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.

She sure did Gina and to think she has a lot more growing to do yet. This morning she looked like she had a sock on her right front foot, bet that will shed tomorrow.
Isn't it funny how she has such a baby faced look face on?

Shes so pretty, looks like my Emily. I live in Colorado so thats funny she came from here. Shes a cutie.

 

[diamc]

Thank you. Isn't that a coincidence that you live in Colorado. Have you posted pics of Emily?

 

[beardie parents]

Gosh, Diane, she's gotten huge!

 

[diamc]

Yes, she has gotten bigger Lori, quite a ways from being full grown though. You have to consider that I use the ZOOM a lot on pictures so none of them are her actual size.

OMG! :lol:
I love the belly! :love5:

 

[diamc]

Isn't that belly something? No beardie boobs yet though. :mrgreen:

Wow Diane, she's gotten so big. How old is she now? She's so pretty, her colours are getting brighter every picture you take & what a great big white belly she has! I just love the amber eyes, they glow when you take her picture, what a happy girl she is & still making up games? I love the swimming game, what a sweetheart she is! Makes me want to do a happy dance

Hi Deb, Angie is gonna be 7 mo old on Sept 14th, doesn't seem possible already. We've had her since June 12th, she has fit in so well, seems like we've had her the whole 7 months. She is great at keeping us entertained. Today, while I was blowing my hair dry, she was laying on the carpet right alongside me, instead of being wary of the sound of the blow drier, she was laying there with her head tilted back enjoying watching me. It's amazing the eye contact she makes when she is laying on the floor and we're standing almost over her, no nervousness at all.

Well, I have some news to share. We are on vacation starting Sept 10th and had planned on having a baby shipped on that day, to arrive on the next. As you all know, we had planned on getting a Digi & Pookie baby but since there were some problems with the 1st clutch, we couldn't chance it, it made us feel bad and we even had a certain male picked out who continues to do well according to Tom. But, with all the beardie losses we've had, we couldn't stand the thought of possibly having a baby not survive, this will be Josh's baby, he picked him out and will help fill part of the empty hole he has from losing his 10 yr old Judas in June. Rather than waiting until their 2nd clutch was old enough to ship and since we were under a certain time frame because of our vacation, after some thought, I decided to talk to Barb and we are happily getting a baby from her, this little guy, Barb said he has "attitude" but is very sweet, just what Josh was looking for and he will be almost 3 mo old when he arrives from CA. On Sept 2nd, he was 11" long and weighed 100 grams. Thanks Barb. :wink:

Gina, I hope this post doesn't make you feel bad as it would break my heart. You are a great friend and you need to get a baby again. Please try to be happy for us and we want to share in some baby joy together soon as you and I planned.

 

[beardie parents]

Diane, I completely understand what you mean. You've lost as many beardies as we have, just most of them in a shorter period than we did.

 

[Goonie]

Don't be silly. I am very happy for you and Josh that there will be a baby arriving at your house next week.
Sometimes things happen for a reason, whether they make sense at the present moment or not.
Congrats!

 

[kickwing]

Do you think mine can change color like that? she looks like yas did in first pics but now i see ya beardie is orangeish can my beardie do that id love orange

 

[diamc]

I knew you'd understand Lori.

Thanks Gina, you're right, it all didn't make sense for sure but you (as well as us) need to move on, right?

kickwing, your beardie has lots of nice coloring already, may be getting ready to shed though which will make the colors pop even more once the shed is done. Their coloring is from their genetics (background) so it depends on the beardies parents.
