My Roja is about 5-6 months old. She is around 8" long. I have no idea if this is an average size for her age or not?
(we refer her to as a her for no reason other than my 7 yr old daughter wants her to be a girl ).
We had some big issues, almost lost her: http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=133065&hilit=roja
Glad to say she has been doing much better since. Shed twice since August. Eating well (at times). Always eliminating well. Other than not liking her veggies and not seeming to like baths at all, she's seemed okay... but not happy and not really thriving.
She is now in a 50 gallon tank. Proper basking and cool side temps (taken with digital probes on each side). Using the Reptisun 10.
Check out the pics from August in the thread above and then look at her now:
Last week she went under a rock and wouldn't come out all day.
She usually basks most of the day.. she ate normal (which is only about 10 crickets-- doesn't seem like enough to me) morning. Poo'd normal. But then curled up in the dark for hours.
*****UPDATE******
She has been pretty black on her underside for days now. She rarely will chase crickets, only eat them if they are right in front of her. She moves around okay.. jumps down from her perch and will run away quickly and surely when I try to pick her up, but doesn't seem to want to hunt anything.
She goes through about 4 dozen crickets a week, dusted with calcium powder. She won't eat greens. (I've tried everything).
She often seems upset or moody and won't eat much for a day or so then will eat a lot.
She hates baths and getting wet.
Doesn't like to be held.
She's only shed twice since August.
Thoughts?
