Hi, I’m new the the forum and I thought I’d introduce my son, Ness. I acquired him fairly recently and would always appreciate any advice on beardie keeping from a more experienced owner as he is my first. I rescued him and not really in a traditional way either, I found him really. I was walking to work when I saw him, in our very urban, very not a beardie’s native habitat, very along, and in a very feral cat populated are. He’s settled in quite nicely and since day one has hardly shown any signs of distress, (eating well, thought he’s mr picky when concerning non insect foods, drinking well, normal looking stool, basking nicely, has shed a few times, and has only shown a black beard once in the few months I’ve had him, etc.) Where I found him was definitely an area he could have been abandoned and from what I can tell, he’s docile, and doesn’t freak out when handling. Though last time I measured he was 16 inches in length, which leads me to guess he’s on the younger side, but I’m not sure.
