So last summer my mom's neighbor comes running to my mom's house screaming that there is a monster under her porch! So my mom goes over to check out what could possibly be frightening this poor old lady.
Turns out she had been feeding the squirrels fruit from her front porch, and low & behold there was a full grown adult bearded dragon enjoying the harvest!
At the beginning of summer there was a house fire near by where two bearded dragons managed to escape. My mom remembered hearing about it. They found one but couldn't find the other, by the time my mom found this one the family had moved and she couldn't track them down so my mom let this one live with her box turtles until she could find him(or her) a good home.
We live in Oregon, I'm surprised that this little guy(or gal) survived so long! Thankfully we had a warm summer!
I found out about all of this about a week before Christmas (2 turtles and a full size bearded dragon in one 20 gal aquarium). My mom was desperate to find a better home for him(or her), and I absolutely fell in love with him! My 17yr old son had been wanting one for 3 years, so we decided to adopt him!
He is much happier in his own 50gal home! We are researching and learning as much as we can about how to properly care for Master Shifu (we believe he is male, but it's still up for debate as he or she didn't enjoy being put under such close inspection by our panel of judges).
This forum and all the articles contain such a wealth of knowledge! Thank you all!

I'm not sure how old this guy is, but I imagine a few years at least.
