I wanted to introduce everyone to our new girl. She is on her way now from Denver, CO. Here's the tracking # if anyone wants to follow her flight: http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?loc=en_US&Requester=NOT&tracknum=1Z6ET1020195023418&AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes We have chosen the name Angeline (Angie for short) which means "messenger of God." I will post some new pictures tomorrow but these are the ones we have so far. She is part leatherback.

Here she is when Laszlo brought her home from the pet store on Feb 17th, 2012.

Val was surrendered to me as a male, and the black beards can fool you for sure. Hubby could tell by her head shape when she came out of the cat carrier that she was female, though. She looked like a girl to us. :)

Isn't it something how you can tell by the head shape most of the time. When we got Giz, he was so tiny & frail that we thought he was a female and named him Liz. Well, when puberty hit, we saw him with a jet black beard one morning and he was head bobbing & foot stomping across the room at Sabrina one morning. We were all in shock!

wow, that pic of her on her log... she looks a lot like our Xena... her eyes, too, and the way she is plopped out on her branch... same "ahhh, I'm so spoiled" look that Miss Xena always got ~ she is so beautiful Diane! :love5:

Yeah, anyone who says the girls don't get dark haven't met some of ours... Xena used to shoot a dark chocolate beard at Crash, it used to drive him nuts. And now Lexi does it... she tormented Draco all week that we babysat him... poor guy! When Coco is happy, Lexi, too, they get a neon orange in their beards... but make Lexi mad, its dark chocolate with mandarin orange and white/gray streaks.

Females can sure black beard when they want to, even if sometimes the beard comes out as chocolate, not quite fully black. Issy & Sweetie both brown bearded as I called it. Angel tried her best but she couldn't quite pull it off, but the males & other females all got the message!

Angie's beard is really BIG, has she actually black bearded yet? And the games she plays are so cute, she's become such a great member of your family, it's so cute to watch! I especially liked the sock toes on the tail game. My boys have never played a game with me, except "where's the food" or "when do I get out of my tank?" :mrgreen:

Thanks for all the pics, her colours get brighter every pic & you can sure see the gleam in her eyes, she's so content :love5: I'm glad she brings back memories of Sabrina & Misty, she's such a unique combination.
Give her a big hug for me & my crew!
I'll have to show the boys her pics & see what type of reaction I get!

Thanks Dawn. Have to admit that she is a pretty girl and she knows it! So you see a lot of similarities of her and Xena? Lexi and Coco's beards sounds very amazing.

Deb, it sounds like you know what we're talking about too. When Misty was about a yr old or so, she was showing off for Gizmo and I took a video because I wanted to make sure she was indeed a female because her beard was SO black. I double checked with Barbara and she said Miss Tiggs acts the same way so I found out who she got it from.

That was quite a puffed out beard that Angie showed, wasn't it? No, it has gotten dark yet although she spent most of the day pouting since she wasn't able to run around like she did Sat and Sun. When I got home today, she was on her basking log pouting away with stress marks all over her chest and belly and she had a slightly dark rim around the bottom of her beard. After I took her out, it took a little while (and lots of attention) before she showed her pretty colors again, can we say spoiled :?: :?: :!: :!: While in her bath, her colors were vibrant and she snuggled down on my shoulder with a blanket over her for while I stroked her back. Then when she was ready to go to bed, she was stroking my face with both front legs, so I guess she forgave me. :love5: That made us both feel better. Tomorrow she will get some run around time but won't be happy on Wed, Thurs, or Fri as she will be back in her tank all day again, I have to work this Sat so that won't help either. :roll:

My boys have never played a game with me, except "where's the food" or "when do I get out of my tank?"
That was funny the way you put that. :lol:

Hi Michele, I'm glad that the "pouty one" was your favoritist. :wink: We were relieved that the new cocoa butter stick helped too, always a concern when they have shed twice except for the end of their tail and it gets so much darker.

Hey you guys,

Hope everyone is having a great summer... Attached are pics of where I had Angeline, and now have "Dina the Dinosaur" :mrgreen:

Shes still very tiny, about the size of Angie when I swooped her up from the pet store. There's a current one in there too, of my Male Bernie.

Bernie is having a hopefully short bout with pinworms... Gave him his second dose of Panacur yesterday so he is trying to act happy.

Well hello Laszlo. I'm glad you posted some pictures, I've been waiting.

Dina is adorable, love her coloring. How old do you think she is? Looks like she is a leatherback. Is she nice & calm for you?

I like the look of those vivs. Did you make them yourselves? Which one was Angeline in before, the one on the right? When she gets a little bigger, we have one similar in color that she will be going in, it's much bigger than the 40 breeder she's in now and she would look lost in it even though she's 17 1/2" long already. :eek:

Poor Bernie having the pinworms, they are quite easy to treat and the Panacur works well so hopefully they will be gone by the time he gets his 3rd dose. Are you giving him a probiotic? That makes a big difference in helping them to be able to handle the antibiotic better.

Hope you come around the forum more often now and that things have finally quieted down in Colorado.

Hi Laszlo, your baby is so cute & colourful. Poor Bernie, as Diane said Panacur works really well, so hopefully he'll be back to normal soon. I just loved the vivs you have, so much room for them to run around in. Thanks for stopping in!

Wow, I didn't realize it had been almost a month since I posted on Angie's thread. :roll: She is doing very well, a little over 18" now and weighs 307 grams. She is so curious about everything and continues to invent new games, tonight she was diving back into her bath from my hand when I counted 1 - 2- 3 and would swim as fast as she could to the other side. She is so much fun and we are enjoy her antics and personality immensely. I took some recent pics of her that I have to download into PB if it cooperates.

Did you get your baby from petsmart? If so I emailed sandfire dragons where they get thier dragons from and sent pictures. Since the coloration of yours is just like the coloration in mine, they told me shes a red/gold dragon and could be but hard to tell from my picture that she may be a leatherback. Shes just so tiny its hard to tell if shes leatherback or not. But definately a red gold. You can go to SandfireDragons and look at the adults to see what she may look like as she grows up.

Hi Tonja, no, I didn't get her from Petsmart, actually got her from a member on this forum who lives in Colorado. He was having some problems getting her adjusted and wanted to find her a home so we happily adopted her. :p She does have some leatherback in her but I'm not actually sure of her heritage.

PB behaved very well, so here we go.

She's not too sure about the black plastic thing on HER basking spot.

Holy cow! Look at that belly! She got so big, so fast!
And you're right, Diane, she does still look like a little girl from the front.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
