Oh she is just so funny, it is different when you have a baby from day 1 and they're healthy. I love hearing about her and her antics. It's amazing the amount of dubia that they'll eat as babies, but now that she's eating a bigger size you know that she's doing well.
Imp can't digest the heads of roaches, it's really strange, not all but some. He's still awake today, I thought for sure he'd head back into his hide, but he's sleeping on his log tonight, not even near his hide. I can't do anything with them on the weekends, which is a drag, because of the grandkids. They aren't gentle enough, even though Leo on his own does well. Here he is with Gabriel and Imp:
He calls them giant dragons and now that I see the difference in size, I understand the term. I love him dearly but it's a bit too much with both of them by myself. They're like two little tornados!
I hope the moving goes well for you, David, and I know Shiro will enjoy the balcony. I have corregated cardboard covered in blue plastic. Roger bought the stuff when we moved here in 2006 so our dragon Sweetie could have outside sunshine time on the balcony. They came in long sheets 2' wide and they still are all the partitions in the house & on the balcony. If your balcony has any stucko that would be easy for her to grab, they can climb stucco. That's how I almost lost Sweetie, she climbed the stucco wall on one side of the balcony and turned at the end of the wall and was a bit away from the balcony. I managed to grab her tail and was able to pull her back in, as we were on the 4th floor and were above the courtyard. Anyway, once the blue stuff (as I call it) was up, she couldn't climb it so couldn't get to the stucco and they've been safe outside for the 10 years I've had dragons. They really can't get their claws in it. Not sure about a baby, but none of our adults have ever been able to climb them, no matter how sharp their claws.
Listen to me going on, again. I'll be looking forward to pictures of your new home. I hope the move goes very smoothly for you and you get to sleep in your new home soon.
And yes, it's 5x per wk calcium and 2x/wk vit/min until they're 1, then it's 3x calcium and 1x vit/min. Because I give them liquid calcium, I give them calcium 2x a week. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I'm glad I gave up powders, even though I have them for my leo now. I've left her in the dark so she can catch her worm, they have useless eyesight unless in almost total darkness. I just figured that out, not that long ago, and she's eaten 2 super worms in a week. Now her 3rd is covered in vit/min and waiting for her to catch it. I'll have to check in a minute, have to change crestie food, too. So here are my geckos:
From left to right, Selene (palest), Camilla (darker); Bunny, bicoloured.
This is my leo, Miss Leona in her coconut hide, she loves it in there
I love that Shiro likes to watch you type, makes me feel as if she's reading our posts! So much like Tengu.
Please keep sending me these lovely stories of the two of you, love them!
And here's pics of Imp after combatting Ella the Elephant!
Bella sunning
Gabriel and Imp on the ramp
Gabriel after climbing up to the top of the ramp (as it is now)
Don't know if you can tell that his belly is bigger. The aneurysm still hasn't popped and I hope it takes years before it does.
Bella keeping watch over Gabriel on the ramp, you can see it's a climb now to get up it, unelss they climb with cushions LOL
