Quasimodo Update. Thanks to everyone for their responses...more

Well Quasi was offered a meal today from a syringe and eagerly lapped it up. It was a mix of pellets, applejuice and T-Rex dust. He was moving around so effectively I decided to put him in with his clutch mates to see what he would do. I placed him on the basking spot and he jumped off the brick, ran to the side of the tub, and started trying to climb the tub. Within minutes he was already back up competing for a basking spot. I do not plan on housing him with the other babies but wanted to see how he would respond. Minus the hump he acts like a normal dragon. If he were in pain I couldn't imagine him running around and jumping from the top of a basking spot. He has officially be adopted out to my children. They are always giving my dragons attention but the fact remains they're still mine. Now they have their very own dragon to take care of. (With parental supervision, of course.)He will receive the best of care and always have a home for as long as he is blessed with life. Thanks again for the input and I will update periodically.

Mike

They are a hardy! Love to hear stories that turn out like this cudos to you! Ive found that the ones that make you work the hardest are always the best. Keep it up. scott

I'm so glad he's able to get around and find a basking spot. I would certainly agree that jumping off the basking spot like that would mean that he wasn't in any pain. This will be a great learning experience for your kids. Good luck Mike and keep us posted on how Quasi does.

There used to be a person here that had a dragon that looked very similar. As far as I know, the dragon was always small but it did just fine. Good luck to Quasi..
