repto Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 why do you think this one is skinny then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonz1833 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 she has always been flatter than the other ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 without seeing your tank or dragons I lean towards problems with not enough space and dominance issues between your dragons.They play mind games with each other without any physical violence that you may or may not see?How much food are they each getting?I had a tank with three young females in it and if I put a dozen locusts in there I could gaurantee that one would have gotten 1-2,the other maybe 3 on a good day and the rest would be had by the third.See if you can split them up into separate housing for a while or at least feed them one at a time for a few weeks and see if anything improves.

dragonz1833 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 ok i will feed them seperate and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 without seeing your tank or dragons I lean towards problems with not enough space and dominance issues between your dragons.They play mind games with each other without any physical violence that you may or may not see well done repto that is the main thing many people miss when housing multiple dragons the unseen threat, the alpha dragon in our set got skinny through constantly worrying about holding his dominant position and not feeding enough, no fighting was observed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varanophile Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 very small tank and too many heat spots....do you know what a 'cool spot' is. Not trying to be a smart ass but this is so basic...even if you googled you would know that this size tank is too small. Mouth open equals too hot...or broken jaw.
