    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

A few confusing problems

My male and female are temporarily in view of each other right now.

-My male dragon occassionally, but seldom, will flex his beard and open his mouth. It almost sounds like a popping noise comes and it looks as if he is trying to get a taste out of his mouth by moving his tongue. MY female did something very similar today for the first time. Problem? Explanation?

-Everyday, randomly as far as I can tell, my male will chase an invisible bug. That is probably the best way to sum it up. He will move toward a certain spot, pushing his tongue out as if he is about to eat a cricket. Explanation/reason?

-My female dragon has started jumping at her light, but she does not do it very often at all. Problem? Reason?

-This I dont think is anything, but sometimes my male dragon will cock its head sideways and stare straight into his light.
 
I have 2 females and even before I got the male the occasionally jumped at the light.
 
The new cage will be finished in a couple of days, thats why they are in the sight of each other, I can bock the window if that would be necissary?

I haven't heard the popping sound either, my girlfriend said it was a very very faint sound so I am guessing it may be from him moving his tongue or something of the sort.

Thanks for all of the help and I am very relieved to hear that this is normal. I will put a sheet of paper in their line of sight.
 
I blocked the view with paper and now Charlie (male) just sets in a corner and doesn't move until he gets crickets. When they are gone he goes 'dormant' again. Is this bad? Is he feeling as if he lost to another male or what?

Pinky (female) is in her new cage now and seems to love it!
 
Did you build a new cage? Don't forget to post pics of your new cage and your dragons.
