Ok i just got a mountain horned dragon for christmas : ) But all of these posts i am reading is getting me worried i dont really have the money for shots and vets but he or she ( how do i tell hemipenile bulge ?) seems to be active and sort of happy it ate like 16 crickets yesterday and probably has taken a drink i mist her and sprayed the leaves and wall and i asssume she has been saoking becuase i have seen fecies in her pool/thing. What is sort of worrying me is that every time i got to toch or pick her up she opens her mouth and hisses ! and i really dont want her to stress or die ! but maybe she is getting used to me, she is store bought , maybe she is pregnant or gravid if it is a female iv provided a drinking dish a small pool (working on getting pump) a hide space and lots of things to climb and trying to fing coconut bedding for him or her to make a nest. sHE LET ME TAKE HER OUT ONCE YESTERDAY AND THEN INSTANTLY RAN TO MY HEAD ! ( i know this is normal but when i try tried to take her off she bit me : ( she is on the ground and and in trees like hydrted and active , and sleeps well and her poop looks normal. should i really be taking her to the vet ? she might be non wild cauggth? is she pregnant? why is she/him so moody? why does id not want me to touch it? Also my mother who bought it for me says she held in in reptile wranglers ( in Barrie On.) and said that he/she didnt hiss or bite and just chilled PLEASE HELP ME OUT A.S.A.P. plus i leave the light/u.v.b light on all day and then just the .u.v.b light on at night wil this cuase problems i am trying to get heat things and timers !!!! im worried !
