Clovis is always glass-dancing to go outside, but she HATES that harness. Whenever she walks she kicks at it with her back legs and puffs up to try and get it off. I have heard too many horror stories about people losing their unleashed beardies outside to risk taking her out without the harness, but I wish I could find a way to make it more comfortable for her. I'm thinking about trimming it down or just trying an iguana harness. Thoughts?
In other news, the Spiked Houdini got out of her viv four times last week when I was gone and my husband (who is not a big beardie fan) was in charge. I daresay she missed me! I'm trying her on actual greens again instead of baby food. She is turning up her nose at her kale. At least our grocery store sells loose kale and turnip greens so I can buy like 25 cents worth of greens and not have it go to waste. She never eats all of the baby food before it goes bad. Sigh. If Clovis the Carnivore had her way, it would be nothing but supers!

Clovis is a very good sport :mrgreen:

The hats are adorable. I saw in the other thread the pic of a puki riding her like a pony! I giggled.

I need to have my friend back up here for a better puki/beardie photoshoot! I also want to do a photoshoot with Clovis in her Mad Hatter hat with all kinds of buggies crawling around teacups for a macabre effect (for us) and awesome tongue shots of the lizard.

That would be awesome! Mad buggie party.

Keep offering the greens. She'll take them eventually. Odahviing took ages to start eating hers, now she eats a lot. I have a pen I made her for outside out of edging you use for your garden. She actually grazes on dandelion and clover in the lawn now.

She used to love squash, but has now decided that blueberries are superior, so recently she's been eating at least a couple of blueberries every day. I got tired of dripping baby food on her snout, and when she started attacking the spoon to get to the good stuff I decided to switch back to salads. Crazy goober. I hope she gets back on a squash kick; those are better for her than blueberries.

My Myah goes back and forth with squash. :roll: I mix it up so that one day it's baked, one day raw, one day acorn, next day spaghetti and so on. The hats rock! Gotta go with the blue! Love that shell!

The very picture of dignity, this one. Anyhew, I have been talking with a good friend and former professor of mine, and we are going to design a research project into the merits of therapy animals...and Clovis is going to star in her role as therapy beardie with my speech and language impaired students! We enlightened members of bd.org know what great conversations can result from beardie antics, and I plan to get some research data to prove it!


The Result of a Grand Escape by katiebread, on Flickr

I think Clovis will be happy to spend more time at school. She keeps escaping while I'm gone and chilling out in the bathroom to stare impassively at me when I get home and find her.

Clovis is adorable for SCIENCE and the CHILDREN!

That last one looks like she's holding her belly. Oh beardie pot belly. I love it so!

WOW! That's so exciting! I can't wait to hear the results! You'll have to make Clovis a 'graduation cap!' LOL! :lol:

Beardie pot belly is the best pot belly!
We still have a lot to do before the study gets underway. We need to get all of the permissions and hammer out a thesis statement and methodology, and then actually do the thing and write it all up. I'm pretty excited about it though. There is little research about this, even with animals that people associate more with therapy animals, like dogs.
