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.

Congratulations!Glad she arrived safe, I'm sure she'll tame down too and eventually just glare the infamous stink eye here and there :roll:

Oooo, what a beauty! :love10: :love5: She looks so perky1 I think I'm in love.

Ramoth is watching as I read. S/he says Hello to the pretty new dragon! :mrgreen:

Diane, she is stunning! I am so glad she is adjusting well -- You'll have her (or Josh will LOL) tame in no time! Sounds like she "picked" Josh LOL... Coco "picked" Carl the day she arrived, and they still have that special bond

Lazlo -- my brother is in Golden, so I'm getting updates now on the fires -- I hope they can get them out and save all that beautiful country. My bro calls CO "God's country" because its just so breathtaking

Thanks. :wink: We all sure know about the beardie "stink eye" don't we? Have seen a few of those over the yrs.

Thanks Sandy. She really does have stunning colors, Paul couldn't believe it when he came home for lunch. Say hi to Ramoth for us.

Dawn, Josh has quite a way with critters and they love how gentle he is. Hopefully she will want some snuggles later.

Yay Angeline is here! I love the name by the way. She's so adorable, and her colors are just amazing. So happy for you, Diane!

She is gorgeous! I love the pictures,she looks so proud :mrgreen:
That's awesome that she ate so well on her first day here

 

[beardie parents]

She is adorable! She knows now that you all love her, that's why she's calming down soo fast. They are amazing creatures.

Thank you, we are glad we picked that name, not very common either. Once in a while we call her Angie.

Thanks Michele. We were surprised that she ate so well on her 1st day here. Tomorrow some 1/4" crickets and phoenix worms will be arriving.

They sure are amazing creatures Lori. She is still kinda jumpy when I go to pick her up but settles right down.

I knew she'd fit right in and I"m so glad she got home without any issues. Her colours are just stunning & I agree, the sidebars are unique. She's such a cutie!

Angie was asleep standing up last night with her upper body up against the glass. I wasn't sure of her nighttime routine so when I noticed her prominent stress marks, I knew she was getting tired. She was wide awake when I came down at 6:00 so I let her warm up and she ate a lot, took her 1st poop on her log and had a 15 minute bath. So far she just sits in her bath water whipping her head around but hasn't started swimming around yet. Later Josh and I are going to supervise her while she is allowed to run around on the livingroom carpet. She sure is fast so have to make sure she doesn't get out of our sight. Will let you know how that goes.

I will try to post some more pictures later on. She couldn't have arrived at a better time since Judas passed away last night.

Sounds like she's settling in nicely and not to stressed. I'm very sorry to hear about Judas!!

 

[sweetiepie9]

I'm so glad she's settling in so well & not nasty as she was where she lived. I think she could feel the not so nice vibes from her owner's wife, so now that she's in a home where she's loved by everyone, all the goodness is pouring out! Good for you Diane, she's already doing so well & it's only her 2nd day. Well done, you & Josh. She'll help heal your hearts :love5: :love5:

Wow, that's nice. Thanks, but her agression certainly didn't come from myself, my husbandry, or my wife lol.

Could be that I grabbed her from a 12x12 cube tank with a halogen bulb @65 degrees and shredded carrots as her diet. ?

Wow I feel the love on here for sure.

 

[diamc]

She is still nervous Deb when I go to pick her up but that will hopefully get better soon. She has investigated every part of her tank today. Right now there is an evil creature sitting on her basking log, a probe thermometer that she's looking at inquisitively. She just licked the probe lol.

She has taken 2 healthy poops today and just sat looking at me while I used a baby wipe to clean it up both times, wasn't jumpy at all. So, she's getting there.
