I took in 2 dragons on 9/26. Raxx and Rhea. Both were about 18" long. When I saw them I didn't think I could save either. Raxx was 205 and Rhea was 187. Sadly, despite my best efforts Raxx passed on 10/7. Rhea is the fighter. She is 225 today. I told the other rescue that Rhea didn't have a chance but maybe I thought I could help Raxx. Funny the way things work out.
A year ago I took in what I thought was the worst rescue ever. He was 386 and lived less than 10 days. I never would have imagined an adult full size dragon could survive at less than half his weight.
The picture below doesn't do her justice. She is all skin and bones. I have learned so much from her already. If I feed her too much she regurgitates. Her trust of me is amazing. My fingers are all crossed.
