Tid-Bits of Info

Charlotte, NC, United States
I'm a college student. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, though i prefer some to others. Recently I've been obsessed with Herps as a whole, not surprising actually. I blame Charizard, my big fat orange spiky monster.

Bath Time

We gave Charizard a bath yesterday, very cute to watch him scuttle around in only an inch of water. At first he was kinda afraid to put his face near it and wouldn't let go of my hand, but then he was swimming or trying to. He's shedding on his face so he dunked his face and scratched real good. It was adorable, he did this for maybe 10 minutes, according to Lyn from Carolina Dragons he should have a 15 minute bath. But Charizard wouldn't stay in his bath after scratching most of the skin off so i didn't make him. He seemed to really like his bath though, which is good. Since more parts of him may shed soon I'm gonna give him baths more than once a week.

Oh! The water dragon has a name now, He's called Tai. And apparently Ivan may be much older than he thought, he may be 6 instead of like 2-3. I knew he wasn't in the best health when we got him, due to his ribs showing but he still hasn't gained much weight. He may have parasites. Really hope not, if he is an older Basilisk then he only has maybe 2-4 years left with us. And because he probably was wild caught and wasn't being fed properly i want the rest of his life to be better and hopefully he'll warm up to us a little more.
