Frilled Dragon Horror Story (long story)
So here is where the horror story begins...especially for a new owner. We get him home and he was acting strange almost dizzy...couldn’t walk well but still wanted to be active. I myself thought it was because he was trapped in a smaller cage the entire time. And thought he would recover once we got him into a larger enclosure. (mind you it was late at night when we got him) So, Next day I am babysitting him while my boyfriend is at work. I notice then he was a bit skinny but no real issues there because I can fatten him up. Something tells me if I were a mite or a tick where would I hide on this precious creature. Instantly I looked under his flaps and oh the HORROR!!! A mite and tick infestation like no other! I had to work on him for an hour and a half to safely wash off and remove all ticks and mites. The poor thing wasn’t too happy about all of this but he/she was a good sport throughout the process. I have never in my life seen so many nasty crawling creatures on such a tiny baby lizard in my life. Oh, and the horror doesn’t stop there then I decided to look at his vent area. I pulled down the vent a little and in the corners there were more ticks sucking away on my little friend. I got those off carefully too. I marched myself back into the pet store and told them what I had to deal with all day. I was expecting to get some sort of mite spray for free since we paid so much for him/her but no they gave me a 2 dollar discount on the mite spray. I was so mad. Not to mention how much stuff I had to clean and get rid of in his brand new home. All the new substrate gone. A lot of money down the drain. This Frilled dragon would have most likely died within 2 months at the most from this. The poor thing was anemic and had to be nursed back to health. It’s been about 3 weeks and he is eating solid food on his own and getting around better. I am sure his muscle will build and he will be able to run around a lot better.

A pet store in my city had 2 frillies since they were babies, and because of the price they stayed in the pet store for 4 years, until death. They were asking $650.00 for each, and even after a few years of lost profit they refused to lower it any...so they died....Your dragon is truly blessed! xoxoxo<-----to baby frillie! Have you named him/her yet? |

My boyfriend named his cat "Awesome Electric Joe Boogaloo"....that’s the most ’creative’ name i’ve ever heard! |
