Recently purchased a frill neck lizard and have never owned one before. Can anyone tell me there likes and dislikes, feeding tips and handling advice? Complete newbie! Is he even a frill neck or is he a dragon? Help lol
Hi, you definitely DO have a Frilled dragon, in order to offer further advise can you show the whole enclosure and give details of the conditions including ambient and basking surface temps, the humidity range and how you measure all those, also type and wattage of heat bulbs and UVB tube/bulb?
Unfortunately he had to be put down today as we took him to vets and found out he had bone disease. He hadn’t been looked after by previous owners properly, so sad and really gutted as we’d got so attached to him, just wanted to update the thread in case anyone else commented, thank you all.
We rescued him from someone that no longer wanted him and had only had him for 3 days, Google’s loads of stuff and brought a whole new set up but he wasn’t eating or drinking and noticed him drooling so took him to vets and when they tried to feed him he was coughing up blood so advised us to put him down, he was only 3, really really upset
Thats awful, i'm sorry you had to come across something like that.
Have you gone back to who you got it off and told them whats happened? They should never have had a reptile if thats the condition they got it into, poor guy.
We have but they have said that they only had it for a year and it wasn’t there fault. Really unhappy and missing him, amazing how attached you get after only a few days
I believe the OP already said he was put down.
This is the sad truth about keeping reptiles, if you dont provide a proper environment and care, they will not survive well at all, if not actually die for complications from it.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
