    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My brother went to jail over a week ago and I got his dragons there very small hes had them for around 2 years and his girlfriend said he has been feeding spring mix for past month every other day, no crickets for over a month. Ive seen adult dragons and these are super small comapred to what ive seen. Will they get bigger if i get them back to heath and one is way skinnier then the other too. I got a uva/uvb light the 10.0 one. And im keeping there basking at 90 or so. What can I do to get them back to heath? Thanks
 
Scott, can you post a picture? Are you sure these are not Rankin's? It is good that you are helping them :)
I'm thinking the actual basking spot (not the whole cage) can go higher than 90.
What are you feeding them now?
 
From what im told from my brother g/f is there spose to be sunglow phase. Ive been feeding them mustard greens and spring mix for now im getting some crickets tomorrow from pet store and will order more from fluckers on monday.There basking spot is between lowest ive got was 92 and highest is 96 I have a real good temp gun I had from work. I dont reaaly know how to put pic on computors but ill try.
 
I measured them today one is 6 3/4- 7ish inches and the other is 6 1/2in. from nose to where tail starts. will they get any bigger if I bring them back to heath? I know the one is getting a little fatter since ive got them but other is still skinny. I just want them to be happy. Thanks
 
that dragon was given terrible care if it is only 6" and 2 years old. 6" is the size of a month old dragon. Its a good thing you took them. Give them crickets and greens. They probably have such stunted growth i would doubt they will get any bigger.
 
I think he means the dragons are that size snout to vent, so they would be possibly in the 13- 14 inch range. That's still very small, but with good food as Max mentioned which could also include dubia roaches and medium superworms, hornworms and silkworms as well as turnip, mustard, collard greens they could gain just a little more size. You also need good heat + UVB bulbs.
 
Still on the small side at 13-14" but i have definitely seen smaller dragons at that age that were not being treated correctly. Just got an email from someone not too long ago who had two dragons housed together, one male one female.....male was upwards of 600 grames, female barely 200 and not even a foot long. Most of my dragons at 4 months old were larger then this girl at 4-5 years old :-\
