Hello

Hello,

What are you kidding? Yes, they do puff themselves up like that to appear larger to other dragons, etc. They also puff themselves up when they are in water to float better.
How in the world did doing that rupture one of his lungs, are you sure there wasn't something else going on that the vet missed or didn't tell you about? That just doesn't sound right to me. Their lungs shouldn't rupture just like that unless it was punctured by something such as an injury.
I am sorry you lost your dragon. :-( It must have been a fluke, geez.

Hello,

Definitely, IF it was something like that, then it was most likely genetic which is very unfortunate. I am really sorry you lost your dragon like that, how sad. I hope he didn't suffer.
Who did you buy from?

Hello

Hello,


I am glad that he didn't suffer, poor thing.
Well, baths do help quite a bit with shedding difficulty. That should be fine to bathe him, it should help alot. They do tend to get grumpy when they are shedding though.
Is he eating at all?
