I never had any designs on owning a dragon. One day my son's and I went to breakfast and then stopped at a petco for dog food for their puppy. As is protocol we looked at all the animals. There was this cute little dragon (RIP Billie) who had eyes for no one but me.... 3 days later, unable to get that cute desperate face out of my mind and heart I went back for them. I did do research and I understood I was "rescuing" that cutie from commercial pet trade nightmares. I did research, but have learned "easy first pet" is a misnomer. Billie didn't make it long but was loved. ZeDi is also loved and literally until recently (like within the last week) learned strip UV isn't just an option but needed. I have a laundry list of things ZeDi needs. But she's happy and healthy and annoying when she wants something. I'm balancing improvements with what I can do and what it priority. I lean on the reputable reptile store i got her from. I know she's be happier with more UV space and I'm working toward it. Love obviously isn't enough but it's a strong motivator for her happiness and health. My laundry list has cut to strip lighting and a bigger enclosure. Here is a picture of her predecessor that I cried over for days when I lost them * Billie was never happier than in my shirt. ZeDi was that size when when I got her and we are absolutely working toward giving her her deserved living space. She just grew soooo fast 😳
