This morning was very sad for me and I was wondering if I anyone could help me find some answers.
This morning I found that the light for my water dragon was not on and so naturally I went and replaced teh globe. I could not see the water dragon but just asummed he was hiding so I looked around the enclosure and found him in his water bowl. I thought this was very strange comsidering it was not warm as teh light had not yet come on. I gave his tail a nudge but there was no reaction so I picked his up and found he was dead.
How could have this happened.
This was a baby water dragon no more than 5 months old. He was collected by Wires as an egg and hatched in Wires. This was then giving to me to take care of (my first Wires animal). He was in perfect health as far as I could tell. He was eating, basking and doing everything normally so why did he just die?
I have yet to call Stuart (The reptile co-ordinator of Wires who gave me the dragon to take care of) and tell him.
They always tell you at Wires not to be upset if a lot of the animals you recieve die but this water dragon was in perefect health. The only reason we had him was because he was too small to survive winter burmation.
Does anyone have any answers?
