I've had him for a week now. He was hatched on Dec 26th, 2012!

He's always come off as super curious and brave. Right off the bat since I've had him. Never has really minded my hands in his tank to move stuff around. 3 days in to having him, he was already accepting greens and crickets out of my fingers.

2 days ago, He ran from one side of his tank to the other while I was moving something. He hopped onto my hand and checked me out for a second. Gave a lick to my wrist and continued onward! Climbing my arm, stopping every so often to lick and figure out what I was! He eventually made it all the way up to my shoulder. I let him sit there for a second but I had to grab him because I didn't want him jumping off!

Now, whenever I take him out to hold for awhile or to give him a bath, He always sits on the bottom of his basking branch, Looking out of his tank at me. Like he wants to come out some more!

Here's a picture of him!
Dongo!!

These next 3 are after his shed! He's becoming a little fatty and I love his new colors! Can't wait to see what his colors become as he grows even more :D

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 ?
