Dawww

I just got my first little baby beardie, and I didn't know they get THAT big. OwO He's beautiful though!

yep. they dont get too much bigger than this really, so dont worry c8
you got a budde fo lyfe!

I'm not really gonna worry. They look to be the perfect size~
I'm still trying to get my beardie used to being handled and socialized. He only likes to be picked up for at least 15 seconds and wants to be put back down. x.x
But he loves some Parsley and crunchy crickets!

id suggest cilantro and collard greens if parsley is the only green hes getting. c8

and ohgod the fatter the better XD ALL THE MORE TO SNUGGLE
dont worry, they socialize fairly fast. just keep at it

I plan on getting him some greens tomorrow, since he ate the rest of the crickets we had. x.x
They look very snuggly when their that size~ I just wanna huggle him~ x3
I'm gonna keep trying. We had him for about two weeks now, and my boyfriend is kinda hesitant to pick him up most of the time.
And i've been looking for someone that has a beardie for advice on some of the things I tend to worry about, and the pet store guy didn't really help when I asked. x.x

yeah. they dont know what the fuck they talkin bout most the time

if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!

May I add you on Skype? x3

sure

It's a beardy <3

BEARDIEEEEEE

:D happy fat fat

HHNGGG

AWWW cute Bearded dragon. I used to have a dragon named Vex...but I had to part with him cause of my darn father. He was adorable and loved the blue sand that I put in his tank.

ohgahd you put him in sand??
nooooooooo



why did your dad send it off?

No he loved the blue sand.

And my dad had to sell him.

V.V He is okay though I visited him a bit ago

he may like the sand, but sand is dangerous for reptiles. they will ingest it, and impact them and kill them

It was more like pebbles. But he was good to it. :3 He loved being on the blue. I don't know why. But I don't have him anymore

Would you mind sharing your experiences handling a bearded dragon with me? ;w; I'm looking into getting one and I've read all about the dietary needs and all of those basics, but it's just not the same as hearing about an owner's baby from them personally!

well sure, i mean. what do you wanna know?

Hm! Maybe his favorite hideaways, or what you use for a feeding bowl that works well?

beardies love wedging themselves under things, so i would reccomend getting a variety of assorted large caves, logs, flatwood peices and just arrange them about. you will find out what spots and positions he favors and go from there. they know what they like!

as for feeding, a bowl isnt very effectice, as i go for more of a flat dish approach.

here is my set up!
a cave with his sleeping blanki *hes a spoiled baby and digs at the paper if i take it away
a few wooden fixtures. for him to climb on, rub on, hide under. it also doesnt hurt
*the water dish is actualy not really...needed. beardies dont drink still water. they drink falling water, so you would either need a water dripper to set over a dish. or just let him drink when you soak him once a week.

and see, the food dish is low on the ground. cant be knocked or bumped over, and is easy to acess for the beardie

Ooh! That food dish is awesome! & I'm glad to hear they like being under things, because I've picked out a ridiculous amount of hidey-holes c: My fella reportedly has been misted while he lived with his current family, so hopefully that, misting on his food, and bathing will get him enough water. If not, I'll try a lil bowl to see if he likes that, maybe he'll sit in it or something at least. D'you know how much water your boy has? I haven't seen anything anywhere about how much water they need.

misting their greens is a good idea. yes

typicaly the water in their food, and weekly bathing is enough. they are outstanding at retaining water. after all they ARE desert lizards c:

Oh, perfect! Thanks!
