Hi Bonnie! I'm in Central Vermont, near Montpelier. SW NH, near west Lebanon at all? They have a great pet store down there, amazing aquariums. Thank you, Spyro was a hard loss, mostly because my two year old doesn't understand what happened.
Yes I had another beardie, Ginny. She was my 13th birthday present, I had her for nine years, and she and I went through middle and high school and my first apartment together. She died while I was pregnant with my son, I was practically hysterical (hormones!).
I am definitely considering a rescue adoption, although it would have to be the right fit. Maybe one in need of a good home and solid nutrition, without any "special needs" such as specific medical treatment. Something to cut my teeth on, so to speak. I would love some more info on the rescue group.
Cheers,
~Amanda
