Update:
Little man got done shedding in about two days flat, and now has a completely new set of colors. He's showing LOTS of pastels during sleeping and hunting, but every time I pick up the camera, he shifts them back to greens and blues. Silly guy.
He seems to be mellowing out just a little...
Thanks! Here's another of him showing me his colors today. Keep in mind that these are showing through a layer of dead skin that he's about to drop...
I think it's safe to say that he's going to be a STUNNER.
Update: Mr man is really doing FANTASTIC. He is healthy, much fatter, and well hydrated. He has lots of energy and his attitude seems to be calming a bit.
I bought a garden pump sprayer (the kind that builds up pressure and has a hose with trigger) and oh man, that makes a HUGE difference. I...
He looks a bit dehydrated but not bad. Water that boy. Stick him in the shower (warm water, indirect spray, for around 30 minutes). That should help big time. Is he drinking water? I assume you're misting his cage and using a dripper?
Yeah me too. The little turd. I can pick him up sometimes without him freaking out and he just runs in circles around my hands and climbs my shirt, but he is very territorial when he is in his enclosure. I'm hoping that maturity will come with age and he will chill out and be my buddy and...
Little boy had a 30 minute shower today. He drank immediately for a few minutes then went into a warm water coma and cleaned his eyes out. He's still being very very sassy (tried to bite me today), but he's looking TONS healthier than when I picked him up. I've got his lights on a timer now and...
Let me know what you think when you get it all set up. That is the exact one I am planning on ordering with my tax return, along with a MistKing and a bunch of other things.
Oh yes. I cannot wait either. He regularly shows some really cool shades of blue. This was also today. Showing some of his GOOFBALL personality. He hung upside down and chilled with the crickets for like 20 minutes. Then ate a couple.
Wish granted. Little boy not only decided to be sweet today and let me hold him (while giving him a mini-shower in the sink) but he also decided to show me a hint of pastels... there is definitely going to be some buttercup yellow on this boy. The camera doesn't begin to do it justice. He was...
I hope so, he's doing great and has some pretty cool stuff on the way.
I found out from Brianna Kammer tonight that the Sire of his mother is Tamerlain, who looks a lot like Victarion. I'm really hoping for some pastel colors...
Grandpa ("Tamerlain", Sire of Mother, "Tyene"):
Dad...
Update: Big guy continues to improve and fatten up. He seems happy but still doesn't really like hands in his house. He seems to be somewhat used to me by now, but he likes to yell at my lady when she feeds him.
The only thing that has been somewhat tricky to control is that perfect humidity...
She looks dehydrated. Badly. I would put her entire cage in the shower on warm and mare sure she is getting a good soak (but not getting blasted off a branch) for at least 20 minutes. It might not help this late in the game but we can hope. Get some moisture in that girl.
Made a few orders today. I got him a Ficus, 100 medium Dubia roaches, 100 nutra-grubs, Repashy calcium plus, a digital light timer, two more thermometers, another hygrometer, and food for the bugs. I also bought 3 dozen crickets and a larger cricket keeper cage from the local feed store. My next...
That's AWESOME Spyro! That is good news, I think I shall order one soon then. I am going to get the drip pan, and I think I'll rig up a system for drainage. I am thinking about shimming the bottom of the drainage tray just a bit, drilling a hole and the downhill corner in the drainage tray, and...
