dragon myths

[richard]

ive spoken with several exotic vets in the past few days who have done many,many necropsies on bearded dragons young and old and have readily stated that there is NOT a definitive KINK in the intestines of juvenile bearded dragons. if anyone can produce documented proof by a certified exotic vet or herpetologist, they as well as myself would love to see it. this comes about as i have heard many statements from people saying that you should not feed superworms until a dragon reaches 16 inches or longer. HORSEHOCKEY! ive been doing it for years and never had a problem. a little common sense and APPROPRIATELY sized worm can work wonders. let me hear from you guys as i know some of you would love to pound me on this one.

Ya Richard when that was mentioned i researched it also and couldnt find any hard evidence of that either. I feed my juvies supers too with no issues.

I've heard the same thing & like u guys, never had an issue with supers. Bill has studied a couple dragons, he might know something about the anatomy.

 

[richard]

what? no other takers on this one?
