Is this a Lawson's Dragon???

abstractcypher Apr 14, 2004 12:32 AM

Here's the story:

A friend of mine, whom I haven't seen in 2 yrs but met up with a few weeks ago, has had this little girl for 13 months now. She weighs in @ 34G, and is extremely small. I went over to go see her tonight and bring some supplies (I asked him his husnbandry practices and he was way off)and I was shocked at how tiny she was. The first thing that came to mind was Lawson's Dragon. But I'm not too familiar with them so I figured i'd post picks so you all could take a look.

I figured it may be a Lawson's or a possible MBD case. She's had no UV light and he only started dusting crickets about two weeks ago when I first ran into him.

Whatdya think?

I would recommend checking temps, a larger cage, uvb, supplements, and a fecal check.

Rankins/lawsons are not as common, so most people with small dragons really just have small beardies (whether it is due to husbandry, genetics, other issues, etc).

Best of luck

Agreed with Dana!

Don't know how I missed tis post earlier.... must have seen several responses and thought it had been answered already. Didn't notice they were all from the original person.
