Hi from Cleveland! We are new dragon owners and have much to learn, but our little girl (I think) is already well loved and spoiled. Her name is Francis and we’ve had her nearly 3 weeks. She was teeny when we brought her home but has already shed some so I know she’s grown a little :) I was told she is a red dragon. I know next to nothing on specific breeds/morphs, so maybe someone can tell me if she is in fact a red dragon? I’m hesitant to believe the boy at the pet store since he also told me that 85 degrees was a perfect temp for her basking spot and to leave a red light on 24/7.... I’ve done tons of reading and have since upped the temp and ditched the nighttime red light and she is doing MUCH better. Anyway enough blabbing, here’s some photos of little Francis.

Welcome! That's not a red dragon but it is a very cute normal dragon. So glad you did some reading and up the temps and ditched the red light. Under my comment there are some links to general care and lighting information if you haven't checked them out already, there's some good info there.

Welcome, and I have to agree with Patsy you have a very cute normal dragon, looks like it's going to have some nice markings..Glad to see you've done some research on these babies..

I don’t see any links? I’m mobile so maybe I need to get to a desktop? Trying to find some lighting info maybe could answer my question before making a post
