He/she is named Ziggy for his/her zig-zag back pattern. I am still grieving for my beloved Dreganna who sadly passed after having trouble digesting superworms and a bad reaction to the enema that her Vet performed. She was just at 1 year old and I had trouble with her growth at first by following the advice from the pet store for the first 3 months that we had her. After coming here, our husbandry issues were fixed (wrong lighting, too few feeders per day, etc.) I was not going to look into having another beardie so soon, but a friend told me about PetSmart having their 25 year anniversary sale and beardies were half price. My new little leatherback baby was mixed in with the normal beardies so was a grand total of $30.
Here she is for her debut:
While we are still very sad over the passing of our first dragon, I am already feeling my heart being tugged in Ziggy's direction. She's been home a grand total of 4 hours now and had 4 pinhead crickets when I first introduced him/her to his/her new enclosure and another 3 just now. I was told that he/she had already had 4 crickets earlier this morning as well.
I am hoping, begging, praying for our new addition to live a long and happy life. I'm really worried about how tiny he/she is and don't think pet stores should sell them this small. My little ones have been crying right along with me over Dreganna as she was their first pet loss so I hope Ziggy can help fill the void. I'm still crying over my first beardie love, they really do grab your heart and hold on tight, don't they?
So, with bittersweet memories we're embarking on our new beardie adventure and Ziggy will be a happy part of our family, hopefully for many many years to come.
