So my wife and I recently bought a little bearded dragon from an exotic pet store near us. I’ve enjoyed reptiles all my life and owned quite a few as pets over the years(first beardie though). My wife was a little hesitant when we first brought this little guy home. She works from home and spends most of the day around 5 ft from Gus’ tank. Over the past two weeks Gus has grown on my wife to the point where we argue over who gets to hand feed him his roaches!
We have done everything we can to provide Gus with an amazing home. His tank is currently 40gal but we are waiting on 120gal Zen Habitat. We have a 36in T5 UVB and a 150 watt heating bulb. Gus enjoys mostly Dubias, but will also eat BSFL and occasionally he’ll eat his a piece or two from his salad. Gus does not like bathes but does enjoy being out of his tank. Lately he will glass surf just to get our attention and be taken out of his tank. Every night a few minutes before Gus’ lights go out we will see him climb up into his foliage where he spends the night. I know Gus is still small (7.5in and 15g) and young (2 months) but everyday is a new adventure with him.
