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!

It's hard. There have been so many times where I wanted to just give away my extra reptile supplies to the people here. But by the time you pay shipping, you may as well have paid for it new :roll: I'd love to just drop by a few people's houses with cookies and butter worms. Dang long distance forum friends :(

Awww... that makes the happy tears. You remind me so much of Derrick. He doesn't post any more, he needed this site as an outlet and got himself on a better path, so I'm glad he doesn't need us anymore. But your sweetness makes me think of him :wink:

How do I remind you of Derrick and why isn't he on here anymore? I know I always make the best of friends online and they all live so far away. :lol: Stink world FTW

Derrick was just very sweet. He had personal issues (this is not like you :wink: ) His life was beyond ruff and it was hard for him not to slip back into bad habbits. But through it all, he was sweet and kind and loved his BD Charmander dearly. He's about your age too :wink: He's not hear any more because he worked very hard to turn his downs into up, and slowly had nothing to write about because he took care of his own stresses. He's a good kid at heart who now has a loving girlfriend and a bright future :wink:

He's just quite busy with life and his girlfriend so we don't hear much from him anymore, he does stop by once in a while and update but other than
that he's got a life that is just so busy.

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!
