Hi all. I'm new to the forum, and to bearded dragons. And my bearded dragon is new to the world. Not sure how young...but as you can see if you check out the pics he (she) is not much bigger than a newborn.
He (he for now...he's unsexed) took to his new home quickly, and is a happy alert curious beardie.
His name is Zigaboo. He had a big eating day his first day at home. two crickets while i picked him out in the store, and another 4-5 once home. plus a mealworm. He slowed down today though. He hasn't eaten greens yet, but he sure took to some berries this afternoon.
the temp of the house is 80 deg. Per the salesman I would be fine with a thermometer in the center of the tank....but I'll probably buy one for the warm size. My girlfriend, who has profesional experience with animal care - and has owned a handful of lizards herself, also assured me the temp of the basking area was nice and warm.
He likes being handled, and checks out the going ons in the room.. so i'm glad to say i have a happy healthy baby ziggy.
for some pics of him and his home...
