Next things to do....





1) find a herp vet in your area.

2) setup a first visit.

3) save a stool sample and take it in for an exam.



vet can help determine sex.

check for any parasites.

advise on other problems they may spot.

get inital length and weight recorderd.



weight can be important in tracking health.

also can help in determining if your dragon is ok now...



BTW: on top of the head, just behind each eye is an area that should have a soft "bump" .... if that spot is sunk down then the dragon has not been eating too good and needs to "fatten Up" some.... this is one of the places they store a bit of fat for hard times....
