It has been monitored on a weekly basis and has grown very little (~1mm) since then. The lump sometimes causes dirt to accumulate in the corner of his left eye. A picture has been included. In the past, the pupil of his right eye has become misshapen. It does not appear to impact his vision, and the pupil appears normal currently. A picture has been included<br/><br/>Handling score (0-10): 7 <br/>Growlithe is typically friendly but is a great escape artist. He was the first dragon to ever get away from an animal caretaker. His colour and temperament are where his name comes from.<br/><br/>Appetite score (0-10): 5<br/>Growlithe is relatively easy to feed bugs by tongs. He also readily eats his salad if he is hungry.<br/><br/>Personality: Energetic and curious of his surroundings! Growlithe does not dislike people, but seems to enjoy exploring more. After closely examining his behaviour in a variety of settings, it is clear that Growlithe is typically operating with some goal in mind – but the goal is not always clear to him!<br/><br/>Recommendation: Growlithe would likely adapt well to a variety of homes but should not be handled frequently. He would enjoy enclosures with substrate and lots of places to perch.<br/><br/>ENCLOSURE:<br/>The bigger the better, but no smaller than 48" x 24" x 24" for an adult.<br/><br/>SUBSTRATE:<br/>Bearded dragons will do best on a substrate that they can burrow in. A mixture of soil, sand, peat moss and mulch is fantastic. There are many myths surrounding impaction, however this will not be an issue provided all other parameters are met inside your enclosure. <br/><br/>HIDES:<br/>Offer ample hiding space with at least one hide on the warm side and one on the cool side.<br/><br/>LIGHTING:<br/>Bearded dragons require a day and night cycle, as well as UVB during the day. A basking lamp as well as a 12-14% T5 for UVB is required. <br/><br/>TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY:<br/>75-80°F on the cool side and 85-90°F on the warm side. Basking spot should be 95-110°F. Humidity levels are best between 40-55%<br/><br/>DIET:<br/>Omnivores. A mixture of insects and vegetation is required. Insects such as crickets, BSFL and cockroaches are great staples, with occasional superworms, hornworms and silkworms as treats. Leafy greens such as collard greens, dandelion greens, swiss chard, and carrot tops are great, paired with other vegetables such as bell peppers, sweet potato, butternut squash and carrots. Fruit sparingly as a treat. <br/>Avoid items such as romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, cucumber, etc. as these are high in water content and low in nutrients. Avoid feeding large quantities of kale over extended periods of time. <br/><br/>WATER:<br/>Offer fresh water from a dish at all times.<br/><br/>SHEDDING:<br/>Increase humidity during shedding. Shedding happens over a few days in pieces. <br/><br/>TEMPERAMENT:<br/>Bearded dragons can be very personable and inquisitive pets. Great beginner lizard, but require lots of space and enrichment! <br/><br/>LIFESPAN:<br/>Bearded dragons live for an average of 12-15 years.
