hypo trans
luna
female2 years420 g
luna is a 2-year-old hypo trans bearded dragon. she's calm with handling and tongs-fed since she was a baby, so she expects routine. she basks hard in the mornings, then mellows out by mid-afternoon. shedding cycles every 6-8 weeks. brumation is mild for her - usually a slower week in mid-january, then back to normal. if she stops eating for more than 4 days, weight check her and message me. otherwise she eats like a tank.
