Angie, Loki, Laura & Dozer (new pics 03/29/15)

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.

Here she is eating a small dubia roach.

I've noticed that with other females, but surprisingly Rogue isn't all that curious. She's more layed back. She does love getting into trouble and scaring me though. :lol:

See, I told you, females.....................

 

[sweetiepie9]

I agree about the females, but some males can be trouble makers, Didi and Gabriel for instance, they keep me on my toes all the time!
But what I like most about Angie is the games she likes to play with you and Paul, so cute

Happy 9 month birthday to Loki.

Will have more pictures to put up later.

Loki's 9 months old already?!?! Goodness, where did the time go!

 

[diamc]

More pictures as promised.

Loki
His colors are getting brighter especially under his new Arcadia 80 watt MVB.

He's a big boy already.

Angie
"Isn't it about time you got me out?"

She is fascinated by power tools and none of their sounds scare her.
"MY screwdriver, I have lots to do."

She was trying to operate the screwdriver by herself. Look at that smile. :lol:

Paul was running it here and she loved it, guess she thought she was helping him lol.

 

[Goonie]

Look at how yellow Loki's beard is! It almost looked like someone colored his beard with a yellow highlighter.

Angie is an independent girl who can do anything that a boy can do, and better :wink:

(hey, I have the same blue mug!)

 

[diamc]

Isn't his coloring something?!? The new MVB really brought them out. We just one for Angie too. Never thought I'd go back to using MVB's but the Arcadia's are awesome! Having a Solar Meter helps too.

All we have to do is push the trigger on the power drill or screwdriver and she gets all excited. She has to sit on Paul's shoulder to tighten screws, she thinks she's really helping. I imagine she'll be in the middle of a lot of projects we have planned. :roll:

The 2 of them are SO different. Loki is very laid back, easy to make happy unless he thinks Josh isn't spending enough time with him, then he climbs under his stone hide and plays turtle with only his head, tail and back end hanging out.

(We have a set of the blue mugs, just the right size.)

 

[Goonie]

Angie's not only daddy's little girl, but she's also daddy little helper
Awww, Loki sulks in his hide if he didn't get enough attention from Josh. What a cutie pie!

 

[beardie parents]

Happy 9 month birthday, Loki. I was soo busy all day yesterday I never had the chance to wish Loki a happy 9 month birthday, nor Squirt either.

HAPPY 9 MO BIRTHDAY LOKI

I can't get over that yellow beard, it's like neon! He's sure is a handsome boy & getting so big, too.

Angie is so funny, I can't get over that she loves power tools and look at her working that screwdriver :lol: I'll bet she's into all the projects you do this summer, better watch out, she's be the contractor soon

Thanks for the pics Diane, they're so special

 

[diamc]

Yes Gina, she is daddy's helper already!

Thanks Lori. It doesn't seem possible that they will be 1 yr old in 3 mos, does it?

Thank you Deb. Isn't that beard something? Puberty hasn't seemed to hit him yet, have never, ever seen a darkened beard although it may stay pretty yellow anyway. Will have to wait & see.

Angie is something, isn't she? She's our "chameleon beardie", her colors can change instantly. Never any doubt if she is happy or pouting. :lol: I'm trying to find an iguana harness and leash like we had for Sabrina but can't seem to find one. The other types are too confining for her and she just stops walking and lays her head down when she has them on. We know she is gonna have to have one as she will be persistent about being in the middle of all of our projects. So, I'm still on a search.

Yes, they are both very special, thanks. :wink:

I bought 3 harness leashes from http://www.oglerpets.com/lizard-leashes.php and I am very happy with them for my growing beardie.
Enjoy!

I got Rogue's here:

Thanks Joyce and noelerhard. I had actually tried those types of leashes over the years but all the beardies found them too confining and they wouldn't even move around, just sat still with their heads down. They didn't seem to like the area across their chests but really liked the Four Paws iguana leash & harness like this: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=four+paws+iguana+leash+and+harness&go=&qs=n&form=QBIR&pq=four+paws+iguana+leash+and+harness&sc=0-5&sp=-1&sk=#view=detail&id=8FD04415005CB97E68C6A0E96DFD87E779523C09&selectedIndex=39 I will let you know how it works out. :wink: We just got it today.
