I'm Ric and this is Magma
She's being held by my daughter. She actually belongs to her. I've had her two days now. She's from Bloodbank Dragons.
This is the top of the tank that she is in.
I have two 18" Reptisun 10.0's Basking temps are 110-117 cool side is a low 80's and the tank never drops below 78 in the summer. We will see how it is in the winter. She's on slate tile and we're going to paint some cardboard for a temporary background and maybe find a log for the length of the tank. I want to build a background and basking site from foam when it cools down enough to work outside.
She's fed crickets and dubia right now. I have some phoenix but she won't touch them. She did lick one when I first offered them and she shook her head like my dog does when he smells a stinkbug. They do smell worse than crickets though so I don't really blame her.
She is my second one. We lost the first one to a combination of being a week old when sent home with me, a novice, and having coccidia and catching it too late. They offered me another one but wanted the other one back. We had already buried her. We also weren't willing to risk getting another dragon from that shop. I was told too much wrong advice and sold subpar products. I just walked out still with a store credit that I prolly won't use.
Anyway, Magma seems very healthy and has given consistently good poos, I have pics if anyone wants to see :. She eats minimally in the mornings but a good bit around lunch and minimally in the evenings. I have seen her munch on the veg pile everyday so far though so I'm not all that concerned. The first day she ate about one 1/4 of the plate.
The only thing I've seen her do that might be cause for concern, is scratch her head and nose against the floor once yesterday.
