Bert and Ernie?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how the other two headed dragon, Bert and Ernie is doing? I love to read about Zak-n-Wheezie and I never miss an update on them. But other than the article that's on here about Bert and Ernie, I haven't heard anything about them since they were about two months. Anyone know anything?

The last I saw of Bert and Ernie they were for sale in the Fauna Classifieds :(
That was a few months ago, so I don't know if they are still for sale or not.
The owners were/are asking $10,000 for them!

Poor Bert and Ernie... I was afraid that might be the case. They'll be sold and viewed as a oddity for the rest of their lives and never know love. Would someone please pass me a tissue?
 
valleydragons.com is the owner and they have a page for them but as you can see the updated the site and the two headed beardie isn't there :(

http://valleydragons.com/new_page_50.htm that the info on those guys.

My husband and I have one of our own today :). Hatched from our breeding pair of citrus tigers. Sooo not expecting that

bert and ernie? I don't know how they are doing. I found recent post about them being for sale at http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133724

We had our citrus tigers bred and the first clutch started to hatch three days ago. Yesterday this one was working on coming out and only got a head out. My husband put it back in the incubator. We went back to check on it and it didn't move from before. So my husband grabbed the egg and peeled a piece back exposing the 2nd head!

He was all excited and very careful. As for me I didn't believe him and thought he meant two babies in one egg. I went back to feeding the rest of the beardies.

I turned around to see a two headed bearded dragon in my husband's hand. SOO tiny!

Picsture taken like four hours ago. Right now we are worrying about them because they keep flipping upside down like a turtle on its back. Poor little bugs

Now they are asking $25,000 for them...that is so sad. if anyone buys them, I hope they will be loved and well cared for.
 
Yeah I am hoping they live too. My husband is going to be deployed so I'm going to care and love this little one. Along with 10 adults, and 81 baby beardies wooo and a bun in the oven that wont be done til december. I got my hands full.

How anyone could take something so adorable and so rare, that God saw fit to give them, and put it up for sale for $10,000, just to make some money is absolutely beyond me. :angry5:

Poor Bert and Ernie will probably spend their entire lives getting gawked at, without anyone caring enough to love them and give them the special care that they need. What kind of a person would take an animal with any sort of handicap, and turn them into "side show"? It is just so sad. I often say that my animals are smarter than a lot of people I know, and this is a perfect example!

My family and I have a "special needs" Boxer, who is only about 1/3 the size of a normal Boxer, and has head tremors, along with gait and balance problems because of a neurological problem, and an rare illness known as Lysosomal Storage Disease. You would not believe the people that walk by our yard and point and laugh at her when she stumbles arround. I feel like going out there and smacking the crap out of them.....but every animal in my household (2 other dogs, 4 cats, 3 ferrets and 3 beardies) all defer to her and try to make her life easier. They sleep with her and keep her warm, if she wants to eat from their bowls, they will back up and let her have it. Even Ming, my oldest male beardie will play with her through the glass in his tank by bobbing back at her when she bobbles her head, until she gets tired and goes to lie down. She thinks its the greatest thing in the world when he bobs back at her! It takes so little to make her happy.

Our vet said that she wouldn't live to be 6 months old, but my son (who she actually belongs to, but he still lives at home with us) told our vet that "sometimes a lot of love will do what all the medicine in the world can't", and as it turned out, he was right. Evie celebrated her 3rd birthday this past Memorial Day!

Any handicapped animals can teach us so much.....if we listen with our hearts, instead of ears.... I sincerely believe that Zak and
Wheezie have survived for so long ,simply because they know how much they're loved. God knew what he was doing when he sent something so rare and special to Barbara, and she will love and care for them for as long as God allows, just as we do for our little Evie. And another wonderful example is Jason, who managed to save little LG, against all odds, and has had his love returned to him a hundredfold by the little guy. Handicapped animals can amaze us by what they're capable of, when they know that they're loved...

Some advice for the poster above, just keep those connected little ones with you, and love them and care for them for as long as God allows. The love that you give them and that you get in return will enrich your life so much....

And as for the person who put Bert and Ernie up for sale....I feel very sorry for her, because she'll never know what she missed by not keeping them....I just hope that whoever purchases them treats them decently..... That is so sad.....

Soooo cute!! I think someone (most likely Barbara) said the chances of their survival mostly depend on the way they split, and in Zak-n-Wheezie's case, they are more like "Y" rather than "y" (when you look from the top) -- almost perfectly symmetrical, and it's a good thing because it's less likely for one to be dominant... And these babies look pretty symmetrical too! Please keep us posted!! Congratulations!!!

You're right, it was $25,000. I don't know where I came up with $10,000! :roll:



lytruong06 Congrats on the two-headed beardie. I hope they will be okay! I pm'd Barbara (has Zak-N-Wheezie) and told her about them. I'm sure she will want to see them.

Good Luck! :D

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
