Actually the hump developes around 2 to 3 months of age in bearded dragons with 2 heads. (If you look at the pic's of them when they were little and there are more on page 1 of this thread.) All 2-headed creatures with the exception of snakes(they have no spine) have this hump where the spine splits even human siamese twins. As for the scoliosis it is in their lower spine and this is due to Wheezie being bigger than Zak. The spine had nowhere to go other than to curve.

Thanks again everyone for the Birthday wishes it means more than you know to us all.

BTW Diane.......love the cake! :wink: :lol:

Actually snakes do have a spine



Also another fact did you know bearded dragons do not have ribs made of bone they are actually cartilage.

Correction accepted!

I guess this makes more sense now:
"If limbs fell off from lack of use, I would be the proud owner of a beardie SNAKE!"

Thank-You! :wink:

Yaaay! Happy 17 month birthday Zak & Wheezie!
Barbara, we are all so proud of your little guys for doing so well! We cheer with you at each milestone! I'm sure I'm not the only one who is also inspired by the care you give to all of your beardies... we've learned so much from you!

HAPPY 17 MONTH BIRTHDAY TO ZAK-N-WHEEZIE!!!!

It's hard to believe, Barbara.................... boy the time fly's when your having fun!

17 months old, already!?! Boy, time sure flies when you are having fun!

Happy 17 month birthday to our favorite Zac-n-Wheezie!

HAPPY 17 MONTH BIRTHDAY ZAC-N-WHEEZIE!!

From the Hawkins Family. The kids loved the new pictures. You know they are Katherine's first favorite dragons.

Diane- We loved the cabbage cake. Bet Z-n-W would too.

Sandy and all

Again, congrats!

Zinger would probably steal a piece of that lettuce cake if I made one! :laughhard:

Diane, the cake is wonderful, bet lots of our beardies would take a bite! Z&W, you're 17 mo old now, and you're driving your mom mad with your brumation tricks, be nice to her 'cause she loves you so much :love5: :love5: . She's a wonderful beardie slave :notworthy: :laughing6: making sure you are given what you need to survive and thrive, and giving you lots of undivided attention. After all, you were like a beautiful broach on her sweater when you were babies. That's love for you, miracles that you are :love5: :laughing6: Try not to worry your mom too much, even though you have entered young adulthood, you can still pull at her heart strings continually

Hope you enjoyed your day, Z&W, Sweetie, Lonzo, Issy and the 4 babies being treated for bites, all say hope you had a great day and many more birthdays to come. Monthly birthdays are fun, you always get that extra attention. :roll:

Soon you'll be 1 1/2 years old, wow, that's a celebration and so close to Christmas, too. Hopefully you'll be more alert by then! Have a happy snooze, Z&W, but not for too long!

Deborah and Roger

Hey, whattya guys think about making Z&W t-shirts and selling them for money towards Z&W vet bills and beardeddragon.org?

T-shirts, keyrings whatever- I'll buy 'em. Just let me know when they are ready!

Good Morning Barbara,

Now that someone has brought up tokens of Z&W............. :idea: how about a key chain that has their footprints on it, kind of like a hollywood star......... but rather a plaster stamp using Z&W's prints. (much easier than a paperweight, I know, I know Barbara, I just can't let sleeping dogs lie :wink: ) There is something about actually having something that is a piece of such special boys. What do you think everyone?

Bugs and wishes to the clan,
Christine
