Maybe from the rain, but as far as the animation shows he was walking a fine line, high and dry pawses.

Turns out I didn’t have to sing to Bill. He got up before that ultimate step.

Jack the Refugee Dragon is trying to break out of his cage.

He didn't “miss” the cleanup, he evaded the job/jobs.

When I failed to do my designated chores, I “missed” various privileges, those being withheld until my attitude was re-adjusted in a demonstrable manner.

If my failure to perform such chores was of a critical nature, I "missed" being able to sit for the remainder of the day.

It didn’t work for me. It was just a still pic with magnifier option.

Did you try the link. I tested before posting and the animation page came up.

Oh.... forgot it’s one of your weird computers

I got him out of bed, made him wash up, and then had him drive his brothers to Mass.

DP says Jack didn’t have a heat lamp in his previous home. Now he’s sitting high on his rock, high up by the lamp, with his mouth open. “Aaaaaah .... heat!”

We’re going to move him into a bigger cage, and Santana into the smaller one, but we need more sand and Walmart only had purple.

Yes, my computer is definitely weird, and when it breathes its last, I will NEVER own or use another Dell from new Dellhi, TX, EVER.

Can they tell the difference in colors as opposed to just shades of gray?

Wow. Poor Jack. No heat? What a lousy thing for a dragon to endure. I’m glad he has a new home where he can be cared for by real people.

I don’t know. They can tell when another dragon changes his/her beard color, but I don’t know if they’re seeing “color” or just lighter/darker.

The problem with purple sand is that they ingest some sand with their food, and we don’t know if the purple dye would affect them.

It was pretty warm weather there at the coast, but too humid for his best health, and not as hot as Central Australia.

Elen plans to take him back to camp for Reptile and Amphibian Study next year, when she’ll be Ecology Area Director, and bring him home at the end of the season.

It might clump up in his digestive tract. Not good.

Great googa-mooga, but they need a whole mess of special stuff, lighting, heat, lizard mats, and on and on...

I see what that “impaction” is a serious concern. Sand sub-strates are not recommended...?

Sand is actually okay, if you give them plenty of things to climb on. We haven’t had any blockage issues with ours. Things run right through if they’re eating right, and a good warm bath helps, too.
