Hi All

[Badger]

Hi everyone. I am an old timer in the hobby, but haven't had a beardie in several years... until yesterday. I am the proud new papa of two 5 month old dragons. I promptly changed my wallpaper to a snapshot of one of my dragons, you can see it here. (no, you don't have double vision, I use dual monitors LOL).

Also in my zoo is a Chilean Rosehair Tarantula, two Emperor scorpions, one quite pregnant three birds (a Parrotlet, a 'teil and a parakeet) and my big 'ol dawg Bud. Over the years I have had a lot of reptiles and some amphibians.

I look forward to joining in.

Oh, by the way, in honor of the death of Steve Irwin, I have named my dragons Steve and Irwin... If they are females, they will just have to live with it :wink:

Hi Badger!

what a lovely thought calling ur beardies Steve and Irwin,..! (...poor girls,..hehe)
i cant believe he was killed!!

do you handle the spider and scorpians?
or are they just watch and feed pets?

a friend of mine had a bird eating spider, which went into hibernation and got eaten by crickets. so dont let that happen to you, she was devastated,..!!

very cute dragon, welcome back to the very rewarding world of beardies!!

Yep Willie is about 10, he is actually a SHE though, males reach sexual maturity at about 4, and generally don't live more than another year, usually less. Females can live to be 15 to 20 years old though, so I expect many more years of freaking out my friends. :twisted:
