hi everyone!!!!
i just wanted to give a littel Lexi Lou update
Lexi just finushed anotherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr shed ...
she shed her whole head, her sides and her whole belly. she also is currently shedding bottom of half her tail, (the black part) half of her tail is black ... she has never shed that since ive had her, it looks like it might be a tough shed, but i noticed the morning some pieces at the tip were crunching off. she'll get a
bath later and we'll see what happens. i never thought she would have a shed on that area of her tail!!!
her appetite is ferocious as ever, i forgot to order roaches this week, and the shops were out of supers, and so i *shiver* have been dealing with crickets this week ... i know it sounds pathetic but GOD crickets give me the heebie jeebies. shes loves them. ive been hand feeding them b/c those crickets are way to hoppy and fast for her. she has been loving them, she just loves to eat period ... anything that moves, she's all about it. and alot of it. She just went through 35 crickets just now, and she is basking with a big ol beard ready to digest those little suckers.
She did lose another nail sometimes last week, i just looked down and it was gone. her nails are kinda dodgy, they are just so thick and twisted, and this particular one was pretty much laying flat sideways when i got her, just a trouble nail, maybe its best that is gone. idk.
she needs a nail trim but in all honesty, its NOTHING like trimming Blue's nails. Blue, she is a piece of cake. Her nails are sooooo clip-able. Lexi's are almost impossible, the way they grew her whole life, all weird and strange. Im going to run her by the vet today to get them clipped.
well ... idk what he does, remember last time they were cauterized? and she smelled like burnt hair? yea. that was so strange to me!!!
but she is doing SO GOOD!!! i drain her abscess/pocket in her jaw everyday, it come up through that hole in her mouth. i just put the end of q-tips over the hole and lightly push up, and it comes up. its just a thick kind of substance, and to avoid her having to swallow much of it, i keep a switching out q-tips to soak it up. its a pretty quick process, and she is realllllllllllllly good about it.
I think im going to start rubbing raw honey on that area inside her mouth right there. i might order the Maluka Honey from Tracie, or use honey that a family down the road harvests from their own bees. i *think* it might help with trying to heal some of that gum damage, and its such a great natural healing and antiseptic too. I stopped using that ointment in her mouth the vet gave me, it wasnt doing what we hoped it would do ... BUT, thats ok. we tried. and im just going to try the honey route now. the upside is it will taste good for her at the very least!!!
Lexi has been sleeping in my room on the floor under pillows lately, mostly on weekends.
Her colours are almost unbelievable these days, im just blown away by how BRIGHT her yellow is, and how blue and purple those side bars are.
i swear it just blows me away, so so so beautiful.
She is just a social butterfly and and an endless explorer. here, there, everywhere, on ya, off ya, on the cat, on the floor, army crawling everywhere.
there has been like 3 or 4 very warm and sunny days this May that ive taken her out for. She loves to perk up and bask in the sun. she did last summer, i cant wait to get her out this summer too
lets seeeeee ... i think thats about it, OH!! Lexi is quite the water drinker these days. not always, but sometimes she just dips that head almost all the below the water in the sink and drinks and drinks and drinksssssssss. Im not used to that ... Blue is SO the opposite. Blue loves her baths more than life itself, but she is not a drinker. at all. the only time ive seen Blue drink is when she comes out Brumation. They are so opposite in EVERY way its sooooooo funny. I have the BEST of both worlds with them. My girls ROCK!!!
but i think thats about it ... if i think of anything else i will post, and im going to tranfer some pics to my computer and post them for yall
just called the vet and Lori said for her to come in for a pedicure at 10:15 ... so i gotta take my little squeeeee cutie for her pedicure now...
MUCH LOVE TO EVERYONE and i hope everyones dragons and healthy, wealthy, and wise
I hope everyone is doing good?!?
