Ill have more pictures asap! I left for a couple hours, he had no stress marks, now I come home and he's got a black beard and all kinds of marks plus he pooped. It was like diareah but at least he's eating and pooping, ate probably 10 crickets and looks like some of his salad.

Someone let my dog into my room, probably why he was so freaked out. Now that I've typed this his beard is going away and his stress marks have faded quite a bit. He's trying to climb out of his cage so I'm going to try and hold him...

Haha! I chickened out though. Put my hand in there and he got his marks back so I let him be. He ran through his poop though so I'm pretty sure he needs a bath... his whole body is so dark right now, its crazy how they can change color so quickly.

Aww he's beautiful!! Don't worry about how dark they get, he's a baby and everything is new and different right now. My Sunny would get so dark and beard at everything. haha Now she's the happiest little girl, loves to play, eats like a champ, and is so so sweet. Her belly is almost always bright white, along with her colors. He'll settle in and you'll see he'll be bright and happy before you know it. How's he doing now?

Thanks for the reassurance! I had to work for 5 hours but I was told he hadn't moved from the corner of his tank. Took him out for a bit and he did great for a couple minutes but got fiesty so I gave go a little soft kitchen towel and put him to bed.

Couldn't resist seeing him sleeping soI pulled back the towel and he looked very peaceful, all things considered id say he had a good first day. Tomorrow he's getting a bath so that will be interesting...

I've got a post under bearded tales that ill be updating with his/our progress. Thanks for all theb support, its great to hear something other then "eww" when you say you got a new lizard!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
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.
