Archer is so cute and amazing, i thought i'd make his own thread. i brought him home April 18th. at first i didn't want to handle him until he was settled, so i was referring to him as "the baby." about three days later i eased him out of his tank, but he didn't seem to mind me touching him at all. i held him for a while before finally looking at his tail (thanks google images!) and determined he was male. the name "Archer" had been swimming around in my head since it had a nice ring to it, plus i enjoy the FX show "Archer" (i could listen to H. Jon Benjamin read the phone book--oh that voice!) and thought it could be a good unisex name since it could refer to the title character or his mother. well, as i was looking at the tail and making certain he was a he, he pooped on me. that pretty much settled his naming right there since the cartoon Archer is a jerk (to put it very mildly).
anyway, enjoy some pictures!
(i plan to update it with more pictures as he grows).
this is when i first brought him home:
he was a bit cold from the car ride (and i wasn't sure if he'd be up for being handled yet) so i ripped open his box and let him warm up and crawl out on his own.
he was about 7 inches long when i got him.
Archer likes to stretch his back legs out while basking. i call these his "Lucky Legs." my parents have a weenie dog named Lucky who lays with his hind legs straight back, so it amused me when i caught Archer doing the same (and of course i texted a picture to my mom immediately).
Archer's other favorite place to lay is balanced on my laptop. he even falls asleep up there. it's especially cute when he tries to move across it from one end to the other in this sort of shuffle-sliding movement.
this may not be surprising to anyone here, but i've already fallen in love with Archer. and he's adjusted to life in my home with me, my boyfriend, my turtle, and my kitty quite well. my kitty, Princess, barely notices him. she'll sit by his tank and watch his crickets move around during feeding times, but other than that she doesn't really care that he's here (i've previously owned hamsters and rats which she didn't care about either, so i knew bringing a dragon home would be fine).
oh, and i started keeping a growth chart to keep track of his size. it's been awhile since i last had a baby animal--my cat and turtle have been with me since i was a kid, so i'm excited to watch something grow
