[Pat B]

congrats! that is a beautiful dragon and so tiny.....spike is growing into a chunky monkey! good luck and keep us updated

 

[bouncer36]

I will keep you update. The petstore said he was 3 months old I think he is younger than that 41/2 inches and weigh 2g

Likely closer to 3 weeks ... Most of mine hatched out at 4.5" ...

They are selling them much too young these days, it used to be 6" or 6 weeks old to be assured of a healthy Dragon. There were very rarely issues with New Dragons then. Because of the competition now with everyone & their dog breeding these guys, they are not kept long enough before being sold & the stores don't take well enough care of these little fellas.

It is a little Sweetheart though ...

 

[bouncer36]

Thank I didn't think so that right

 

[bouncer36]

@bouncer...We will let you slide this time but in the future we require that all houses be professionally sanitized, organized and all walls freshly painted before using them as background in posted pictures of our dragons! ;-D hahahahaha
BEAUTIFUL DRAGON and always enjoy updates! The Dragon is the Only focal point and subject in your pics and the important thing I see anyway
Enjoy the day!

 

[bouncer36]

Lol thank you and yea he/she is beautiful.

 

[Noella]

So is mine. We've got art supplies and my jewelry supplies. We're pretty much pressed for space. No storage so that makes it harder for us to put things away. Heck, I've got a 29 gallon travel tank right in the middle of my living room filled with art show stuff.

Did I mention I've got Christmas Jewelry hanging around on an Eiffel Tower and on a butterfly with no antennae. LOL!

 

[bouncer36]

Lol sometime I think keep my dragons tanks cleaner than my house

 

[Noella]

Same here, including the crickets and supers. If beardies need clean homes, so does their feeders.

I went to my local petstore one day to pick up some crickets and the associate said, "I don't like crickets! They stink."
I looked at her and asked, "You know what really smells from them?"
"No."
"Their bodies and poop. You've got to clean the bottom of their cases like every other animal you have. That'll cut down on their stench." She looked at me like I was crazy. I told her the truth because it's not the crickets themselves that smell. It's their wastes and own dead.

Mine doesn't smell. They chirp, but they don't smell.

I actually like the chirp.
