Mountain Horned Dragon - yearling enclosure

Here's the new set up for the yearlings...they had to give up their baby cage for the 11 new arrivals....the yearlings haven't settled in yet...it's always a huge adjustment when you move them to a different enclosure. They moved from the bedroom to the livingroom on top of all that...I'm having to put food in their mouth right now so they are a bit skinny. They'll recover from the trauma and eat like pigs again SOON, I hope!

This is a 55 gallon tank with the former cornsnake background that Jeff make for Nake, there's a bubbler and lots of vines and places to hang out. The temps are in the mid 70's up to a basking site that runs about 90, lot's of variation in temp for them. I'm using 2 10.0 UVB strips and a spot light for heat.

Thanks for looking!

Hello Angie!

That looks absolutely awesome! The lighting is great too! They look so happy & healthy. I hope that they are adjusting to everything well also.

Thanks Tracie....check out the babies new pics I just posted when you get a chance. The yearlings are still not moving around unless I move them, then they will eventually make their way to a perch. I'm putting red worms in their mouth and they eat them....they just get so traumatized when you relocate them. I think they are eating the crickets because the cricket tub is missing some but it could just be that they escaped.

I absolutely cannot understand how ANY of the WC's even make it through shipping. I did some rearranging with the adults this weekend and they are still not moving...although gobbling nightcrawlers hasn't been a problem for them.

Hello Angie!

They are SO georgeous! So they don't relocate very well, huh? Poor things they stress easily.
I don't see how any of the WC dragons make it either, I suppose probably not too many of them do huh?
You are doing a fantastic job with your captive bred program.
