Acknowledgement ?...........
I moved the Christmas log out of Puff's tank as he was starting to have some trouble climbing on to it. Being an older Dragon,his leg muscles are starting to loose some of their strength. He has fallen off of this log several times and landed upside down. So far he has been able to right himself but I am concerned that he might be caught in a way, between the branches, and not be able to right him self. Dragons can suffocate if they are left or held on their backs too long.Any way I took it out and replaced it with a rock that can double as a basking rock or a small hide. He can get to his waterfall by climbing up on this rock. He has also already discovered that if he digs in,he can some what hide him self.If his tail or head sticks out,he can still get some UVB light.I also placed another log next to the rock that he can also climb on and get to the waterfall.This one has no branches. I gave the Christmas log to Lilo. She has discovered it and has been basking on it all morning. I discovered this morning that Puff has been climbing up and down to the water fall. I watched him for a while and he would get up into the water and would sit there and watch Lilo as she was basking on the Christmas log in her tank. From time to time,she would open an eye and catch Puff watching her. She would reposition herself on the log and would stare at him. Puff would then climb down and go to the other side of his tank and then look back to see if Lilo was still watching him. Them he would climb back up into the waterfall and watch her again. If she opened an eye to watch him,he would then leave again. This procedure was repeated several times until Puff decided to take a nap on his basking log. That is where he is now.I think they are starting to acknowledge each other. Puff and Lilo, the Golden Dragons,to be continued...................
