
