Dragon Diary - 27/03/2010

I've updated the site with a new template and background image.  Depending on the size of your monitor, you should see Booster's head looking at you on the left.  If you scroll down the page a bit, past the links on the right, you will see Lizzy sneaking alook through the lighter white background as well.  I am still getting the hang of things, but, I am pretty happy with the progress of the blog so far.


Lizzy Puff

Food: None witnessed
Toilet: No
Behaviour: Lizzy is looking lethargic and not interested in food at all.  If I don't see her eat anything tomorrow, I will be taking her to see the people at the reptile store to get some advice.  They said to bring her in if I was concerned and I am now.  With all the reading I have been doing about Bearded Dragons in the last few days, despite conflicting information from time to time, not eating is never a good sign....

Booster

Food: 3 or 4 witnessed (suspect a couple more)
Toilet: Yes
Behaviour: Booster seems to be energetic enough.  I have seen him chase down a couple of crickets that were roaming in the tank a couple of times today.  He seems pretty casual about it, but, it is pleasing to seem him at least interested in food.  His belly looks to be a healthy size without being big.

After doing a bit of reading as I said earlier, I am wondering if Booster is actually the girl!  Hand waving is reported to be a submissive gesture by female Bearded Dragons or less dominant males according to one site I read (read more here).  Also if you look at the picture at the top right of this page of the two Dragons basking, Booster is underneath and to the right, if you look at his\her head, it looks, to me at least, to be a little less pointed front to back than Lizzy.  This is an indicator of being a female as well.  It's still very early, so I could easily be wrong.  Time will tell.
