Is Noodle something I can put in a bowl and laugh at? No she is just a sweet bearded dragon that I instantly have fallen in love with. MY story of how I got to Noodle is a long one but I'll try to make it short just for pictures! Anyway most of you know how I first got introduced in to beardies. And for those who don't I'll tell you my happy tale, so sit around my campfire kids and roast some marshmallows its Story Time!

I first encountered bearded dragons when I went to my first Repticon back in 2006 with my step dad, my friend's dad, my friend, and me. While I was there looking at all the cool animals I noticed upon a type of lizard. What got me about this lizard was it had SPIKES!. I was instantly confused, Are the spikes pokey and do they hurt? Are they more for show than dangerous? Are they both for show and dangerous? I just kept looking at the lizard in utter aw. Well it was time to go and before we left I found out the name of the lizard was a bearded dragon. And after that all I did for years was look on the computer at them, watch videos of them, read books about them, and dreamed about them! Anyway fast forward to today and I finally have a place I can call home for my future bearded dragon and myself for now. :lol:

Now here is the story about how Noodle came to become mine. After knowing for sometime that I was going to move to my mom's house. I started talking her into a bearded dragon. At first she kept saying NO! but with much persistent I budged her a little to say that she will think about it. Well one day I was browsing the For Free section of this forum for fun like I normally do. And I saw a post where a lady, Michele, was looking for a good home for her 2 year old baby, Noodle. I instantly posted because she said she was located in Atlanta and with me moving to Woodstock she was only a 30 minute drive. Me and her started transferring emails about Noodle. Michele told me all about Noodle and I knew I wanted her. We talked on the phone and decided that the 13 of April I could come visit Noodle. (Wish I got pictures of my visit but my phone was dead :( ) Anyway I told her about my situation of moving because school was almost over for me and about me moving campuses. She told me that if I was really serious into taking Noodle she would give me her entire setup and hold Noodle until May when I decide a good date after I move to come and get her. My mom was surprised about her giving me Noodle's setup because I'm not gonna lie I was too she told me they spend $200 on her tank and all she wanted was for Noodle to go to a good home so she was willing to give me everything.

Well thats my and Noodle's story. IT has only began but we have a huge journey ahead of us. For now Pictures!

BTW Matt, We have had 7 beardies so far and all are girls. Rosie is the only one who has laid eggs and she has laid one on one day, two another week, one a couple of weeks later and so forth. Lil Squirt is to young to worry about eggs yet. We think that Miss Y (one of our first two beardies) laid a couple of eggs but with our lack of knowledge about beardies at that time we aren't sure.

Yeah I have read all about your awesome time with Miss Y and Miss , its amazing to see that out of the stories of beardies only tolerating other ones for mating even females not wanting another female near its still amazing to see Miss Y and Miss O get along so well. I can tell you miss them and I know that they were really happy with you guys.

Yes, they knew they were loved. Miss O was a unique beardie (all beardies are unique) but she needed to be loved. As soon as she knew we loved her she was happy and content with us.

That's actually very good to know. Eggs scare me too. It just seems to be very hard on their little body's. Now that Myah is up to a healthy weight, I find myself looking at that belly and thinking "Oh, no you don't!" LOL! :lol: I honestly think eggs are like brumation, it gets easier after you've been through it :wink:

Hi Matt, you'll just have to see about eggs with Noodle. All my females except Angel (who had serious MBD) had eggs, Sweetie started at 2 yrs old and lay eggs until 5 1/2, Issy started at 19 months and I was so hoping she wouldn't. My girls have since passed away and now I have only boys, and specifically for that reason. So here's hoping that Noodle decides that having eggs is a no-no!

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
