Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Your female, aside from looking extremely young dose not have clear nails (at least that is how it appears in the pics), which one would see in a true pastel. Without any additional info on their bloodlines, I would call the normals, normal and any with colour, whatever colour they show. Personally I would not advertise them even as "Possible" trans or hypo hets. But that’s just me.

Hi Zechariah.....the male dragon looks robust and healthy, and is really a great looking dragon. The babies are cute as can be, like all babies are, and very pretty! I would like to mention that they look just a bit dehydrated, I wonder if you spray them daily ? It's good to spray them twice a day, keeps them hydrated, or give a very shallow bath. The poor mother looks very thin, it would probably be good to feed her several meals a day to get some weight on her, provide lots of calcium, too.....and keep her from being bred again. Egg -laying sure takes a toll on them, and the females need huge amounts of food.

Thanks for all the great info Angie! I have been getting a lot of flak on that female. But, I have been feeding here a ton and offering the occasional pinkie for a quick boost of protein. I got her as an adult as a rescue so I think she might be having a hard time gaining weight for some reason. I do have her separated for this reason.
As for the babies, I spray them 2 or 3 times daily and they get soaked every other day so they are definitely not dehydrated. For some reason this clutch has been dropping like flies and I think it has to do with Mom and some issues she may have. I started out with 14 and am now down to 6 which has never happened before. They are getting the same care as every other clutch I have raised. And they are still dying. Has anyone ever had this problem before? Because I have another clutch now that is thriving! I just dont get it.
Thanks again for all the AWESOME input! I really do appreciate it!

Hi Zechariah....you're welcome. Yes, I thought that the babies have a " not doung well" look about them. It really goes back to the mother, you mentioned that she was a rescue, and so she had issues before, no doubt, and in that thin condition, she will not gain any weight if bred, as a matter of fact if she is bred again I honestly think she that could be the end of her. Even if she is done laying [ you know she can lay more than one clutch from one mating] she will have a hard time putting on weight, her legs and neck show how thin she is. She needs several feedings a day, hornworms can put weight back on, and even though I don't use pinkies, she could probably use them several times a week along with her usual insects, plus greens. Try to imagine the amount of food and nutrients that are diverted from her body to develop all those eggs. A female needs far more food than the male, a male can get a little thin during the mating season, but not the female.
