As you can see, JT and I had the dragons out for their weigh in over the weekend. It was a good opportunity to clean out the den as well. I tried to grab a couple of photos to demonstrate the size difference between to two of them, but, of course, they didn't want to pose for us.
We set up one of the trays with a small desk lamp to keep them comfortable while I busied myself with a touch of a spring clean. JT stood watch and made sure they were comfortable.
JT's cousins, uncle and aunt and her grandparents came over that night for dinner. The Dragons were great hosts. Lolly came out and was happy for everyone to have a cuddle and more than happy to eat food offered by anyone (little guts that she is). All the kids had a hold and a feed and seemed genuinely thrilled at the opportunity for a close encounter. Booster stayed in the den. Whilst he has been improving with contact generally, I didn't want to overwhelm him with so many people at one time.
Lolly
Weight: 125 grams (+25)
Length: 32 cm (approx.)
Food: Meal worms, strawberry, crickets, bok choy, etc
Toilet: Regular
Behaviour: Lolly has been continuing on her merry way. She eats anything and everything. We started feeding her some meal worms in the last week or so as a treat. She ate them straight up. We also tried strawberries and she ate them as well. Her favourite is still Bok Choy. In the photo to the right, she is the one underneath, looking to the bottom. It's hard to tell from this image, but, she is literally over twice Booster's weight.
She continues to be very comfortable being held. More recently she has been coming to the front of the den when it looks anything like food might be served. She would climb out if she could I am sure. I might have to look at rigging up a way in and out for her. As much as that might concern the matriarch of the family.
Booster
Weight: 53 grams (+23)
Length: 26 cm
Food: Meal worms, strawberry, crickets, bok choy, etc
Toilet: Regular
Behaviour: Booster has had an incredible weight gain in the last two weeks. He has been very keen on his food and this has obviously been reflected in his growth. He's put on nearly half his weight in two weeks! He is now regularly taking food from our hands when we offer him crickets or meal worms inside the den. I have been very happy with Booster's eagerness for food and general well being. Who knows, one day he might even catch up with Lolly.
You should have seen the big bit of skin that Lolly lost. It was so big!
