Terri's funny looking shedding

Terri has been shedding a lot recently and she has flappy skin all around her neck and it looks really funny. Steven seems to be finished shedding but Terri keeps going on and on. Now I know why Terri makes so much noise at night. She is scratching herself against the log to help her shed her skin. Steven isn't as loud, he just goes up into the corner of the hiding box. Even if I haven't turned off the light yet and it is late at night, Steven still goes up into his corner of the hiding box. Steve and Terri are going very well though, they are eating, they are drinking and they look very healthy, and now I can hand feed them veggies. We have got another lizard which is just a garden skink. The reason why we kept him is because he had lost two of his legs on one side and he couldn't survive in the wide, so we decided to keep him. His name is Jason, and he eats the crickets just like Steve and Terri but he doesn't hand feed and he doesn't jump for them. He also eats veggies. I will post a photo of him tomorrow.

Shedding!!!!

Today we discovered that Steve is shedding his skin. In the photo, (in the bottom left corner) on his tail, near where you think it would be Terri's foot, you can slightly see the skin coming off.

Funny Sleeping Dragons

This is how my dragons sleep. I don't know why they do it but it looks really funny but really cute and it looks like they are hugging.

They bath in the water dish

Yesterday Terry didn't seem to eat as much as usual and now I have discovered that Steve is larger than Terry, but when I got them Terry was larger and they have both grown larger.

But today Terry is eating a lot and a lot. She is eating more than Steve even, and because we don't have small crickets, I just snap the larger ones in half. Because the abdomen is a little too big, I just put it in between my fingers and then I offer it too them. I have a tug a war with them and they they have to snap a bit off and I give the little bit left to the other one.

Today I built them a hide box out of a Koala Crisp box that I had finished this morning. I cut two little holes in the side and they like to run in them. I put a hole in the top and they come in and out of it and then I put a second layer on so they could sit up there and get more UV light.

I put a water dish in, because they need water. Before that they were too little to have a water dish because they would drown in it. And now they like to lie down in it and bath in it and today I saw them cuddling each other in the water dish. They go in the water dish to cool down because it is nice and cool and they like the water in there. After they have been in the water they go back into the heat to warm up.

Now Ollie, here is the answer to your question. I didn't realise the plate had exploded. Mummy told me but I didn't hear and later I looked in the microwave and found that it had exploded and the food was completely black.
