Very handsome though none the less.
I know, he/she had that when I bought him. The Vet isn't in until Mon or Tues.

It's just the way we were holding him-I thought it looked a bit funny in the pic!

So, one says male, another says female...anyone else have any idea to confirm?

very nice! i was going to get a plated but then our beardie arrived and foiled our plans LOL....out of interest are you keeping him on sand? if so i would get that out and keep him on paper til the abcess or whatever is sorted, and then keep him on dry eco earth or similar.....also a nice soak for 10-15min in luke warm water may do him the world of good, and help get rid of some of his shed.....i had one years ago and shedding time was a nightmare! lol he never seemed to get it all off without a good soak and a bit of a rub down.

He looked to be in shed in the shop for a couple of weeks, and he was really dry when we got him so he now has permenent access to a wet moss hide, which he has used quite a lot, and he looks a whole lot better now. He is on sand at the moment, but yes, considering his toe, he probably would be better on paper for a while. Never seen eco earth, is it like forest bed at all?
