Everyone, I would like you to meet...Yoshi!

Hey everyone

I'm still fairly new to this forum, but I'm getting stuck in now

I thought Yoshi deserved a thread of his own too, as I've got lots of great photos to share with you all. I've had him for about 4 months now. He's almost 6 months old I'm from the UK, and I live in the north west of England. I bought him from a reptile pet shop called the reptile room http://www.thereptileroom.co.uk which is in Thornton, near Blackpool. for all you UK members who live up north, I highly highly reccomend them. They love all their animals and are full of advice. they even do a holiday service so you can leave your beardie with someone you know you can trust!

anyway, photos! Here he is on his way home from the pet shop.....

He was only 22cm when we got him home!

He loved his new water bowl and got in it almost straight away! paddled for ages

Checking his Ebay bids....

not much bigger than my mouse!

couple of weeks later, hes growing fast!

Hide and seek...

here he is after his second shed. much bigger and very orange!

I dont think he has the hang of eating peas yet....

He is so handsome! What gorgeous colors!

 

[Freeie]

Awww hes a real cutiepie!

 

[Ostrommaysi]

Wow look at that color and those fierce facial markings! I like the one with the pea so cute

 

[kiara]

wow! he is beautiful! i love his orange coloring, and the pea picture is just too cute! :lol:

 

[bkelley]

He's a great looking dragon, awesome colors. I'm wondering what my little guy will start to look like once he begins to really shed.

 

[G1GaHuI2tZ]

Wow! He's got some great color! :mrgreen: Did you get him from a breeder or pet store?

 

[Eljay]

Thank you so much everyone! I thought I was being biased when I thought he had amazing markings and colours!

Wow! He's got some great color! :mrgreen: Did you get him from a breeder or pet store?

He's from a pet store, but they specialise in exotics only. theyre not a chain, theyre privately run and they get their babies from breaders instead of breading themselves. I cant reccomend them enough to the UK people on here

He's adorable! Thanks for sharing. He looked, in one pic, very fearce, like he has a very fiesty personality. very cute!

 

[Eljay]

haha! Fiesty!? Hes the softest thing ever! He only gets fiesty when he sees his crickets coming! His colours make him look fierce I guess. and I'm a red head, so we match :love5:

[Twobeardieguy]

Bad news

As I've had him a few months now, and he had a few watery poos, I got really worried that he had something wrong with him. I thought I was being paranoid but turns out not. I sent a faecal sample to a pet lab, and I got these results. they're fairly confusing, but he needs treatment.

I'm so upset! he seems fine but obviously he's not. can anyone tell me a little more about what the results mean? I have a very basic knowledge, and will worry if I dont know what exactly is wrong

eljay, I suggest you pm drache613 (she's Tracie). She probably the only one I know of that can answer your questions about that. I can't begin to understand what all that means.
