I got my beardie back in febuary. i didnt expect to bond so easily with apollo if im being honest, but since that first night i got him all i do is bond with him as much as i can. I wake up i feed him wait a little bit for him to do his business let him play on the couch before work. Come home feed him then we set on the couch and watch tv together. He is 4 or 5 months now and easily one of the best things in my life. On warm days i take him out with me and alot of people wonder how i have him so well behaved. (You know after they look at me like im crazy) since i got him this has been my go to site for all of my questions. Thanks everybody!
Unexpected love

I'm glad to hear you're bonding with him so well. It's amazing how much they can change our lives =). Please let us know if you have any questions and keep us updated on his progress and adventures

Welcome to the wonderful world of bearded dragons a magical land of mystery, enchantment, cuddles, love and, worry! A magical realm where things always seem to change in an instant and, the moment you think you have it all figured out, the rules change! You think you own your dragon?, Ha Ha....guess again..... Like it or not, you are now a slave, lol
Yes, they do have an uncanny knack for pulling on our heart strings! Cute little buggers!

Extremely cute pictures. Looks like he gets around!
BTW, do you have any other thermometers besides those dial things that stick on the walls of the tank? They tend to be inaccurate. Digital probes are a better option, and some people like to use infrared temp guns, although I'm not too familiar with those myself.

Its the only thermometer i have right now... i plan on getting another one i do have one question though... i see the heating pads that you can put under the tanks and was curious if those were any good i need something to keep my little guy warm at night i have a night heat bulb but i hate changing it out all the time... and i know all about being a slave to him though i wake up to him staring at me now and hes started trying to delay me from going to work if hes not carried around before then

It is very important that the temps in his viv drop at night to 70° or 75° for his metabolism to slow down so he can actually get rest. Any type of light emitting source will disturb his sleep patterns making him lethargic and grumpy. If your house temps drop to 65° at night, you can use a CHE, "ceramic heat emitter", it puts out no light at all.
We all learned these things over time, fortunately you have come to the best place to get everything you could possibly need to know about these cute little critters. EXCEPT..... Why they are so bossy, lol!

Well i got the bulb because my boyfriend likes keeping it cold at night so his viv was getting down to 60 degrees so i got the bulb to keep it at a better temp he doesnt seem to mind it but i also put him in his viv at night when hes been asleep for a few hours otherwise he latchs to my fingers or runs up my arm lol
