Brand new Beardie owner, meet Bob

[Nuez]

I'm a brand new Beardie owner and relatively new to herpetoculture in general. I love it so much that I'm starting to do some research on breeding and may soon start a small-scale project at home.

Anyway, my beardie's name is Bob and he was a rescue. The poor guy is missing 2 toes and the majority of his tail. Also, for some reason, his tail is discolored from the base to the end of his "stub" in a grayed out tone.

He was kept in horribly dirty and isolated conditions and is very aggressive towards me now. I've had him for close to a month now and he is showing signs of improving.

I'll post some pictures later on today when I get a chance. He is about 1 year old with an SVL of about 6 inches.

I'm glad to have found these forums and you can expect me to show up all over them in the future. Thanks for all the info so far!

Sorry, but your photo didn't show up - atleast I can't see it.

Ah he's a cutie. He looks in pretty good condition too.
