I had a thread before this but I noticed that if a thread has at least one answer, it will go unanswered after that. I made a new one because I didn't get an answer I was looking for, they commented on a completely different topic.
So I got Vivid exactly 5 months ago on August 14th bc that's my birthday. I don't really know how old he was when I got him from the pet store. He's showing just a little bit of either very light brown or red stripes, black dots of course, and a small bit of yellow and white. I was wondering when his full colors will come in? I can see a small hint of his stripes coming in the last two pictures of what I posted, if those are his stripes. I got a few pictures of my cute guy, with pictures that also proves he's male. Pictures will be under my MBD rant.
Also, I know he has MBD so please don't comment on that. I've already taken him to the vet and she gave me advise on how to make sure it doesn't advance. When I first got him I admit my husbandry wasn't the best, I wasn't using the right lights, I didn't know that I had to dust the food with calcium. After about a month of getting him at the pet store, I was afraid he was going to die because they gave me horrible husbandry advise that I didn't know was bad at the time; he wouldn't move, and he was laying down with his eyes closed. That's when I took him to the vet and learned how to better care for him and prevent it from advancing. I changed my lights to a basking heat bulb and a flourescent bulb, I started misting more, dusting crickets and other food with calcium(D3) and it's turned around his health ALOT. Since I took him to the vet and changed husbandry, he's standing up more, he's walking all over the place, he's eating just fine (being such a ferocious eater), and he is much healthier now. I've taken all the steps to make sure that he would get better and MBD would not progress any farther.
