Things have been progressing well with both Dragons. Both have been feeding well and look to be putting on a good size from what I can tell. I think we are getting the hang of things :-).
Lolly
Food: Crickets whenever offered. Bok choy and carrot are favourites, not so interested in squash
Toilet: Yes
Behaviour: Lolly has finished shedding her latest batch of skin judging by the collection of discards on covering the floor in recent days. JT and I have been enjoying looking at the old skin. She noticed that even the spines that run laterally along the side of her body shed with the rest of her skin. They look quite fierce, but are actually not sharp at all either after shedding or while they are resident on her body.
Booster
Food: 5-6 medium crickets every time. Sometimes more eager than others. Seems to enjoy the same veggies as Lolly
Toilet: Yes
Behaviour: Booster is still not keen to be picked up, but, is certainly becoming less flighty over time, which is very encouraging. He seems to be eating well still and had transitioned on to the medium crickets well now. Tonight I noticed that he was a lot more comfortable with them than when we started. I was concerned that it was too soon for Booster, but, am not worried now as, he looked fine with them. It is a little funny as they are pretty big compared to the small ones he is used to. He has an almost quizzical look on his face at times with his head cocked to the side to get a good eye on them. It's almost like each time he's making a decision based on hunger versus size of the cricket.
