Hello everyone...
Update:
I haven't been on in a while - I moved from CT to FL and was forced to part with my beardie Falkor.
We did not have room in the truck w/ furniture and our 2 cats and took several days to get to FL (I couldn't convince anyone to overnight her to me). The good news is my friend Amber is a huge reptile lover - she has a tegu, 3 snakes and now Falkor. I gave her everything she would need to take care of her and she send me pictures all the time, I know she's in good hands (ofcourse I still miss her terribly).
Well, we have been living in FL for just over a month and I decieded I would start looking for a tank on Craigs List and saving for a beardie at the upcoming Reptile Expo scheduled for June in Tampa. Well, Charles at Tundra Dragons was giving away a beardie for cost of shipping only so I emailed him... I must be one lucky girl, because it all worked out (earlier then I planned to get a beardie - but I feel so blessed, missing Falkor hasn't been easy). Charles mailed this little guy to me on Wednesday, and he arrived yesterday evening. Wow- he was so small compared to Falkor's 19" (but she was smaller than he is when I got her), it's so weird holding a tiny beardie, lol.
Anyways, he is such cute little guy. These pictures don't do him justice (he's got such beautiful colors already). He's got quite a bit of stress marks, but I guess if I was in a box for 24hrs I would be stressed too... :shock: I was trying to think of a fun name for him and I came up with "Hoggle" from the movie Labrynth. Let me know what you guys think of my new pooper... :?:
He was a bit shy when I first put him in his new home...
Here's his tank for now - I'm hoping to have something nicer in a month or two...
He was glass surfing after about an hour of being shocked in the corner, lol...
Here he is, all settled in before lights out!
