hello all,
I have a 5 week old Red Hyotrans Leatherback Male.
I purchased from Daichu Bearded Dragons. Has anyone purchased from this breeder?
I have been very pleased so far and they are always available for questions.
This is my 1st dragon and I am hooked! Already planning on my next lol.
Couple questions for the forum and the experienced please. I appreciate all feedback!
1- Anyone purchased from Daichu? How was your experience?
2- I am starting to build the trust factor...he opens mouth and runs when I try and pick him up..I got him Jan. 5th and he is about 6-7 weeks old
Once I have him in my hand, he is all good! He will close his eyes and relax. I try to handle every other day to eliminate stress. Any tips?
3- He is in a Sterlite bin with a basking hot side and cooler other side. The temps are fine and he seems healthy and happy! I am shopping his big boy enclosure now....and good builders please recommend here and if they ship....I am in New Orleans btw.
4- He loves crickets and eats dubias too, although likes the crickets more.
I calcium dust every 2-3 feeding. Mustard greens and blueberries are the veggies and fruits, but I am open to suggestion there, as well as how to get him to eat the salad more....right now I try and get him that in the AM and "make" him eat that before bugs....any tricks there?
5- I mist him once daily, he licks it off his head. Once done licking I stop. He doesn't like baths at this stage really....that normal/ok?
6- I already got the itch for another and want another leatherback(silkies seem cool, but seems like a bit more work and fragility....some breeders I spoke with said they tend to stay away from them. They are cool though, so to each their own!)
Is a micro-scale just in between a leather and silk?
I really like the Citrus coloring, so anyone who can reco a good breede for those, please chime in.
I look forward to responses and being An active member!
Thanks y'all!
