Hi everyone.
I brought home Foster about 3 weeks ago....he's about a year old. I had been eyeing him at my local pet store since he was a juvenile and he was originally housed with 3 other beardies. Two of them were sold and the third died a few months ago, although from what I don't know. When I saw Foster was moved to a smaller enclosure he seemed really depressed and lonely. ( if reptiles can actually feel that way ) I decided to buy him and give him a good home. The people at the pet store absolutely loved him and hated to see him go. I know he was well taken care of there but I still brought him to a reptile vet and found he had parasites. He got some parasite meds and also got an enema since he hadn't pooped in over a week. He is slowly getting adjusted to his new home and he spends a lot of time in my huge screened-in porch basking in the sun. He's not a very active beardie but I think he's just a lazy branchpotato. He's never really been out of his pet store enclosure except when it was being cleaned so I think he's enjoying his outdoor time. I started researching beardies a year ago and have learned a lot but I'm still a bit confused about a few things. So here I am...hoping to learn even more about beardies from the people who love these wonderful, sweet lizards. I'm so glad I have Foster and I want to make sure he has a happy, healthy and long life.
