Hey everyone, I got Vivvi about two saturdays ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed her so far!

She's the second one i've had, its been about 5 years since lizzie(my first one) passed. i've thought about getting another one for about a year now, and I finally did it!

Here she is the day I brought her home

Her tank setup

and this one I took just two days ago

Aww very cute Vivvi is nice and plump! Welcome!

 

[mcampopiano]

Thanks! I hope plump is a good thing, lol. I'm afraid the wrinkles on her side mean she's dehydrated? I've started bathing her every day now just in case.

Welcome to the forum. Do you have another thermometer? Those stick on ones are no good. They can be off by as much as 20 degrees

 

[mcampopiano]

hmm, no I don't, but i'll have to look into getting one. Thanks for letting me know!

 

[SamusTheDragon]

Eh, I just think they have wrinkles. Mine do too, I always thought it was just their texture, let me know if you find otherwise =)

Oh I hope your right and I'm stressing over nothing! I thought I read somewhere on here that the wrinkles are a sign of dehydration, but I really don't know what more I can do! She is starting to shed so that might have something to do with it

You can buy a digital thermometer at Walmart or lowes for $8-12. Just make sure you buy a acu-rite. When I bought mine and hooked it up, my stick-on one was off by 15 degrees. It said it was warmer then it actually was.
Edit for spelling*

Also kinda curious, what substrate are you using, it reminds me of turtle food xD

 

[mcampopiano]

lol its alf alfa substrate, I read that its not bad for them if they eat some when they miss a cricket.
I just took a couple new good pics of her, i'm going to post them in a little bit.

 

[SamusTheDragon]

I thought it was alfalfa, but I wasn't sure and didn't want to sound dumb. Yeah idk about that I have nothing to say that's negative about it, just wondering. And yay, I love pictures. I need to post new pics of Sam and Milo, but their thread isn't very active anyways =/

 

[mcampopiano]

yeah lol its nice to have this forum available, I have somewhere I can show her off and know its appreciated!

viewtopic.php?f=49&t=150866 thats the link to the thread I just posted her new pics in, feel free to post pics of Sam and Milo on there, I love seeing new ones.

 

[mcampopiano]

Got some new pics!


her new toy.

I've read that some beardies are diggers, but Vivvi is definitely a climber!

"What do you want? i'm trying to sleep here!"

She loves this tree, while shes roaming my room she'll just scratch to get back in her tank unless I pull this out for her.

 

[SamusTheDragon]

Vivvi's a keeper and she's getting big! I love her light coloring, she's such a pretty girl . Dinosaur *RAWR* lol.

 

[mcampopiano]

Thanks! and yes, she is growing which I am very happy about! I just measured her today, she is 44grams and 10 3/4in. long. do you know the weight/heights on Milo and Samus?
