Weigh in day today. JT and I went through the routine of estimating the Beardies' size and then measuring them. We then had a good hold of Lolly who is starting to get very comfortable with me in particular. If she is being held by the kids, when she has had enough she tends to come over to me. Today she lay out flat and was going to sleep in my hand she was that comfortable.
The big news is that Booster had put on weight! But more on that later. I have also changed the layout of the site a bit. The main reason was that I wanted to add a slideshow of some of my favourite images. You can click on them to view them in my picasa album. I'll also update the My Dragon Images page soon to include them.
Lolly
Weight: 18 grams (+1)
Length: 19 cm
Food: 10+ crickets, bok choy
Toilet: Yes
Behaviour: Lolly wasn't too interested in eating in her tray today after her weigh in. Most likely because Danika was quite vocal and bumping the tray quite a bit. However, when I put her back in the enclosure she tracked down enough to take her tally up to over 10. As I said, she is getting really comfortable being handled. She didn't blink when I picked her up to be fed and was calm throughout the whole experience.
She has gotten a little bigger this week. She missed getting crickets yesterday because I was working, but, judging by her toilet activities today she chowed down on the bok choy instead. I took some good photos today that make up the bulk of the images in the new slideshow. Lolly certainly didn't seem to mind having a camera lense in her face as today was the first time I took photos from inside the enclosure and not through glass.
Booster
Weight: 10 grams (+2)
Length: TBA
Food: 1-2 crickets witnessed, bok choy
Toilet: yes
Behaviour: I actually saw Booster eating bok choy today for the first time. I am confident that he has done so previously, but never witnessed it. I also saw him take 1 cricket and I think he got another as well. This was loose in the enclosure, so I think I might have to go back to that way of feeding him for now.
Biggest thing was that he put on weight for the first time. He is still much smaller than Lolly, but, an improvement none the less. I might see if I can start handling him again this week.
