Finn, Venus and Jupiter: New beardie baby!

Spyro is my first bearded dragon and I brought him home on the 27th. He came from an individual that was not giving him the proper care: No uvb, feeding mealworms, sand, UTH instead of basking light, etc. They had been misinformed by a pet store employee (big surprise there). I wanted to start this thread so I and everyone else can watch Spyro as he grows.

About me: My name is Lindsey, I am 25 years old. I have a 6 year old daughter with Angelman Syndrome and she a happy little girl that teaches me something new everyday. I have a 4 year old boy named Garrett that shares my love of animals and he loves Spyro as much as I do. I have 3 dogs: Remington(Remi) is a 1 1/2 year old boxer, Tucker is my shihtzu mix, and the mighty Kujo, a toy poodle weighing in a 4.5 lbs. I also have 3 leopard geckos: Venus, Loki, and Thor. I am attending school full time to become a surgical tech. My life is chaotic, but that's the way I like it.

Now back to Spyro, this is the day I brought him home( I am sure a lot of you have seen these pics in the intro section, sorry I will have new ones up soon) :

I will update every once in a while with new pictures. When I got him he was in shed.... and still is. I am getting impatient to see this guy brighten up!

Tell Bug: "One day when you're big and strong, you will be a king!"

Zera sung that song from Lion King 2 to Kovu. I remember it, it was awesome.

My little guy's name is Kovu and i sing him that song almost every time he becomes a rag doll while i put him to bed.#beardieslave4life

Haha nice.

Well I got the horns and butterworms, and Finn and Venus gobbled up a bunch. I was so glad they liked them.

I also got to see some orthopedic surgery, I loved it.

 

[sweetiepie9]

That's all good news!

 

[Lindz0518]

I have been so busy at school, it is so hard to catch a break and get on the computer!

Finn is doing well and enjoying the horns and him and Venus already have ate all the butterworms! He is now shedding half his back legs, half his tail, and his front feet. Poor guy cannot catch a break from shedding but I guess that means that he is growing like a weed. He is now up to 170g and I am going to get a length on him tomorrow. He is doing very well. I think he finally might be long enough for supers.

Venus is doing well also, she is also enjoying the worm treats. I am definitely going to have to get them more often.

spoiled babies! can't wait for more pictures of them!

 

[Lindz0518]

I will try to get some up in the next couple of days.

 

[sweetiepie9]

I can sure understand how busy you are with school & family & Finn and Venus! So much on your plate!

 

[Lindz0518]

Well Finn is 15 inches long so I am thinking about trying a couple supers on him to see how he does. I still will be feeding him horns and crickets though.

Well an opportunity has came up for me. There is a house for sale and if I qualify my payments would be less than my rent at my apartment. The even better news... It has an extra bedroom for an office/reptile area. I am trying really hard to not get my hopes up but it also has land so I could finally go and get my horse from over at my aunts, and I could get Remi back from his temporary home and even possibly Spyro!!! So it is really hard to not get too excited.

 

[zandi202]

Wow, that's fantastic news! I'm so excited for you! I hope you get approved! How long will it be until you find out?

 

[sweetiepie9]

That would be so awesome for you! Get all your critters back, well your horse & Spyro maybe, And to have all that space would be wonderful for you. Let us know asap how it goes, k? FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED OVER HERE and sending only positive energy your way.

 

[Lindz0518]

Hopefully I will know something in a week or 2.

crossing my fingers for you too! you deserve it.

 

[Lindz0518]

Well I went and looked at the place today and of course, I just love it. I wouldn't even know what to do with all that room. So I applied for financing and may hear back as soon as Monday. Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed. I am wanting this to work out so bad.

 

[sweetiepie9]

My fingers and toes are still crossed and will stay that way until you hear about the financing. Good luck!

 

[Lindz0518]

I have some pictures of Finn.


He has been a shedding machine. He has been running around like a crazy man!
