getting a new bearded dragon

[Jess]

Thanks, I did!
I definitely approve of E&A, it's smaller but I like them better than TCR! Their prices are much more reasonable, and they have AWESOME driftwood. I plan on going there again at the end of summer, because the lady there said that that's when they get a new shipment. I'll probably bring Dudley too. They also give you a really good over count on crickets!

I also got to hold the 8 month old silkback they had. :shock: It was epic.

So yup, I give them an excellent review LOL!

i just got my beardie hes still getting used to the tank. doo you guys have any good names for me?

 

[Jess]

Congrats! We need pictures to think of names though, of course. LOTS of pictures.

Where did you end up getting him from??

 

[MNdragon99]

I got him he's a little red but mainly gray I was wondering if there was any common names for beardies :laughhard: It's kinda funny how bad that place smells but at least there a great store (I got my beardie from there)

what I did when I named Nesoberu is I spent a few days cuddling with him, watching his behaviour. Picked a dominate behavioural trait. and looked up different words for that trait in different languages.

Nesoberu, in Japanese, means "To Lay Spawled out"

I thought it was a fitting name, considering this is what I saw

Exotics & Aquatics?! I didn't think they smelled... :silent: I must be too used to it LOL.

Spike and Puff are pretty common names though, if you want to use one of those!

 

[MNdragon99]

The guy said that spike was most of the dragons names there. :mrgreen: I think I got a mix breed but I don't know because I got a gray and red or orange dragon :help: :headbang:

Oi, look at all those beardies they have :shock: Great, now I have to go there too :mrgreen: Did they have any other feeders besides crickets? One of the reasons I liked TCR is because they have phoenix worms and roaches and hornworms when I'm in a bind. It's about 30 mins from my place too ugh, but only 10 from our friends house, I think I'll try and go there this weekend

I'm glad you didn't get your dragon from Petsmart, I bought Twitch from them and love him to death but he was a little bigger then the rest when I got him. I thought this was because of good feeding and good lighting, I was completely wrong and it was bad! VIA My thread "Can anyone please help me..." in General discussion. Twitch was 3-4in when I first got him and over the past 3 Months he has grown to 15in, When I went to Repticon this weekend they told me he was about 5 months old and that I could buy him a Female friend and he would be totally ok because they don't like to mate until they are almost a year old. Well due to a lack of food and proper lighting my almost 1 year old dragon looks like he is 5 months. The reason he grew so fast in the 3 months is because since I bought him he has Proper lighting and more food then he will eat, so please do research on any place your going to buy from/have bought from. Don't make the same mistake I did.

No, they just had crickets (Those are the only ones I saw anyways?). I thought they would have more too, but I guess not!
TCR is 30 min from me too, but it's worth the drive LOL. But E&A is 12 miles from TCR!
