Baby Boom – Issue #8 (and final for now)

This is Bruce, not Charlie.  He is our last baby Dragon. 

The others I took into our local reptile pet store about a week ago.  As you can see, Bruce is quite small, but, he is going well.  I have held onto Bruce for a work colleague who named him and who has organised an enclosure and is going to give him a great home as a pet for his child.  A great outcome indeed!

This is the final post in the baby boom series and wraps up our first experience with breeding our dragons.  All in all it has been an awesome experience that our whole family shared in.  Everything from wondering if Lolly was pregnant to the amazing day when the eggs started to hatch has been fascinating.

It will be a long wait until next year, and I have not even decided if I should let them breed again or let Lolly have the year off.   I have received solid advice that it would be ok for her health wise, but, I’ll wait and see.

So for now and this breeding season, the action is all over.  What a great time it has been.  We’ll be back to business as usual from here on in.  Although we are heading into the colder months and Brumation is on the horizon!
