That's what I do too, clean out the sinks between baths. As for Lonzo, I couldn't believe his previous owner didn't think there was anything wrong with his tail, as it turned into tail rot. I watched it carefully when I got home & when I saw it move up got him straight to the vet & she took another 2" off, so he lost just over 5" total on his tail. Poor boy, he'd be 20" long without that missing.
So keep up the good work. Did you eventually get silkworm eggs? Or stay with crix. You should ask your local petshop about getting more crix at a time, anything we bought over 500 we got a good discount on, so ask about that. Otherwise you're going to be going to the petshop more often than you'd like!
I bath the dragons in the tub with a cloth and two rocks for them to climb on if they want. Jade loves to swim around and then chill on the rocks. When shes ready to come out she will usually climb on my hand and thats her way of saying "Im done!!!". Golly hates being the bath water, so its a fight with him in it... hahaha
I cant imagine dealing with an issue like that!!! Jades tail is a big enough issue for me to deal with... Any more issues with her and I think I would go bonkers!
I havent gotten the silkworm eggs, Ive had issues with my funds the past few weeks so I cant get the eggs or the chow - Im also going on an 8 day cruise at the end of February so I need to bank money for that. So, Ive stuck with crix for now. The last batch of 100 that I bought have lasted me so far, Ive fed the dragons every day with the crix and salad, and thats 'woken' Golly up and now he wanders around more. He still doesnt glass dance, but at least hes walking around... Jade goes nuts when she sees my home made cricket duster! She literally jumps at it to get at the goodies inside!
I figure the 100 crix will last me the better part of a week, which is fine with me so long as I can maintain them that long - my building has Pharaoh ants and those LOVE crix. So I have to watch how I keep the crix and where - too close to the dragons and I end up with 1/8"ants on and around the dragons! The building is being treated for the ants starting on thurs and fri. So hopefully that will solve the issue!
