    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....

Hi, I've returned to Texas for the summer. I have another rescue here. I have a CWD that is a year old or close to it but seems to be staying very small. She's under 10 inches. This dragon has to be handfed, she suffered an eye injury from the pet store staffs inexperience and she has trouble seeing her prey. We used to have to stuff food down her throat, she can now see it with her good eye. But you still have to hold her crickets. It took a LONG time to get this suspected girl back on her feet. Her eye was so crusted, so far gone and we followed the med regiment and after months she came around. She's very skittish. She may bite. This is a display girl, this is a girl that's a real price ledge to have because she's a real survivor. Her back legs suffered suspected metabolic disease because she doesn't have a lot,of control on them. She spends most of her time in the water.

She loves the water. She has 4 filters and a viquarium in there to keep,it clean. The algae can be a battle but the 40 gallon will suit her I suspect another year. She will do well in a exo terra the largest aboreal one they carry but that's it, she won't need a custom. The pet store made sure of that with their mistreatment of her, her growth was stunted along with her other ailments but look at her now. Green and shedding. The pet store was trying to sell her as a unique brown water dragon. They didn't provide water so she stayed stuck in the grossest brown shed ever. When we got it off, it came off in like a thick leather suit. But under was this fantastic smooth green. I've never seen a lizard so happy.

This is a very special dragon. I'm really happy for her. She bought by another young student who gave her up after two weeks of the dragon not eating and that's when we got her and how we know her story.

The adoption fee is local pick up in San Antonio and you coming to my house once or twice, I need to meet you first. These are rescue animals and must not go to inexperienced, under equipped persons or gifts for small children. He comes with her setup, a 40 gallon tank, all hood lights and hood, new reptisun in there and with a few dozen crickets. She is an easy feed now, she eats 4 crickets in a row and that's it for the day she won't accept anymore. All of this just all has to go to the right person. I don't need her taken off my hands, I need to place her with the right person. That is the adoption fee, I don't accept money or make money off of animals. Please message me through here and I will reply. I'm sorry I can't ship, he's been through enough. Look for my other rescues going up today.

Her tank is on the bottom left. Please message for pics of Esme, the chinese water dragon.
