Yea its a mesh tank lid I put my old glass tops from the other tank on top to keep some heat in the tank, currently at 34 celsius and she seems ok at that temperature.

Some bad news for today as my little baby dragon left the planet and rose to the stars. I have no idea what happened but she was dead on arrival when i got home. She hadn't eaten for the last 2 days but I didn't think anything was wrong because of that because sometimes they wont eat. But she was very lethargic the past few days and didnt move much at all.. The temperature is currently 97 degrees and has been stable, she was eating up until the last 2 days.. I think Compaction may be the culprit, she was struggling to even breath and her stomach was contorting. Rest with the Dragons Daenarys !!!

I am so sorry to hear about your dragon---- that is a shock to come home and find them like that and not know what is happening-- was there any black bearding going on and when was the last time she pooped? Why do you think it was compaction?

[CrazyDave]

Yea she had black gills and half of her tail turned black, I assumed compaction because she was struggling to breath but I honestly don't know. She just appeared to be having a very hard time breathing, she ate some crickets and salad about 2 days before she died.

She pooped or puked the day she passed away, I picked her up to clean out her cage that's when I noticed she had the black tail and gills. When I got back home she was gone.

 

[CrazyDave]

So she has now been returned to the earth and in the flower garden - gone but not forgotten, I'm cleaning out the tank in hopes I can get a new Dragon today.

So her beard was black? Distress or pain is what causes that- black tail? Was it shed or did she have an injury on the tail?

no injury I was aware of but I googled it and read that it was from stress, which she definitely had signs of that.

That is so strange for her to just kill over like that--- I am floored -- and so very sorry too -- it makes my heart break to see her like that -- I have no idea of what would of caused that --- w/ her having a hard time breathing that could of been a RI but I dont think it would of caused death -
