G'day all.

Just found your forum and thought I'd sign up, today I acquired my first ever beardie, well, my first ever lizard if you don't count the little skinks I used to find in my grandparents backyard and keep in an icecream container for the day back when I was a kid.

My name is Mads, I'm from Melbourne, (in Australia), I've kept a home zoo in my time, but I've never kept lizards. My reason for getting a BD? -Well, I was keeping a centralian python for a number of years, but since I got pregnant with my son (who's now 2 years) I lost my nerve in handling him. I felt terrible that I wasn't being a responsible pet owner when I couldn't even handle my own pet so I found another snake lover that I adopted him out to. Little did I realize how attached I'd become to my snake even though he didn't come out of his cage very often. I missed him, he lived in our bedroom and I used to watch him in his enclosure every night. there was a hole in our little family (well, not that little, I'll get to that further on)....

well, it's been less than a week and I've studied up, bought a viv of ebay, kitted it up and now I've got myself a lovely little red phase BD, the pet shop said it's about 6 months old, here's a picture of it, I'm calling it Dolarhyde (yes, I'm a Thomas Harris fiend)....

I'm a total newbie with BDs so you might see me on the board asking basic questions, but hopefully things will go well for us, and I wont need to ask ER questions!

Apart from the newest member of our family, we also keep fancy goldfish in a 7'x2'x2' tank, although I'm slowly winding that tank down, as I want to start over with a planted tank... A couple of big water bowls out back with basic gf, I've got a fully planted 4' viv with 5 GTF's, an axolotl from a bunch I reared from eggs 2 years ago, and two chinese crested dogs who are as mad as cut snakes :roll: ... We've also got a 2 year old kid as stated above and we all live happily (if not a bit cramped) in a 2 bedroom apartment. :D

Looking forward to browsing this board and meeting some of you!

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
