Hello all! Apologies to the members and staff if this post is in the wrong section. Its one of my first one's and wasn't sure about where t put it.
Anyway, I checked out this pet shop in L.A. a few months ago and they had a good amount of dragons in stock. There were a couple that "didn't look like the others" and I inquired about them. Turns out the shop had rescued them. They were abandoned and were rehabilitating them. I inquired about one in particular, and they told me he would be available once the rehab was done, and I left my phone number with them to call me when he's ok.
A few weeks later I got a call, and the shop owner asking if I would want to continue his rehab, and was willing to give him to me for free, along with another rescue that needed a home. Unfortunately I had room for only one, and couldn't take the second one. My girlfriend and I went to pick him up the day after I got the call, and took him to his new home. He was a dark red, like a fire morf, his tail was way darker then the rest of him, and had some really nice patterns on him. He and I bonded right away. He was also very thin, and spastic. He had a black mark on the lower part of the front of his mouth from rubbing against the enclosed constantly from being stressed. Once we got him home, I fed him immediately. He was thin and attacked a dandelion green I put in front of him. I mean ATTACKED! Anyone ever see a dragon literally attack a green? I never have.
He was very hungry and I gave him salad, along with a bunch of Dubais and worms I picked up at the pet shop. I thought what I got him that day would last a couple of days, but it only lasted that one day, and I had to act quick and get more, lots more!
Anyway, that was about 5-6 weeks ago and he just finished fully shedding tonight, and I could not believe it when I looked at him. I took a few pics and wanted to post them here for all to see.
He looks like a completely different dragon. and is doing amazingly well. I think he's part tiger and has blue bars.
So that's the story of my little buddy Chad.
**Please pardon the post shed mess in the cage, tomorrow is cleaning day.
