Beardie at my door!

[heartdog]

This is such a trip! I was noticing my cat looking out my front screen door intently, so I went to investigate. Saw there was a lizard. Looked a little closer, and it's a young adult beardie!! Just peering in to say hello! I picked him up, and put him in my outside sunning cage, where he promptly started head bobbing vigorously. Guess he's a male! Bummer cuz my current guy is male. He's got a huge tank all to himself, and I can't put them together. Not sure I want to get another tank, either. Maybe I should put up notices around the neighborhood, but who knows where he came from. He's in good shape, although was pretty thirsty. Nice color, too. Lavender yellow.
I'll have to see how his personality is

I guess he was just popping around to say hi! Poor guy, I'm glad he found you. I wish I lived in a warmer climate.. maybe a beardie would come visit me too! Pretty cool..... take a picture of him, Id like to see his coloring!

 

[ChellyBeans]

That's so cool! Perhaps you should consider keeping him. He did seem to come to you for a reason.

Pictures would be awesome!

I agree with Chelly, I think that there is a reason he came to you... :wink:

Wow lucky beardie I would post around. If hes in good shape he must be loved by someone. He might of escaped from someone. I know we have had members loose their beardies it was so upsetting to their familys.I know if one of mine got away i would die of heartbreak. It would be so awsome if you found his slave.

Thank you for taking him in, even if it's just temporary . . . for now :wink:

She would know. Check out her spoiled turtle. :lol:

This is one hilarious dragon. Crikey doesn't head bob at all, and is a very lazy type, doesn't even eat veggies without help. Truthfully, he's a bit of a pain sometimes lol. This one acts like a normal beardie, he's sidewalking, head bobbing, foot slapping, black bearding. Very amusing. Yes, I believe things happen for a reason, it's just so odd that he's right there, looking in, just before rain, too. So good thing he got found by a beardie person!
I do suppose I could put up signs that a "lizard" was found. Then if they know what it is, give him back. I'm in a back alley in the city, though, could be so many people.

Looks like I'm off to look at tanks and supplies! And thinking of a name ; ) (Wonder what the name of the dragon in that new movie is..how to train your dragon?)

 

[heartdog]

Well, got my new baby a sliding glass enclosure like the other one I have. Only it's smaller, but big enough. Tons o'crickets and veggies, and he's suuuch a happy camper! Loves his new perch, as you can see by the pic. Sometimes he's a bright yellow with lavender! Thinking of calling him Vedder : D

 

[PeppersGirl]

What a handsome dude, he does look in good shape

 

[Momto3boys]

He is gorgeous :love5:

I have to admit, I'm a little bit jealous of people who just randomly find beardies, lol

 

[remi1]

Wow, what an amazing story! I'm so glad you were there to take him in from the rain! He's very pretty and you can tell that he's been taken care of; he seems to be saying in his picture "that's right slave, now bring me some crickets" :lol:
I hate to say it, but part of me agrees with Freeie, his slave might be frantic right now. Sometimes accidents happen and beardies get away. It wouldn't hurt to put up that sign you mentioned, found lizard. Otherwise you'll always be wondering, and if no one calls then he's all yours!

 

[Goonie]

She would know. Check out her spoiled turtle. :lol:

Yes, I WOULD know :mrgreen:


Guess he didn't have any relocation stress, huh? :lol: The way he's perched on the log looked like he'd been there forever, as opposed to just a few days.

As much as I hope his owner(s) come forward and claim him, I also hope that they don't because I can sense that you're already attached to him, and would be sad to let him go.

try yard sales or look near trashcans.coco is in a tank i found near the neabor's trash!

 

[heartdog]

I bought him a $100 custom tank, just that laminated wood with sliding doors. 3' long. I am putting out signs around the few blocks here, though. If someone is heartbroken and claims him, I'll just get me a new baby when they're available : D No stress at all, he's really calm. Unless he sees my other beardie! Then it's black beard foot slapping head bobbing like crazy ha ha. Funny how much his coloring changes. When he's asleep, he's really lemon colored. On the branch, he gets darker.

A random question, my other beardie has been digging a LOT lately, and it's pretty annoying after hours and hours. He's a male, so that's strange. Any ideas? Got so annoying yesterday I left the house! LOL.
