Maesie: Growing up =)

Not open for further replies.
Hello everyone! I figured while I did introduce Maesie over in the intro forums, here would be a good place to post about her and her milestones and growing up.
I bought Maesie at a mall petstore on December 20th(Winter Solstice Eve!), and couldn't be happier with her!

Basically I'll post a bunch of pictures of her and track her growth and all that fun stuff. Right now she is 15.5 grams and she is 7 and a half inches long. I'm looking forward to seeing if she'll grow as fast as Scout did, who grew half an inch a week when he was her age! (I'm guessing she's about 2 months old.)

Right now she's waiting for me to take her out so I can feed her roachies, but this is how I find her sitting currently

If she leans back any further, she might fall!

Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to experiencing all the fun of a growing beardie again. =) I last had a beardie this small when I was 13, when I had gotten Scout. (I'm almost 18 now) When we got Riza, she was already an adult, so this should be a lot of fun!

So I haven't posted any updates in a really long time! The dragons are all doing great! Maesie is a girl, and she's just over 11 inches long from nose to tail I believe, and she just finished a full shed and her colours are beautiful =) She's become a picky eater, however. She hasn't wanted to eat many dubia, eating maybe 1 or 2 a day only to go back into her cave to lie down. But she doesn't seem lethargic or unhealthy, and she's not dehydrated, I think it's just a 6 month old dragon phase.
The big beardies no longer think of her as food and I've had several successful outings with the three of them together. Maesie armwaves at them a lot, though. And I wonder how Scout will handle it when she grows up to be a beautiful young bearded dragon lady =) He's already 'taunted' by Riza :lol:

Anyway, here's a buttload of pix!

The other week I went into my room to go see if Maesie wanted to eat(she's being a picky 5-6 month old and refusing to eat very much) and saw this:

Little stinker had crawled up her hammock and out of the cage! She was quite scared and didn't know how to get down haha. So I put her back in and lowered her hammock so she couldn't climb out again.

And last month, they got some nice sun outside. We've been having a lot of sun lately, and while it's making me feel icky, I've been taking the dragons out for some sun when I can and they really enjoy it =)

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
