Hi, I've been a lurker here for almost a year--ever since we knew we would be getting a dragon. My user name is a little misleading as I am really Drako's grandmother. He owns my oldest daughter who is 13. Drako is now 8 months old and almost 15 inches long. We will have a weight by tomorrow. He is a "Super Orange X Citrus Sandfire" that we purchased through the classifieds on King Snake. He is currently housed in a 20 gallon, but will be in a larger home in the next week or so. His lighting and temps(80-basking 110) are up to par. We use shelf liner. He mainly eats dusted crickets and an occasional meal worm or canned cricket- his favorite. He is not impressed by salads yet, but still gets offered a varried one (mustard or collard as well as other veggies or fruits) with pellets (Repcal). He does love green beans...
He was doing great until about 2 weeks ago when his appetite began to slow down. His stools were also a bit watery but still formed. I took a sample to the vet last week. Our vet is a "country vet" but he does have some reptile experience. He did decide to send the sample to a larger lab. The results came in yesterday but we will not find out the details until tomorrow. All they would say was that several "things" were found.
I'm sure I will be back posting tomorrow with several questions about his treatment...not that I do not trust the vet but...
Here is a picture taken today of Drako
