I've done a lot of reading and research here prior to getting our BD and find the amount of information/resources here to be the best I've found. I also enjoy reading the stories of everyone's BD so I figured I'd introduce myself.
I'm a first time BD owner. Our new addition started with my 10 yr old wanting a lizard. I have to admit, I'm enjoying our lil guy much more than the kids. I've read about how awesome their personalities are, but until you experience it for yourself there is no understanding just how great beardies are. We just brought our baby home Friday. He's only about 4 in. long. He's very active and eating well. We've just begun to handle him for brief moments to get him use to us, which he seems to be doing Ok with. He also does well with hand feeding. I just love how he reacts when you talk to him. I swear it's like he can understand everything you say. Along with him we also have 2 mini-doxies, a rabbit, and fish.
I've noticed he has a lot of stress marks, which I've chalked up to him being so small and adjusting to a new home. Another thing is he seems to like to attack his reflection. Now as I type this I just watched him jump of his tree to attack his reflection. This has become his favorite past-time. Although, it's funny to watch I was wondering if that could be stressing him out a bit?
Here's a picture of him (hope this works)
