i wish this forum was a little more active aswell, the one on reptic zone is more active thats where i constantly am under same user name

rasberries may not be the best treat for a reptile i looked it up on beautiful dragons and it says "Moderate oxalates" feed rarely.
strawberries have a slightly more nutritional value as well as blackberries which are high in fiber and blueberries these are "moderate oxalates" but are ranked above as "feed occasionaly"

i hope this helps!!! check out www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html

I think most people use this forum for problem with their Fd ,but I love to talk about my crazy guy Swizzle. The other day he scared the poop out of me. I had him outside on a leash I made for him when he was younger (older leash.) Well, he jumped down for his normal run after sunning for a bathroom break and as I was holding the leash it snapped when he tugged a little to hard. All I saw was swizzle up on his back legs running like a bat out of hell....All I could think is he's gone ,but my husband had 3 truck tires on the side and Swizzle decided he was heading there to hide.....All I can say was Thank you God, Thank you God ,because there was a big tree next to the tires he could have ran up. Well,Swizzle is back inside and I made a stronger leash........

Rasburries are ONLY a treat, and he loves them!! And from what I read, he is one of the few that eats his greans too.

He is about 7 months old, 20 inches long and FAT and happy.

after going to repti zone I wonder if chick ever has anything nice to say about anything anyone does.

Post some pics of your dragon if you want to talk FD

This was several months ago. More of a cage pic than a Grissom pic.

And here is what I wake up to a few times a week. 1 of 3 of our Pygmy goats. He is standing on a ledge about 4 feet off the ground and and 1 inch wide.

And for the heck of it, an aquarium I converted for one of my 7 RTB's.

in the left corner. It is my passive humidity device. And it works really well. I should charge $$ for this but oh well..LOL

It is a folgers plastic coffee can with a 1 inch hole cut in the lid. Filled with water. Then I stuff most all of a cotton Tshirt through the hole, with enough sticking out to cover the coffee can. The water in the can "wicks" out of the can to provide humidity.

One of the major advantages, is if the temps go up a bit, the shirt tries to dry out a bit, causing it to "wick" more water. More water, more humidity......

I RARELY have to mist. But do so from time to time to give Grissom a shower as he laps up water. He LOVES his showers.

And buy the way, he dont poop in his water, and I "catch" him often drinking out or his water dish. See my post from a way back as to why you have to "catch" them drinking and my theory on it. I (my post) are not hard to find.

If the explanation of the "passive humidity device" was not clear ( I can suck at explaning things at times) post back and I will take pics and stuff. Heck even to the nice PPL I give you my cell and we can talk.

( "POST MESSAGE" as I wonder what will be found wrong with the information above)...Love ya, mean it!!

your cage looks small for a frilled dragon. mine is 40 long 30 wide 48 high. i,m looking for a sub adult male for my 16 month old female

davenkelly Jun 10, 2009 06:51 AM

His cage is next. I am up to 12 Red Tail Boas, due to a breeder friend GIVING me 3 new boas. So I have been bussy working on their cages...

i have nice things to say about alot of things. i had beef with some one on that forum. sorry you had to see it. there was more to it then wat was shown since most of the argument was in personal messages. idk why they attacked me on that forum when i really didnt give wrong information, just not the full treatment and cause? oh bother.... that person just doesnt like me for some reason. though i will always defend myself.

i really like your setup. its great for the lil guy.
what i posted about what you were feeding was simply showing you whats best and whats not making sure you have the best information for your lil guy. thats all. usualy i am straight to the point and i am sorry for that. but at least i got you a great link to lots of yummy treats, if you havent discoverd that site before. idk how you took my words of advice as something not nice to say

if you read this sit you can see i have helped a few people out. one guy had a CFL issue with his frill and quick responces helped him avoid a sickly frill and a huge vet bill.

you can also see i have had plenty of issues myself, trying my best to make sure people dont make the same mistakes.

i am just here to help, and i will most likely always be there for when people need help, i am some one you can count on to be there for you.
