    hi everyone. im worried pete is sick

    hi everyone - I have not been able to get on the computer much since my last post but wanted to give a quick update. Pete is still hanging around on the cool side of the tank most of the time. He climbs as high as he can - maybe he does that to get closer to his uv light?? Im not sure. Would he...

    Petstores- A disgrace.

    Poor babies. I hate going in there too now and seeing the condition in which these dragons are kept. Makes me sad. They are all so tiny. We got Pete at a pet store (before we knew any better) and I have to say that I am happy and I feel like we saved him from there. He is doing fantastic :)...

    labored breathing?

    Hi all - I just walked by and said hello to Pete and noticed he looked like he is breathing a little heavily. And when he is breathing - he is kind of puffing up his beard a little bit too. Im concerned because I have never seen him breathe like this before. He also happens to be in the midst...
