holy cow...getting OFF sand transformation. *pics*

[junebug82]

We just got a bearded dragon off craigslist. When we went to pick "him" up...we could tell that he truly was well loved...BUT his previous owners did not have any good info as to what "good" care was. "Wart" was in a 40 gallon breeder, on sand, with his only light being from a "plant" light. Poor little dude smelled terrible!

I decided to hold him for our half hour drive home and he was such a sweety! As soon as we got home I took a few pics...then put his stinky little bum in a nice warm bath. That's when we discovered that he was a SHE and needed a name change! (Ya can't call a girl wart...lol)

He she is before her bath.

The first day home she refused to eat anything...but on day 2 it was like she'd always been here..she was ready for whatever we gave her. She is chomping down supers and hornworms...and just tolerating the fact that there are fresh veggies in her viv everyday. She was pretty surpised to be put into a clean viv..with NO sand...she honestly seems lost..but now she'll all good! She has been here since Tuesday...here' what she looks like now...

She is very pretty and looks so much better. I am sure she is thrilled with her new clean home and all the food.

What a difference!!!!! Nice job!

I noticed the whole cucumbers - how does she do with those? I usually peel mine and shred them.

It's actually zucchini..and I think hubby cut that up! I usually cut it in half lengthwise and then slice it thin. I do the same with the acorn squash and butternut squash Braxas has not touched anything other than the live food (hornworms and supers)....but Padme and Leia do very well with the slices I of course shred for the babies though

She's so pretty. What a drastic change in such little time! Have you named her yet? (Maybe you already said, probably didn't catch it :? )

Her name is Braxas (we call her Brax). We got the name from heroscape....Braxas is a female dragon that spits acid...she is black and gold and tough...lol
