No leashes yet. Haven't needed one in the back yard. They either sit in their day cage or sit in my lap. Where do you get one. I can just imagine the danger if someone or something scared them in a strange place. Not sure if I am ready for that even if they are. I adore these guys.

if they are jumpy in the house i wouldn't take them on an outing.

once they can fit in a leash or harness and will stay still for a good length of time i would take them out.

Mr Dargon was probably about 10 months old when we started taking him with us to the petstore.

I take Diablo and Ash to MANY childrens programs. I do schools, Boy Scouts, Summer School programs. My dragons are really big. Diablo is 800 grams and almost 2 feet. He can handle being out for a few hours with no problems. We have even been out in winter. I take them in small dog crates with blankets.

My two guys are used to the neighbor kids and they are great. I also have a Frilled Dragon that I bring on occaision and I also printed some color pages and fact sheets for the lizards that I found online and I give out these handouts.

I find the kids are all excited and love the presentations. It is only the adults who think they are iguanas......I tell them Iguanas are not orange or white.....

I kinda want to get an iguana just so they can see the difference. But I don't have an extra room to put one in. I know how big they get!

The kids get a real kick out of my Frilled Dragon. I have a female NG Variant and she is only about 18 inches long. SHe is really small and she is in a 36 inch long x 12 wide x 36 inch tall viv with a waterfall and lots of climbing area. She fits perfect in there. She is 2 years old and my beardies are 3.

My brother & sis-in-law & my two nephews went to Mexico recently for an 8 day holiday & they said there were iguanas everywhere. They'd never seen one up close & personal & didn't realize how huge they get. They were very impressed with how calm & peaceful they all were, used to having humans around.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
