Hello,

I agree, sometimes it does happen that one just doesn't grow like the others.
Does he get as much food as the other 2? Maybe moving them to a larger tank will help. Also you could take...

Hello,

I agree. So far, Bobmac has not released the Metal Halide UVB kit for use as of yet. Other metal halide lights do not emit UVB, or if they do, it is such a small fraction of emission...

Hello,

He is a bit young for brumation, but if he is healthy, there is not much you can do to stop him. He should lose little to no weight so keep an eye on his hydration status. You can check...

Hello,

Sometimes, the ink on the newspaper can rub off on their skin. Butcher's paper is good, or non adhesive shelf liner is good also. Alot of people use paper towels, too.:D

What brand of UVB light are you using? There are alot of worthless UVB lights out there. The brand should be stamped on the bulb itself, so could you check for me? If the UVB is not a...

Hello,

Breeding a brother & sister is not wise, as it is inbreeding & can lead to physical deformities & other health problems.
Just my opinion though.:D

Hello,

First off, I don't recommend the compact lights. They are not very good in terms of UVB emission & can be hard on the eyes. Can you perhaps exchange the light for a Reptiglo 8 linear or...

Hello,

One other thing since they are from the same clutch you will eventually have to separate them so they don't breed. You don't want to inbreed. You can wait a bit on that but by the time...

Hello,

Just a suggestion for when your dragon comes out of brumation. The inrared heat lamp is not good to be used with a UVB source. It is not bright enough to protect the eyes against the UVB...

I agree, heatrocks really are not recommended anyway though due to the fact that they can get burned. They need heating from overhead not underneath.

The dropper method works very well. I think he should be given the opportunity to have live feeders 2 times a day though. Most babies will eat anywhere from 25-50 crickets daily if their...

I just wanted to see a picture if you have one!
How is he doing today?
The more you work with him, the more tame he can become. Handfeeding is a great way to bond with him also.

One main reason they like to bask while sitting straight up with their head pointed up is because they absorb more UVB through their ventral side such as their beard, chest & chin area...

Sometimes it takes at least a week, give or take, for them to shed after their eyes clear up. You will look at them & swear they have shed, but you look, & there is no skin. :lol:...
