got my Vivarium and Dragons delivered yesterday and they have settled straight in and got there feet well and truly under the table already lol

2 females called bread and butter and only 10 wks old







getting some plants and a backdrop on friday

 

Cool I will have to get you a pick of mine, hes a year old male called B.A

Do they like there veg?

 

awww bless. How big are they supposed to grow? and what age do they live to?

 

got some pics up mate, he will be a fair size being 1yr old i bet

so far they love the grub, eating there salad and crickets and locus

 

they grow to between 18-24 inches but most max out at 20 and they live between 10-15 years

 

aah lovely. i got two my self 1 male and 1 female, mick & elle. the male should be called popeye thou he looks like hes on steroids haha do you use any vitamins etc on their food? also how do you give then their water?

 

how do you no they are females at only 10 wks ?

 

cool. I've got two baby crested gecko's.

Not mine but look the same

 

the breaders have sexed them altho they say they can only be 90% sure

 

lol @ popeye

there on Nutrabol at the min which go on the crickets and locus and they have a water bowl in there aswell

 

Awww i used to have two beardys called bert and ernie!

 

lol did you have two males in together ???

 

No, they were male and female, Bert was short for Bertha!

 

Very nice mate,my two sons keep pestering me about getting a couple of dragons but am worried about how much hassle they are to keep

 

how much was the tank?

 

tank with heat lamp with thermostat, UV light, bits of tree water bowl and chippings basically reay to go wasjust over Ł300 mate

 

wow that aint bad, no where near as expensive as a marine fish tank.

might look into this myelf

 

do you find they drink from still water? usually they wont and you have to teach them. You can sex them yourself when they are 3 months old by lifting their tail from behind and looking out for 1 or 2 lumps near the base of the tail where they poo. also the males have a few semetrical dimples under both their rear legs

 

best go to reptile specialist like this http://www.britnett-carver2.co.uk/c2c/

 

nice one dude

 

if you want them sexing .i can do that for you .i use to breed them .done it for about 15 years

 

cheers dude they have been sexed altho they said they are only 90% sure as they are still young

 

Mine would never drink from water, so used to 'spray' them with a water mist a few times a day

 

I'm also doing this, its quite funny watching lick the water off each other lol

 

so if they have one or two lumps this means they are male ?? and females have none ???

 

ive had mine for 4 years now! hes just over 18", i have never seen him drink,(still put fresh water in every other day) and ive never sprayed him, heard its bad for the skin! not sure how true tho! they get there fluid from there food, best thing is to get them eating veg when there young,saves you ŁŁŁŁ, he loves wax worn, he goes nuts even when he see's the yellow tub they come in (start head butting the glass trying to gey at them,hehe!)
i think i paid bout Ł250 for the set up and gizmo (lizzard) and after a 6-8 month i could take the tank back for a bigger one and he would take the price i paid for the small tank off the bigger one!

 

They look quite big for 10 weeks?

My mate keeps 2 and has had various numbers over the last 7 years. They are usually quite quiet when let out but i have seen some people have theirs climbing curtains and all sorts
