Special Needs Fosters...

This is Foster Ricki, or Foster Ricky...because of the crumpled bulge at the base of the tail, it's difficult to do a flashlight gender test.  I do believe he's Ricky, because he "headbobbed" Carrie, a female...lol. Ricky just went through a shed, which was hard on him.  He's feels much better now and is back to his normal jovial self.  Because he had Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD), his care would include baths every other day, top notch UVB like the T5 High output, and help occasionally with eating.  Although he's pretty good at accessing his bowl!  

This is Foster Angel...she also had MBD as a baby, and even though she's smaller, is older than Ricky!  Angel's MBD caused her two front legs to fracture.  She was treated at UC Davis Vet Clinic and has had months of recovery.  In September 2016 she weighed 46 grams, and today she tops out at 275 grams!  She will always be petite, but is a ravenous eater and might gain even more weight!  Angel's front legs are functioning and getting her around just fine, but her front feet don't "grip" like a normal dragon.  The feet also have a difficult time shedding, probably blood flow to that area just isn't ideal.  Angel's special needs care includes baths every other day, and High Output UVB like the T5.  She's a feisty gal and full of personality!
