Bumblebee...roll out!

He’s here! The snow cleared and we were able to make it today. I was wondering why Tom didn’t work today.

He’s settling in right now and we tried to sex him he is still kinda young which I thought he’d be bigger (note I never met Bee or his parents). Breeder said he is the second smallest next to Donatello (the runt he’s keeping). So he had two runts Im fine with that. I had Kane out and he stopped by the 20 gall he tilted his head and black bearded at Bee (who’s in his tank btw) he quickly calmed down and just waved at him. They do not have adenovirus he said they didn’t (parents) Bumblebee and Donatello are both runts he assured us that he’ll grow out fine.

Here he is:

So Bee wants his own phone and his own account on this website LOL too cute

He likes looking elsewhere than the camera LOL.
I should just put a roach on the phone so he’ll look at it. You guys are watching him grow this is him today at 10 1/2” long.

Aww hes getting to be a big boy! Hes adorable!

There are games that display bugs crawling around on the screen and some beardies will go after them, but our Puff wasn't impressed or fooled. My husband found one and showed him the phone and Puff was like, "So what?"

Bee is beautiful! Congratulations for his continued growth.

At this rate he'll be full grown next week

 

[BlueDragon09]

He will be full grown before 2 years old .
It’s almost time for 2 bug meals a day and a salad at the end. I still offer salad just with chicken baby food on top just so he will EAT the salad. He gets 3 bug meals a day for now. He’s gonna get switched (or maybe should already or maybe that’s at 1 yr old) to 2 bug meals daily. I don’t remember when I switched I should read Broly’s thread from his younger days. I documented pretty much everything in the beginning. It’s not painful to read the thread anymore...well still some pain to read up on him but it’s manageable.

 

[SHBailey]

We did the same thing you did -- kept a log of everything when we had Puff -- what he ate, when he pooped, how much he weighed, etc. Saved all his medical records too. It helps to keep track.

It seems I didn’t change till Broly was about 6 months old. I see now...well his 6 months is different to Bee’s 6 months. In about 8 days he will be 4 months old (May 1)...yet he seems small to me though I caught him straight and measured 10 1/2” long. Maybe it’s just me seeing him every day because people are surprised seeing him each week. Friends and family are like “wow!! look at him” my brain: “hmm...seems small to me . “ I guess that makes sense then. I’ll catch him at 13” eventually. Ahh I think it’s cause he’s not filled out yet right now his body is concentrating on growing out first then he fills in fat pads and such. Yup that must be it.

 

[SHBailey]

When you see them every day you don't notice the change.

We kept our snake's sheds and we could see how he grew. You can't do that with beardies because it doesn't all come off in one piece. Arms and legs complicate things

Me: bath day
Bee: no
Me: you’re dirty though
Bee: no
Me: that means you’re clean?
Bee: yes
Me: not how it works but ok.
*puts Bee in bath*
Bee: said no!
Me: you’re not clean no doesn’t mean clean.
Bee: Im good I keep away from my bathroom.
Me: yeah well apparently you keep getting your butt water on you because your vent is yellow. I know that isn’t yellow fungus because it comes off so.
Bee: pfft *bites toothbrush* there!
Me: there what? Im still going to scrub you.
Bee: I’ll bite again...*bites* stop!
Me: almost done if you would stop biting it. *puts Bee on a towel* why are you like this?
Bee: well I said no.

 

[SHBailey]

LOL I think Puff knew he could cut his bath short by pooping in it. But it still made it easier to clean up after him -- just dump it down the drain. On the other hand, there were times he would crawl up my arm instead of staying in the water. Beardies and baths -- never a dull moment.

 

[BlueDragon09]

Haha for real!

Me: sunny...61F outside today!
Bee: yes!! I will rein over that mantis again.
Me: you sound like megatron...
Bee: maybe you should have named me after him.
Me: Bumblebee is cute though.
Bee: Im not after cute, Im after that bug...ahh we meet again bug already on my playpen..
Me: Bee you’re not eating it.
Bee: I wouldn’t eat it, no..I will jump on it.
Me: that’s a bad idea it will fly away.
*Bee attempts to jump on it*
Me: ahh look I was correct. There it goes!
Bee: one day I will win.
Me: right, win.
Bee: do not defy me! Im winning.
Me: care to tell me how you’re going to win?
Bee: haven’t thought about it that far ahead.
Me: LOL.

 

[SHBailey]

LOL indeed. Macho dragon doesn't want anyone to think he's "cute," even if he really is. And as far as beardies are concerned, thinking ahead isn't a thing

*Bee sees earphones* YOU GOT ME A GIANT WORM!!
Me: huh?! No! That’s not a worm!
*Bee bites it* doesn’t taste very good..
Me: not a worm, I tried to tell you.
Bee: ugh well guess you’re right..sooo when’s lunch?
Me: soon.
Bee: when’s that?
Me: 30 minutes.
Bee: Im hungry though.
Me: no kidding you were eating my earphones.
Bee: it looked like a worm...
Me: well it’s not.
Bee: no kidding...
