I've been pouring over this site for the last couple weeks, and I decided it was time to join. I've never done this before... joined a discussion board or owned a beardie... so bear with me! I'm feeling a bit ignorant and inexperienced. I've always surrounded myself with animals, but this is the first reptile. Unless you count the occasional snake or lizard I caught as a kid and kept for a few days before I let it go! We bought our little guy (five month old male) from a breeder just over a week ago, and we are smitten. He joined our family of 5 kids, a standard poodle, a devon rex, a dusky conure, a guinea pig, and a beta fish. Busy house! He doesn't have a name yet, but we are working on that. I've got a lot of questions, so expect me to show up all over the board! Thanks!
