Hey guys, I know I'm always on here asking questions here there and everywhere so I decided to make a thread about Elijah and his day to day! He has grown up on BD.org with me since I got him Oct 31st. Here are some pics thats I took of him from Oct. to just about a month ago. I just got my digital camera up and working again so more pics on the way.

This was Elijah a couple of days after being home, I didn't realize how snuggly they were (as I type this he is on my shoulder sound asleep with his head under my sweat shirt hoody :love5: )

I'm so upset that I didn't get a picture of this but I was running late for work this morning. I woke up to find Elijah sounds asleep in the cornor of his tank, face up in the air and looking super comfey. Now the bad part is that was not where I had left him last night. He had crawled into his hammock to sleep last night, well it looks like a suction cup came loose and that was how he ended up on the floor! :shock: I felt so bad for him, I was wearing my fuzzy robe this morning so I scooped him up and carried him around snuggled in my robe for a while, I think he felt better after that and a large breakfast of crickets!

Wow, look how he's grown, it's amazing, isn't it? He is just TOO cute. :p

I have been using those hammocks for many years, the way I keep the suction cups from coming detatched is that I push the very center of the rubber cups to the glass every other day or night, that has worked very well and they haven't come lose on their own. Sometimes you hear a pop sound as the cups adhere to the glass once more and that's a good sound. Just thought I would mention this to you. I used to also feel bad when one of the cups came loose and a beardie ended up on the bottom. :(

I felt so bad for Elijah that morning! He didn't seem too upset by it though. :p I've been feeding him dubias for about a week now, he loves them! I have a plastic dog food dish that I can put them in and they can't get out, those roaches and the worms are great for mornings when I have to go to work and I can put them in the cage and he can eat everything when he wakes up and warms up. (I have to leave for work EARLY and I don't get back home until LATE, thus is the life of a nurse! :roll: fortunately I only do this 3 days a week! :wink: ) I got my reptiSUN light in and his stress marks are beginning to fade, I'm glad about that, I have a reflector in there right now to help with the screen lid that I have and my husband is going to be cutting a hole in the screen for me as soon as he gets the right tools for the job! I'll post more pics of him soon! 8)

As promised a picture of Elijah near his coconut! He has grown WAY beyond being able to fit in it but he still loves it all the same.

So Elijah finally found out how to sleep in his flower pot! LOL! I think he is a bit too big for it though!
Picture022.jpg

He had even kicked out his blanket!

Picture021.jpg

This was a frontal view. He had crawled all the way through! Sleepy dragons they crack me up.

This one was taken a while ago but as you can see Elijah likes funny poses to sleep. I call this one his "I don't want to get up doe school" pose!

Oh, how adorable. Sure loves his flower pot. :lol: Isn't it amazing the positions they get themselves into? Don't know how they manage it.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
