Like A Weed!!

Hey All!

So, Thomas Patrick Phillips has been home with me for officially three weeks now. I was going to wait a month before getting too excited, but it seems I'm doing something right, as this little guy is growing like a weed! He's eating bugs like it's his job! He's even munching at salads (after sitting in them for a while, or course), especially if I wiggle the squash in front of him so he thinks it's worms... :lol:

Here he is the first night I brought him home, December 8th, at 24 grams... Already showing that mischievous personality, it seems... ("It's bed time, get that light out of my face, crazy lady!")

(Working on a shed on his whole head and abdomen, poor thing)

And here he is last night, December 30th, at 50 grams!! (Now working on a shed for all his appendages, guy can't catch a break!)

Haven't measured his length, but he's definitely gonna be a big'un. Might have to open up the rest of his tank soon!

And, just because, here's his 'come hither' look...

Happy New Year, Everyone!!

Hi, Friends! Long time no see!!

Just thought I'd stop by to catch up and update you all on my adventures! (Please excuse my funny-looking sheds!) :)

First of all, me and Mama moved, I'm a city dragon now!

We had a super fun Farewell Party at Mama's favorite pub!

She taught me to play pool, and now the guys think I'm a shark, whatever that means... 8)

We also played some ping pong, and video golf. We talked to lotsa people about dragons and even got some humans that were afraid of me to change their minds and give me some pets! Mama said I could be a dragon ambassador. :D

After that, we went on something called a Pontoon Boat! (Don't worry, Mama and her friends kept a close eye on me and looked out for those scary birbs, too!)

We chilled at home for a little while...

But when I woke up, Mama said we were in some place called Georgia! Apparently I slept across four states! We spent some time hanging out by the pool... (I didn't want to go in the water, but even if I did feel like it, Mama said the pool was salt water, so there woulda been no yucky chemicals for me. In fact, the place we were was completely organic and no pesticides or herbicides at all were used on anything! It was super fun to be able to run around!)

Silly Mama forgot to take pictures, but we also met some giant things called Horses that lived there, and we ate some amazing fresh blueberries right off the bush! :D

Boy was it hot in this place, but I got to run around in the grass and cool down for a bit.

When we got back, Mama's friend let me take a spin in his '59 Corvette. I though the color suited me quite well. 8)

After all my adventures, I was pooped!

But don't worry, I still had enough energy for a couple more sexy legs.

Anyway, hope everyone is doing great and getting some awesome summertime sun!

Lots of love,

Ps. Mama says I should be finally done growing, at least she hopes so because I won't fit in her apartment soon!

Welcome back! I'm glad to see you've gotten such great adventures in =)


Thanks! :D We went on a mini-break to visit some friends and family- first vacation I've ever been on, and I'm almost 2!! Mama says I am spoiled rotten after all this outside sunshine time. :lol: 8)

Hey Everybody!

Long time no see! Just checking in on all my dragon buddies, since it's almost my 2nd Gotcha Day! Remember when I was this bitty? Almost 2 whole years ago!
89627-7287213225.jpg

I also want to introduce... The Intruders! (They are up for adoption, if anyone is in the Baltimore area or reasonable half-way driving distance)

Mama is fostering 2 rescue beardies! They were being sold on Craigslist along with 2 other little dudes. They are over 2 years old, but unfortunately are pretty stunted and will probably never reach 'average' adult beardie size. :cry: They were very undernourished, never had proper lighting or diet, were kept together ( :shock: ), and on yucky, dirty sand ( :puke: )!

We've been calling this little guy LB (Little Boy). He is about the size I was when I was 5-6 months old, and he is actually older than me! He is an eating machine, likes long runs down the hallway, and sexy-leggin' atop his salad. :lol: I guess he is kinda cute, but he's still an Intruder!

The other one we call Squirt.

She (the previous owner thought she was a boy!) is an amazing color-changing dragon! She came to us normal brownish-tan beardie color, but after a couple days of fresh salads, some baths, and some brand new lights (and also getting her own tank!), she turned bright yellow! She is also a fantastic eater, sometimes 2 helpings of salad a day, and she'll eat anything we give her! (She's very fond of bell peppers and butternut! :) ) Can you believe these next 2 pictures are the same dragon?!

They are both doing so much better than they were when they got here, and have gained around 25 grams each! They both shed most of their bodies, which is wonderful, because even after lots of baths and soaking, they were still pretty dirty. I even let them borrow Mama for snuggles... But only sometimes! :p

Unfortunately, they make me very angry, and I am not allowed anywhere near them. (Don't worry, the only time we were ever even out at the same time was in those two pictures, and we were all fast asleep!!) Mama even covered their tanks so none of us can see each other!
89627-6290539089.jpg

But enough about the Intruders, this is my story. I've been doing great, had as many adventures as I could before it got too cold. Here's when I climbed Fire-Wood Mountain all by myself to get the best sun spot:
89627-5527090942.jpg
And when we hung out by the fire afterwards (it was lovely and toasty!):
89627-7688564094.jpg

But alas, we already had our first snow and I can't play outside any more. So I'll just relax inside with Mama and enjoy a nice glass of the finest Scotch. 8)

Have an amazing day, Everyone, and Happy Holidays!

-Thomas Patrick Phillips

Ps. Seriously, if anyone is interested in adopting either one of the Intruders, please don't hesitate to ask Mama. She said we will not ship, but we are willing to meet up with forever homes at a reasonable half-way point. We are quite fond of them, but this is a One-Dragon-Household!! :x :D

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
Pearl Girl wrote on moorelori1966's profile.
i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
