And I can go find a whole bunch of books that say it's safe to feed pinkies, crickets, hamburger meat & monkey chow to an iguana. A single solitary source of information means nothing. Even several sources of information mean nothing when they're all parrotting things they've all read in the same book.



Our dragon has had exactly the same treatment as all our other dragons which are healthy. And maybe the gout was caused by Bob's mistreatment of him, it's possible. He already had the gout BEFORE we got him. It wasn't until he'd had X-Rays done that we found out exactly what the problem was. And there certainly are genetic cases of gout. Just hit the search engines and search for familial gout.



The dragons I'm talking about, that shouldn't be bred, are the ones that are still growing at the age of 15-18 months, which is damn near most of them.
