Baby Wizard

[flnatv]

I am fairly new to this forum and bd... but my little guy (okay... kinda think he is a she) is hilarious and I love Wizard. Don't know what I did before him/her.

Welcome to BD.org.
Wizard is awesome and really pretty, I'm glad you both are enjoying yourselves.
Good luck and Happy New Year.

Wizard is adorable and so alert in the pictures. What made you decide to get a beardie, since you didn't think you were a reptile person?

A student of mine gave my son a 20" Western Plated Lizard named Tank... and a Tank is what he is... barrels through everything. My daughter had a friend with a gecko a few years back and the same student was trying to downsize and gave my daughter a crested Gecko. While Picking up the Gecko.. I fell in love with her bearded dragon and all the tales she told about her. I did about a month of research and realized that a bearded dragon fits my personality. All 3 of the reptiles do.. Tank is a loner an aloof like my 15 yo son who is also 6'3" with a size 16 shoe... kinda like a tank himself. Harley, the gecko is spastic like my 14yo daughter, Wizard is just plain intelligent and entertaining. I am a teacher by profession right now so... being around 14/15 yo all day long makes me entertaining.

Why I am liking lizards better.... they don't bark, they don't bite, they don't take up 1/2 the bed, they don't scratch up furniture... I can take him/her to school to visit and teach my students if I want (selfish way of having him around all the time). AS for better than horses...I don't have to break water in the winter We have chinchillas and all they do is poop everywhere.

My mother thinks I'm a nutcase, but thinks the Wizard is the best pet I've had (I'm 41 by the way... mom still tries to tell me what to do from 14 hours away.

Well... that is me getting a beardie in a nutshell... after all my research... they were the only ones that fit my personality. He makes me smile on bad days and has filled up my photos on my phone.

Aww he is so little and cute
Is that a real cactus?

 

[flnatv]

Thanks and Yes, the cactus is real. All the bite marks are from the cats when I had it in the window. I have been watching wizard very closely and she doesn't seem to be tasting it. In fact, after the first few days... she has kind of ignored it. Now she has her hammock and hangs off of it.
Brought home a bigger aquarium yesterday... not much, but a little bigger (been raiding the biology lab at school... returning and swapping out until I get her to a full-size one.) Determined last night that I am going to make one myself.
This is her favorite other pasttime... can't figure out why she "hangs", but she does. This was taken a couple days after I got her home.

Okay... couldn't resist this morning... He is trying to figure out if I hid anything in his fooddish.... lol

Checking out his new house (not much bigger, but slowly graduating him to a 48" or more. I will start building his new one the middle of January.

The cat is jealous and has decided he wants the old viv. BTW... he is no longer on sand... learning a lot from all of you
