Brick's thread- no more surgery hopefully!

We've had our dragons since the beginning of August and Brick has been at my house for about 2 weeks; it's about time His Highness got his own thread! ;)
For those of you who don't know, my fiance and I got Lady and Brick from his mom's friend's son (or something along those lines) who was moving and couldn't keep them. He gave us the vivs and lighting too, which was awesome! Their setups are great (except for the crushed walnut substrate! It didn't cause any problems but I don't want to risk anything so I switched to shelf liner when Brick moved in with me. Lady is still on walnut because my fiance thinks it's fine. :|), and they were well taken care of. So we got two healthy, happy dragons. They didn't have names, but we fixed that. The female is now Lady Fromage, and the male is Captain Brick Bordeaux (fromage is French for "cheese" and Bordeaux is a type of wine. Get it, wine and cheese? I'm a dork I know :p).

About two weeks ago I finally convinced my dad to let one of the lizards live here (Yep, I'm 26 and I still live at my dad's. For now anyway. ;) I do kind of like it though, since it's good food and cheap rent and sane company, plus my younger sisters are here as well). Anyways. My fiance is already quite attached to the sweet, cuddly, sociable Lady; so I got Brick. He's kind of a grump but I love him all the same. And without further ado, pictures!

Coming to my house! I waited til after lights-out and burrito'd him up, and he slept through the whole car ride and moving process. Sorry about the bits of scale and substrate lol-

Showing a bit of (shedding) sexyleg. I feel bad for moving him during a shed though. All that stress! I totally wasn't thinking. :( Luckily he's handling everything like a champ. :)

And a few pics of him exploring (the walls look extra-bright green in these pics! I definitely didn't paint them or choose that color, haha)

And here is my current favorite picture of him. It was his first bath in the bathtub instead of his shallow rubbermaid container, and at first he acted like I was trying to put him in a tank full of sharks! Of course I had to get a picture ;)

He's still going through a bit of relocation stress, but is doing great overall! And now I have to go make dinner. I'll post more if I think of something, thanks for reading! <3 <3

He is, loved the reaction to himself in the mirror, they don't have a sense of self, so it's always "I'm going to get youse, get out of my house!" :lol:

lol!! :) I'm not super sure what His Highness was thinking about the other guy, but it was funny regardless! He didn't seem upset though, which is good :)

I think he was more curious than anything about "that other guy" in the mirror. Maybe if he has a grouchy day he'll be wanting to chase him out of the house though, lol :lol:

Moar photographs! There are a crazy amount of pictures of Brick and Lady on my phone/camera/computer lol. Like at least a few hundred :shock:

Sleepyhead :love5:


I'm not exactly sure how he got up on this pile of my sister's stuff, but he seemed quite pleased with himself so I let him stay awhile, lol

And eventually he fell asleep. He wakes up with the sun (no matter what time his lights come on), so he's usually sleepy by about 7:30 or 8pm.

Whoa. How has it been almost two months since I last posted?! :shock:
Most of it is that I'm super-unexciting so there's never anything awesome to post about lol. Brick is still a grouch who prefers to explore the house instead of hang out with me, lol, but I love that rude little brat anyways. <3

:idea: Oh! Vet visit!
So we were back at the vet's a week ago, because the lump in Brick's mouth got bigger and the vet said to come back if that happens. :?
However, getting bigger is the only thing the lump is doing-- it's not showing any signs of turning cancerous or harmful. Sooo the vet said no surgery needed right now!!! :D I'm still keeping an eye on it of course, but for now (as long as it stays benign), we won't take it out unless it gets big enough to interfere with his eating or it starts to annoy him :)
That darn lump seems to be growing at a pretty steady rate though, so I'm fully expecting it will have to come out eventually. But it's such a relief that nothing urgent or life-threatening is going on with my scaly friend!!! Even the vet didn't seem concerned at all. (And if the worst happens and it does turn cancerous someday [which there will be more signs of, like redness and jaw-swelling and such], it takes more than just a month or two for it to start to spread and become systemic. So, waiting a bit is safe regardless :))

Here's a picture of the lump, for anyone who is interested ;)

And omg I can't believe I forgot to post harness pics! Brick's harness came like a month ago. Such a dapper dragon :love5: He doesn't mind it half as much as I thought he would.

tl;dr: Surgery not necessary yet, and he got a new harness ;)

Hugs for all of you!! <3

When I saw the pic of you showing us his bump, I thought it was your finger and I was like "Oh my God, that's a huge wart!" :shock: And then I saw the actual lump :lol:

He's so handsome in his harness.

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?

Has anyone seen this before? Something in the corner of his mouth
