Jamie.
If you ever feel the need to get rid of that dragon let me know. I love the "odd ball" dragons. It will fit right in when the Silks are born.

update!

Well, I moved the little guy into a cage today with a few of his siblings. I went to dump in the lobster roaches, and he hunted them down and ate 5 - both heads taking turns. I was pretty impressed, since even normal babies can take a day or two before they start eating. I misted him and both heads drank, although one head seemed thirstier than the other. He's a spunky little guy!

Lol, that's a cool name! My kids have named him Bert and Ernie for now, lol. Once I can determine the sex, I might give him a cooler, gender appropriate name, rofl!

He's doing good. I seperated him from his siblings so that I can tell if he poops. That is my next concern, since I have no idea if his digestive system is properly formed. Seems to have a good appetite though, and he is moving all around his cage.

Sorry I'm coming in late on this, but CONGRATS! The baby(ies) look adorable! And if anyone can give that baby a good life, it is you for sure! I think Matt said just about everything else on my feelings about the idea of breeding for money (I have a great husband, don't I?)
How is he doing today?

I am still waiting for him to poop. If he does not go soon, I will try a warm soak. I'm feeling pretty paranoid right now, because he has eaten quite a bit...and what goes in must come out, unless there is some sort of internal issue. His belly is looking quite full this morning.

I noticed something pretty bizarre. His breathing is not in sinc...each side inhales and exhales at it's own pace. One may breath faster, while the other breathes slower, and one my be inhaling while the other is exhaling. I guess each head controls one side of the body - at least as far as breathing is concerned. It amazes me that they can get it together enough to walk around. This might explain why the gait looks a bit weird...if they are having to work together to make things happen. I'll post more updates as they happen!

Have you thought about getting an ultrasound to see what organs are shared? That might give you a better idea on what is going on for the little one.
The breathing thing is strange! I bet it is adorable though!

We have POOP, glorious POOP!!!! Yay!!!

My little two-headed bugger finally pooped for me today! I was really starting to worry. The warm soaks were not working and he was getting kinda bloated looking (the darn thing just keeps eating and eating, lol). So today I gave him a real good belly massage, and a few minutes later...out came a perfect little poop! I never thought I would ever get this excited over poop, lol.

Here's a really crappy video I took yesterday. I am new at this, and I promise these will get better, lol. I plan to get a video of him eating tommorow.

Take special note of his breathing when he is sitting on my hand, about the middle of the video.
