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:

Yup I thought it was the sac area. With sheds it’s supposed to disappear and become a faint line over time.

I did forget to mention he went to the bathroom in the bath. I was figuring to do one bath once a week but he didn’t seem to really hate it when he saw it wasn’t too bad. I’ll keep it to once for now as not add unnecessary stress. I had to buy chicken and apples baby food as chicken and broth is getting harder and harder to buy. There’s a spot for it just it’s either there or not. I just like to have his salad “dressing” so I hope he likes it. I forgot about rapashy grubpie I have some left over. I suppose I can use that.

I see him every day I don’t know if he’s bigger I should say he is because he eats protein and some salad. Im gonna clean off the scale (it’s dusty). Yes he’s 100% boy I saw two bulges on the tail base.

It's hard to see the growth then one day you realize your hatchling is a juvenile.

Every time he poops in his bath is one less mess you have to clean up in his tank or off of Tom's desk

Little critters have a way of growing when you're not looking.

He tried blueberry I think he ate the skin LOL. To be honest, it’s slippery it’s not his fault. He was trying it he couldn’t really get the fleshy part.

He’s ok with the chicken and apples baby food. He really likes just the chicken and the turkey. He also ate some squash.

Hand taming 3x daily before food has paid off Im going to show you all a pic of progress.

He is a friggen cutie pie.

 

[SHBailey]

Sounds like he's getting a balanced diet.

He looks so little in your hand. But he doesn't look too upset that you're holding him -- his beard's not black, at least.

 

[BlueDragon09]

He tried running away so I took a quick picture. He’s definitely smaller I feel like he grew a bit bigger today. Today he’s not really interested in eating he’s still active and awake I don’t see any shedding or a start of one. He also didn’t use the bathroom. It would be funny if he decided baths are when he’ll go LOL. If that’s the case I guess a bath every day. Im ok I just need to figure out if he wants to do that. Nevermind he went to the bathroom LOL.

He’s shedding finally! His nose and under his chin a bit is flaking. I thought it was baby food but nope it was skin. I believe there’s a grey line of scales across his back so that may be going into shed. I knew he was bigger I don’t have a length to go by as of yet but it’s coming soon. He got breakfast and lunch already. I didn’t pick him up before meals as now he just lets it happen. He still runs but he eventually just stops and let’s it happen like “fine you’re not chasing me anyway go ahead.”

Im excited to see what colors will come out or pop out more with this shed. I see just orange right now. Maybe more orange and yellow or red? Broly had red orange with yellow. Vash was yellow with orange too. Haha I keep getting yellow dragons mixed with colors. Well we’ll see.

Whatever color he ends up being, he'll be a handsome boy

 

[SHBailey]

Do you know what color his parents were? xp29 is right though -- he'll still be handsome no matter what color he is.

It will be nice if he gets in the habit of pooping in his bath. Then all you have to do is dump it down the drain

Got him to straighten out a couple times and from nose tip to where the tail tip is 7” long so now I’ll measure next month to find out that number changes and it should but never know. Up next is weight and yeah it won’t be easy but here goes nothing. He is 14G so that’s our starting point 7” and 14G.

Day after tomorrow 23 inches and 489 grams lol (at least thats how it seems)
I've had Lucy for a couple months now. She was about that size when I got her. Now she us out growing her 40 gallon. I'm crossing my fingers the new Zen habitat arrives soon.

Hey yall been really ill I think it’s the flu this time. Im getting checked out tomorrow. Tom is taking care of everyone as I can hardly stand without wanting to freaking vomit. I hadn’t vomited but the urge is strong af.

I sleep in the bedroom and Tom has the couch (it’s better so he doesn’t get ill himself). Castiel doesn’t understand why mom isn’t playing with her. Im not playing with Dean and Sam sooo yeah LOL.

Bumblebee is growing and I will show the pendant Broly is in, dont worry it’s still on the list. I didn’t expect the flu. Tom never gets these things freaking hell. Maybe Im just stressed out from everything that’s happened and my body said “forget it Im letting the infection in...enjooooooy.”

Well Im not enjoying it body! I’ll get back to washing everything in 2 weeks so Cas and the Winchester bros can come hang out on the bed again. For now, I die (not literally).

I hope you feel well soon.

I've heard flu described as "The first few days you think you're gonna die, and the next few days you wish you could." I hope you feel better soon so you can play with all your critters again. Meanwhile, Bee will keep on growing while you're not looking

 

[BlueDragon09]

Im feeling better besides itchy/runny nose and a cough that forces itself out killing my throat. It’s the annoying part.

I only pet Cas in her cage of course after washing the flu germs off my hands. My bed is infested with the virus right now that just won’t work out for the boys and Cas. They can catch our illness when Beardies do not. Ha take that flu you can’t infect our beardies.

We have a tropical storm coming over to the west coast of USA on Monday so may be without for hours to days depending how bad it goes. Good thing we have a generator. I don’t think it’ll be days but you never know.

Bee decided to wipe baby food on the tank that’s what’s on the glass.
