Hello all! New beardy owner here.

[RukiTabuki]

We just got this lovely guy/girl on the 7th and I do not regret it in the slightest. He has a beautiful personality and LOVES to eat those crickets and calci-worms.
If anyone has advice for a new owner please feel free to share. He's about 13 weeks old and 8 1/2 inches long. and a ferocious eater. :lol:

Welcome!

Best advice is to spend some time reading around on this site. There is lots of knowledge here.

Welcome to the Forum! I like your dragon.
If you haven't decided on a name yet because you don't know the sex I might have some pointers in determining the sex.
Look right below the tail area and hind legs on the bottom side, by his/her behind. If there are two large noticeable balls/bulges (Hemipenes) on the sides its a male. If there is one predominate ball/bulge in the middle than it is a female. You might have to feel with your fingers but you will feel something there.

One important thing to be checking on often is the temps. They should very so that one spot is for basking and another quite cooler. I believe but not positive, 75-80 degress on cool side and 95-110 for the basking area. Anyone with more accurate knowledge feel free to correct me. I personally use a digital thermometer to check temps in my tanks.
