Sorry about your loss doi!

Having your BDs bask in the sun unattended outside has a lot of risks...over-heating, predation, etc. So, better keep an eye on your BD if you opt to bring it out for sunlight. If busy, kuwang sa oras kay nagdali na....just leave them to bask under their heat lamps na lang. Bring them out only if you have time to spare to keep an eye on them.

In the wild, they go under shaded areas if it gets too hot being under direct sunlight. They thermo-regulate so that they won't over-heat. So kung walay kadaganan ang BD since naa siya sulod sa bin, under direct sunlight for an hour or so....it will definitely suffer over-heating.

the basking spot in my BD enclosure often registers at 95 to 100degF on warm days. Hence I use a temp controller to regulate the heat on the basking spot so that I won't have to worry about the temp rising beyond comfortable levels for my BD. they are OK at 110degF max...but if the enclosure is not that spacious, it will also raise the temp levels on the supposedly cooler side. Hence I maintain my basking spot temp between 92-95degF only so that the cooler end will be at 84-86degF allowing my BD to thermo-regulate properly.

anyway, below are photo updates of my BD (sensya na sa qualty, phone cam lang. gitamad ko shoot using a DSLR):

sam @ day 46. already showing color on head & tail. she grew really fast when her appetite "sky-rocketed". her diet: newly-molted mealies, 1/4 & 1/2 inch black crickets, fresh veggies, and zoo-med juvy BD pellets.

@bro bow are the pellets? Never tried giving my dragons pellets bai, can you post a video sa pellets feeding? mural nindut na daw coz mas daghan gyud nag vitamins built in right?

[gilbz]

in feeding the pellets, you need to moisten it with water aron muhumok, then I mix it with some veggies. sometimes I stick some of the softened pellets on the bodies of the crix I serve my BD...that way, wala na siyay choice but to ingest it.

sometimes I moisten some pellets and give it as gut-loading to the crickets I selected for my BD's breakfast the following day.

hehe cute sad kaayo sila mag bask kay mag tapok sila, sometimes one on top of the other pa. hehe..

recently lang sila mu kaun na jud ug 1/8" nga crix kay before ma hadlok jud sila. so now hopefully kusug2x na sila mu grow we still put them in separate containers when feeding para ma monitor namu ang ila kaun. sometimes kay the bigger one jumps over to the other containers kay mu steal some of the food from others. hehe

hehe yay, sige mag wait lang ku msg or text me lang
