I don't post much to this forum, but I have posted and told you all about my BooBoo lizard. He was born in captivity, without me even knowing he was an egg in the cage. I found him climbing the wall of the adult's cage one day after work. Anyway, BooBoo got pretty sick last summer, and I took him to the vet. He had a serious calcium deficiency, and at some time had broken his legs. They gave me liquid calcium to give him twice a day, and after much nursing and medicine, he was getting better. But the past couple of weeks, he was "quivering" when I'd pick him up, sleeping a lot, and looking dark colored, not a bright green. Yesterday when I came home from work, he had already died at some point during the day. It was a pretty sad day for me. I had him for 19 months. He was "my baby".

Lizard died

What a shame. I read somewhere that it takes 2 years to kill a lizard, because they are so good at hiding their illnesses. Most owners never even know that something is wrong. I always considered your little "surprise" a miracle dragon and I'm really sorry to hear that he is gone. Diane

Sorry to hear your news, I hope that you will consider the two years of life he had as a gift, and not let it discourage you from keeping and breeding your waterdragons.
Truly sorry to hear that.

thank you all for responding. I still have BooBoo's mom and dad, who are big, healthy water dragons. I will continue to care for them and who knows, maybe there will be another BooBoo some day!
Oh Patty, I am so sorry to hear about you beloved BooBoo. Awwwww! My condolences, and prayers for your baby. (((Hugs)))
