Thank you for your kind words, yes it was hard to share by story (thinking everyone would blast me), but glad I did.....if it helps save even one dragon. I had put her in a cardboard box with a screen cover (was at least smart enough not to put her in a small aquarium) I have seen many warnings about that. The box was about 18wx14dx14h. It was the fact that she was in direct light with no shade. I had checked her after about 30 mins and she was panting like they do to cool off, but did not seem to be in distress. Went in to chop her greens, came back out......and she had parished. She was a 12" juvenile, not sure if her young age factored in. I only had her one week, she was my first dragon. I had done so much research online to take good care of her. Just did not think that putting her in the direct sun was any different that being under her basking spot. I did put a deposit down for a new little dragon. Will pick her up this coming weekend (wanted time to get everything ready)I am naming her Annabelle..........in honor of Isabelle the dragon I lost.
