Dooku is having a sleepover this weekend. So far there getting along great but I'll be watching them closely.
Is it possible for a dragon to be overweight? Dooku looks so fat compared to his buddy Fizzgig, haha

Yes it is possible for them to be overweight Your's doesn't look bad. I read a little about fatty liver disease in bearded dragons and one article I read said that a healthy weight for an adult beardie is 500g. Dexter and Luci are both way over that amount! They are both on diets and have lost 15 and 25 g but they still have a little way to go.

They look good to me. I have heard that an overweight dragon is one that when they get up and move around their belly should be off the ground as they are running around..

I always thought that too but Luci's belly is always off the ground but he is so ROUND, I told David we should have named him Bowser because he looks like Bowser from Mario Brothers!

You made the hammock? It's nice. I think I want to move the fake rock to the cool side and put up a hammock for basking. It seems the fake rock retains heat and gets to about 120* that's a little too warm. I figure fabric won't retain heat so much and be a bit cooler

I can't sew anything but my mom was a seamstress before so I asked her to make it for us and she made 2 but only got the holes in one but he really loves it.. Can't wait to get the other one up on the cool side.
