TRANSLUCENT BEARDED DRAGONS
 

I am thinking abut getting a Translucent dragon. But I have heard all kinds of crazy things about them. I just wanted to get some more info on them. I thought this would be a good place.

1st Are trans as healthy as other dragons?
2nd Do they need different care than other dragons?
3rd Heating and UV luting, do they need more or less?

Thanks

Not really
 

Hy,

In my oppinion they are a bit more delicate then a "normal" Dragon but is no not differents in keeping them! ;)
So in my experience, the need the same care as every other Beardies!
I handle them now until Three years and have no problems with them.

When they are Babys, they where a bit hard to handle!

But if they get over this period, it makes not really a difference! :)

Kind regards,
Jasmin

Please don't be to mad at me, if i make a lot of tiping mistakes!
I come from Austria/Vienna an so English writing is sometime still hard for me :o

Not a problem. Thank you for the help.

Jasmin,

Your English, while not perfect, is perfectly understandable. I doubt there are many here who can write in German as well as you can in English. Thank you for your input.

Agreed - heck, there are several that frequent this site that aren't nearly as proficient or understandable...and "English" is their first language.

Hello,

The most that I can say about Translucents since I have never owned one is that I do know that alot of the lines in the last 2-3 years have become infected with the Adeno virus, & it spread through alot of the colonies. So, I would be very careful who you buy from. Check them out, ask questions, see if they would test for you before hand, etc, before purchasing.

That is some good info to have. Thanks

Thanks for that opinion. Please everyone, let's not make this another nasty drama-thread about adenovirus and the personalities involved. There are enough other threads in this forum about that subject. I won't hesitate to issue warnings and suspensions if things turn ugly.

I hope this is not a problem.... I was just asking a couple questions...

No, it was not a problem at all. :) Your questions were fine. I just don't want old fights/drama creeping into this thread. My admonition was meant as preemption.
