Ok, the heat pad is underneath and the basking light is up top. We need to lower it a little as it's not getting hot enough. While I'm in here monitoring them I put it right on the mesh to help warm them up a little extra. It's a 50 watt bulb and will be about 2-3 inches above the cover, is that a good distance?
As far as my female goes, outwardly (aside from weight) she seems pretty good. She's going to the bathroom (saw her dangle her butt off the vine and go this morning) and has no discharges or anything like that. You can see her bones through her skin, mostly ribs and hip bones. I think they are still young and they've been together at least since Sunday! I'm not sure how old they are, but they are about 6" from head to tip of the tail.
The person I got them from calls them "baby dragons". They have a website www.mybabydragon.com, and it says there that the ones you buy are mating adult pairs. Being gravid means she is growing an egg right? That would be neat and all but I just want her to eat! We will be getting some flightless fruit flys today and hopefully she'll like those.
Thank you SOOOOOOO much! You're my hero!
