Elvis is in the Castle


Here is our Bearded Drgon Born (hatched) on April 30, 2007. He is the runt his brothers and sisters are twice the size of him. We had to remove him from the others a few months ago when (Godzilla) his brother tried to eat him. Elvis survived because I saw it happen (as well as everyone else in our 4H club).
We put him in a 20 gal long cage and are trying out a new product called "Excavator" made by Zoo Med. I like it so far. It seems to replicate it's natural enviorment (Hard Pan) which is hard compressed sand. Poop seems easy to clean up,. Just let it dry up a little first. Some of the clay crumbles up and the superworms we feed him crawl into the loose clay. This allows Elvis to sharpen his hunting skills. He digs for the worms.
