Dave here! Greetings from Tigard/Portland, OR.

I bought a beardie a few days ago, he's already blowing up and eating me out of house and home.

I don't use forums very often, but I'll upload some photos and try to think of a few inspiring quotes for a signature.

Some info on my beardie:

Name: Staff Sergeant Reginald Beardstrom Scalybritches, Rincewind for short. (Full name is original, nickname is for the reluctant "wizzard" in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.

Age: the guy at the pet store told me he was three months

Size: Body size is already about 5 inches nose to tail base, tail adds about 6 inches

Very friendly, very hungry, will eat greens out of my hand but prefers crickets in a small feeder box

I shared a veiled chameleon with a housemate years ago, the personality differences between the chameleon and the beardie are crazysauce.

WHAT A NAME. I had to read it three times. :lol: That's too funny. The length that you gave and the age sound like they would be about right. I wish it was more common for people to give the snout to vent measurement and then the tail. That just makes more sense to me because there are dragons out there with tail nips and short tails!

Welcome to bd.org. Yes you are going to have to post pictures, as people are going to ask you and ask you and ask you. We love pics.

Yes Chameleons are super different from beardies. I haven't seen a Chameleon 'glass dance' to get brought out to play. :lol:
