help! Dragon looking Ill

[shunter]

Hi guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that Ozzy is doing AMAZING! He's gained weight, he's pooping more often and on his own now without baths, he's gone back to eating crickets and greens. We are forever greatful to all of the amazing people that helped us out!

Heres a picture from today, he's getting a little thicker http://i46.tinypic.com/ra3hn5.jpg

Once again, thanks everybody! <3

The back of my beardies head looks just like yours....is that normal for beardies? Do you know??

 

[Germ]

Specifically, what do you mean? Looks like this guy could still use some build up of the Fat stores in the back of the head, but other than that, looks quite normal to me .

 

[Pat B]

what are fat stores??

 

[Germ]

Fat stores on the top\back of the head, directly behind the eyes, where the 'third eye' is located. They are a decent health\condition indicator. If a BD is flat or sunken in this area, it is a good indication of malnutrition &\or dehydration. The area circled in this pic ...

Yep....my beardie must be hungry or thirsty. That is interesting because he is well fed but the hydration could be an issue because he would never eat anything with fluid. He wouldn't drink any water.....shut that mouth tighter than a drum. He is getting more fluid now with the green beans as his poopies are more fluidy. He gets a bath every couple of days and I just started misting him. Is there anything else that I can do?? He is a very independent beardie and seems to do what HE wants to do!!

From the pics that I have seen of Spike, he looked fine to me. What makes you say this? Maybe post a good clear pic of him, for us to see if you really are concerned.
