Getting a new baby- she's home

[Gail]

I've been contemplating getting another dragon for some time. I've been watching craigslist for a needy adult that wasn't priced like a designer morph but today when I found a little 2 month old baby, I couldn't pass it up. He/she a pretty little thing and much better looking then I expected. I actually wanted a plain gray dragon but I'm not passing a healthy dragon up because its too pretty lol.
Sorry for the bad pic, I'll be posting more once I get her home tomorrow. She is a hypo citrus X hypo red amongst other things, I'll just call her orange (cross finger for a girl)

Are you naming her Orange? Or is that what your calling her breed? Lol

If your nameing her Orange.....

Hiiii Orange@#!!

Orange is her color not her name, sorry for the confusion I'm thinking about naming her nebula but I need to try and sex her/it first. If its a make, I may go with Saturn.

 

[Claudiusx]

Aww crud I already said hi to her with a wrong name. Well..... Maybe you can make like, her second first-over hidden middle name orange or something. That way she can still have the name you give her and won't become a confused young pooper, grown into a rebelious teenager, and end up a bum addicted to waxworms all because I called her a name thats not hers.

Sweet baby. They are so cute but I like them better when they start growing, they dont seem as fragile.

Oh Brandon, what did you do to my poor little baby. Destined to a life of crime and waxie addiction :mrgreen:

I prefer older dragons myself too, not so much because babies are fragile but because adults are just easier to handle/feed. Three more hours and I can go pick her up.

Oh my goodness! He/she is adorable! I love his/her color, of course, but the expression on that little face ...

I tend to cruise craigslist, too. I also keep thinking that I'd help out an older dragon if one is in need, but I have this feeling I'm going to get sucked in by a cute baby!

Good luck with your little one. Please keep posting pics!!

She's home and I must say, I was less then happy with this "breeder". All the dragons were under coil UVB with red bulbs for heat, on calcisand and dehydrated looking. There were 2 other babies with mine, one had a spinal deformity and the other had the shakes. I tried to explain low calcium but they just didn't seem to understand what UVB had to do with it, after all he gave them plenty of calcium.
The cages were all clean and the dragons well fed but there was definite improvements to made. Not to mention he really knows nothing about the "designer morphs" he is breeding. All were supposed to by hypos including my baby but none were, except a beautiful hypo leather he just got from a well known breeder.

anyway, here is my little darling. She is smaller then I was told and I can't quite sex her yet but I'm guessing girl for now. She is in full shed so isn't looking her best.

OMG... /steals

I have to stop looking at this site (for the next 10 minutes anyway while I make my second trip to the courthouse for the day) else I'll end up with 45 babies!

Hello little (hopefully) girl! She is entirely too cute!!!!!

 

[herpgirl2510]

She's cute. It is nervewracking when they are so small. Craigslist around here is expensive they all want well over $100 for a beardie even ones they no longer want.

Ohhh....ooooo....aaaahhhh....syrup sweet!!!! Awww, can't stop *drool*.

Loving her/him! I like the idea of Saturn if a boy or Comet or etc. LOL, but Mars is cool for a girl or yes! Venus! Jupiter and Venus? :mrgreen: OK, name her/him what you want

Can't wait for all the pics!
Poor babies, must have been hard to not scoop them all up and rescue them!

CONGRATS!

Sticking with the star theme, if you had gotten two, you could've named them Castor and Pollux - twin stars from the Gemini constellation

 

[im2tired2dance]

Just the cutest. When I bought the first bearded, I had to go back to the store and get the one I left behind because he was alone and small in the cage. LOL...yeah my hubby still loves me.

What a pretty little girl!!! I don't get people who leave their unwanted pets in a cage like that! .
She will be MUCH better off with you gail .
