Hello Everyone,

Recently adopted this big fella not long ago. He's doing well, eating lots checking out everything he can. My only problem is im not 100% sure on what exactly he is.

So .. what exactly is he?


Thanks,

Well i knew he was a bluey of some sort, so i found a basic feeding guide and used that. I feed him close to what my bearded dragons have with a few variations..

Well if i was a betting man, i'd put my money on that. Thanks for the help.

Judging by that photo he is way under nourished. How much meat does his tail have?

Well thats the main reason i have him is because he wasnt looked after at his last home. He was at a child care center and was neglected. My sister only just started working there, she called me up and with in a day i was looking after him.
I've been offering him fresh food each day with calcium / multivitamin dust on rotation to help out a bit.
He has a bit of meat on hs tail, that photo does make him look skinner than he is though.
