Hey all,
Brand new here. Like 5 minutes new
I recently acquired an approximately 3yo male bearded dragon just over two weeks ago. After researching them for the last few months, I finally decided it was time to take the leap and bring home a new family member.
As far as I know, Attila has has 2 previous owners; the last ones apparently only had him for a few weeks before putting him up for sale due to their kids being afraid (??) of him. The owners previous to that apparently got rid of him because their house was undergoing renos and he was "in the way", and the kids also lost interest. SMH. I'll never understand this type of thought process when it comes to pets, but whatever. He's with me now
Anyways, long story short (because I'll be posting in a different topic later about some concerns I have), he wasn't cared for properly prior to coming to me (bad diet, bad supplementation, poor handling/care, bad husbandry, etc.) so in addition to the shock of two re-homes, he's been a little skittish to say the least. The good news, however, is that he is moving away from simply tolerating me to becoming more at ease with my presence. So, I'm definitely looking forward to creating a better bond with Attila over the coming weeks/months, and having the opportunity to see what his personality is really like in better conditions.
Without further adieu, here is my little big guy:
Looking forward to spending time here, sharing and learning along the way.
