Hello Everyone! I am a new Beardie Mom and am SO thankful I came across this great site!! Everyone is so nice and supportive here! I am full of questions, mixed with emotions, and filled to the rim with excitement and nerves! My lil guy (I think it's a guy-LOL) is a little over a year old, waiting to see his personality before I name him, and has been a complete sweetheart! I am still a little nervous with him though, as he is my first reptile. (I also have 5 Sun Conures and 2 Guinea Pigs.) I want to make sure I do everything I can to keep him happy and comfortable. I just wish I could get more comfortable trusting him...but I guess that will come in time for the both of us. I have read about the bite one of these lil dragons can give and I think I wish I hadn't read it! LOL Just out of curiousity, what are the chances of a good beardie going bad over night? What are some of the pre-warning signs that things could be going south? I have found that when I put him on the bed, he can come out with sudden instant bouts of energy and go running towards the edge! Do they jump aimlessly or do they usually evaluate their limitations and abillities first? I keep running around the bed just to be safe... he probably has made an amusing game out of it....'mmm, this human is funny...if I keep doing this, she keeps running around the bed... what a weirdo! Hahaha!!' (I'm such a rookie and worrier! LOL) This morning, the FIRST thing I thought of was, is he okay? Then I turned on his lights and he was lying FLAT as a pancake on the floor, eyes closed, chest not moving!!! I was beginning to freak out!! (I know, I'm pretty pathetic! LOL) Then, whatta ya know... he woke up!! LOL!!! Well, guys and gals, I just wanted to say hi and introduce us... you guys are AWESOME and I am so happy I found this site!!
