Thanks for asking about my igs and uros !All of them are doing great!
Summer is coming, the weather is becoming even more hotter and because of that my igs ( i still have 3 males)are growing still faster!2 of them are already more than 60 inches!Not bad for a 3/4 years old igs!
My uros are doing great too! In spite of the HIGH level of humidity (around 200% lol!)they are becoming fatter and fatter! Muffin, my sweet Mali, is 400 grs already and Brioche is almost 300 grs!

My Beardie is doing well, too! Croissant,the Beardie i adopted with MBD is practically cured, his jaw is 90% normal and he is 560grs!In the photo you see below he was only 400 grs! He got 160 grs more after that photo was taken!lol!

I know that high level of humidity is not good for Uros and Beardies but until now i didnt have any problem because of that!

By the way, although im living in Malaysia im Brazilian, lol!

Im happy to know you have another ig.Do you have a photo? I wonder whether your males are not fighting like mine!Whats your secret to avoid male igs fights?

Hi Flavia, My secret is to keep the males separate and not let them see each other...I actually have the 2 boys in my living room area and the cages are side by side, but there is a solid wall between them...and I didnt let them see each other when I brought the new one in...glad to hear from you...when I have pics I will post them....Lyn

I keep my 3 adult male igs in my balcony.2 (TREX and THOR)are alpha males and their only wish in life is to kill each other.The 3rd one (his name is Shena, because on the beggining i thought he was a female!)is a submissive one that never displays orange/red colors and never inflates his dewlap or headbobs to anybody.His only wish in life is to be invisible!

I put the submissive one's cage in the middle to prevent the 2 alpha males to be close to each other.

All 3 cages are separated for a thick layer of fake grass carpet.No way they can see each other!

In spite of that TREX headbobs to Thor and Thor headbobs back to TREX.They cant see each other because of the thick fake grass walls and their cages are separated by Shena's cage.But they continue provoking each other! How can do that (to headbob in response to each other's headbobs if they dont make any sound and cannot see each other?)i dont know!!

Do you have any idea?

You said you have them on you balcony. Is there a large window or glass door or even a sliding glass door across from then to access the balcony? If so they might see each other in the reflection. Just a thought. I don't know if they can sense each others presence, but that could be another possibility.

I think that they bob even if they cant see each other...mine have no idea the other is there butthey continue to bob at me, at the dog, at the cat etc...they still eat well and turn a great color of orange, but will bob no matter what...maybe yours know they others are there...are they eating OK? that would be a factor of whether or not they are ok...Lyn

I think thats a good explanation because they head bob in response to the others headdbobs!

No, all of them are eating well, and growing a lot! The submissive one was becoming depressed and a little bit lethargic.Then, someone in this FORUM said to me to put his platform higher than the others 2 alpha males.I did that and it worked!He is eating better, more active and self confident!But i know he will never be as imponent and large and beautiful as the alpha males.He looks like a very long (5 feet?) female.But i saw he is a male!lol!
