strange behavior????

pogo_the_dragon Jan 26, 2004 08:39 PM

Started to notice that when I goto handle POGO he starts to shake his head..almost like trembling or seizures...Note he only does this when I pick him up! My friend says his dragon also does this! What is it???

Do you supplement with calcium? Do you have UVB/UVA lighting? What are your temps? That is not normal.

Oh believe me his setup is top of the line...He's got a powersun 100W MVB...Plus A reptisun 5.0 bulb...Repcal dust...Repcal pellets...All the best foods I can buy...Like I said he doesn't do this at any other time except when I goto touch hime...It's more like it's a defensive measure he takes...My temps are all fine....110 basking and 88 degree midtank....and 75 and the opposite end..I know all that is fine..I just wondered if anyone else's dragon does this which like I said my friend said his dragon did that before too...Not a big deal I suppose as POGO is healthy except for his case of Coccidia which he can't shake!!
