Squirmy Bob is a Rankins or Lawsons Dragon, which is a species of Agamid like the bearded dragon, just smaller and slightly different in care and personality. Squirmy came into the rescue in August 2012 and appears to have some severe neurological problems. His prior home tried to treat this as hypocalcemia and had him under a Mercury Vapor Bulb and on liquid calcium, but he never improved or worsened. Bob has a 10 gallon home with a paver, small food dish and shallow water bowl. He loves to play in the water and has a very funny personality. Feirce with his bobbing, he challenges everyone he can see in the rescue. We have given him a strategic place so he can see everything that goes on around him, and he seems to enjoy the view.
