An afternoon in the life of Stella - LAZY. 1/26

Experiencing The Window for the first time:


Those damn birds are making him nervous! :shock:


It's Bathtime! Yay!


...the little booger figured out that he could use his froggie as a flotation device!

Very cute! He got toys in his bath! I better not let my beardie sees this...lol.

Yeah, that was the first day I put a couple toys in his bath.

I think he liked them! Especially his froggie, LOL

That's so adorable!!

His colours are gorgeous! How old is he?
I love his little belly : 3

I love the third picture down from the top, he's looking back at you over his shoulder like yeah I know i'm adorable. That's awesome he has bath toys, it's a great idea. I think I might try it for my beardies, they might enjoy something to play with.

Thank you! He is a Hypo Tangerine, and he seems to change from a light peach & lemony-yellow, to a rusty orange and some red - just depending on his mood.

Stanley is - lets see - just a little over 10 weeks old.

And his belly is HUGE, I know! :shock: Its no surprise, I guess - he eats like a little pig. I know you're supposed to let babies eat as much as they want, but I can't help thinking "JEEZ dude, shall I set up an all-you-can-eat buffet line for you?!?" And he WOULD eat everything. He has quite literally doubled in size since I brought him home 2 weeks ago.

I'm going to post some more pics I got of him tonight, where he is using his fat beer-belly to hold himself up on his hammock.

This is how I found him this afternoon, shortly after putting him back in his tank to warm up after a lively afternoon of exploring the living room. Please note the large beer-gut holding him up:


Here he is from the back - HAHAHAHA


And this is how he's holding on with both feet:


Oooop! Is that a sexy leg I see?


BTW, the blob on the branch is NOT pewp or anything else gross - its a repair made by me with a glue gun to patch an exposed screw in his climbing branch.

Thanks, I love that face! Yes, the toys in the bath were a pretty big hit - he kept licking them and using them to prop himself up! ...or climb on top of, lol

Ahh! So he's about Peep's age! : D
I just got Little Peep a bit over a week ago. (haven't posted pix yet, but that's him on my icon)
It's good to know that you can't really over feed these guys.
What's Stanley's diet like? And how often do you feed him?
Haha those pics you just posted are awesome! I love that one where his stomach is holding him up! xD
That is one talented lizard! : D

Oooh, Peep! I see him! I can't wait to see more pics of him!

Stanley's diet consists of about 20 small dubia roaches 2x a day (so about 40 total a day) plus a handful of crickets that I hand feed to him while he's out and "socializing". I dust his morning roaches with calcium+d3 powder 5x a week, and multivitamin powder 2x a week.

His daily salad consists of a bagged "spring mix" of assorted greens, then I add to it: squash, peapods, carrots and broccoli. I steam those to soften them up just a little bit, chop everything up and mix it into his bowl. He will either completely stuff his face with the salad, or fling it all over the cage. :roll:

I've tried to offer him some Reptiworms, but he will totally spit them out. Those were a no-go. :?

I'm thinking about trying mini-superworms soon - just for some variety.

Wow I love the beer belly pics! His facial expression is priceless. He's so funny!

You know, I didn't even notice that!!!! That's so funny!

I just grabbed the first hefty thing I could from the bookshelf to hold the vertical blinds off to the side.

The deck is beautiful - all of the cards have different dragon pictures on them!
