    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    Little Mona is officially UP FOR ADOPTION! She's an amazing little healer, that's for sure! If anyone is interested, this is the link to her adoption information: Adoption Application

    DJ the Middle School Bearded Dragon

    I think you probably meant PetSmart, not Petco. By the way, any teacher (be it science, language arts, whatever!) can apply - They hand out a TON of them! I redeem at least one a week :)...

    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    I am just really amazed with this girl. I think she's going to be able to go up for adoption MUCH faster than I expected; Right now, I'm thinking her 'up for adoption' date is going to be Oct. 1st. She's up to 12 grams now, and up to 4". She's currently eating about 25 dubia nymphs a day, and is...

    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    Well, as of today, Mona has lost the worst of the 5 toes. The loss looks really good though, fresh clean tissue at the loss site. Great! What more could I ask for? She is extremely sensitive to handling today, thinking her foot feels funny or is a bit sore. She's also up to 10 grams! She gained...

    Sex of this dragon?

    I'm no expert, so I'm mostly posting to see if I'm right when someone else posts who actually knows, but I think it looks male.

    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    //edit - accidentally uploaded huge photos, fixed! Alright, pictures of Princess Mona! Just in case you forgot, this is the day she came home... I was pretty sure she would lose the entire foot, and maybe even the arm up to the elbow. And now, today! This is after three weeks of...

    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    I'm going to try to get some good macro shots of her leg today... It looks like she'll still loose a few toes, but probably not the whole foot, and definitely not the whole leg! It is healing FAR better than anticipated... I think maybe the vet didn't anticipate such a devoted caretaker :)...

    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    No photo today, but little Mona has some recessed shed going on. Her shed all went fine except for, of course, around her bad arm. It's not in the danger zone yet, just starting to look a little restricted. She's getting moved back up to daily soak and is under close supervision. If she appears...

    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    I also had to block off visual stimuli on three out of four sides of the terrarium. You see the plastic deflector I put on the back in the photo (still wanted the light from the window,) and there is some particleboard on the other two sides. Roland makes her very nervous (understandably,) and...

    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    Little Mona is doing well! Right now, she's growing longer quickly but still not gaining a ton of mass. I'm not too concerned, she's healthy and active, but still very nervous. I'm sure the more she settles in, she fatter she'll get :P The last few days, she has just now starting showing an...

    Who likes Apples?

    ... I can assure you, it's neither of these two after having to put up with this photo shoot! :P Little Mona Roland, with the same apple. Little Mona is going to have a lot of growing to do, especially considering Roland is still small! :)

    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    Germ, I actually moved her in to the 20 earlier today. I wanted to be able to ensure she could catch her food before I moved her, so it was a short term solution. I still think the 20 is WAY too big, but I intend to offer a chance to feed in a separate enclosure as well as her tank just to...

    Saving Mona; A Recovery Thread

    Alright, the numbers are in and the growth chart is started! In theory, she is 4 weeks old, so her make-believe birthday is July 1st. As of today, Mona is: 7 grams, and 3.25 inches long. (I doubt she has lost weight, the vet probably just has a better scale than I do. Hard to weigh things...
