Well, it was an unexpected surprise, but I found a beardie today on CraigsList. Something told me I needed to look at the ad. It was for a 2 year old bearded dragon that was 9 inches long from nose to tail tip. I called the attached number and asked for a picture. Once I saw that picture, I knew I needed to take him. He was thin and stressed. This is what I ended up with:

He was being kept in a 10 gallon tank. He had no name in his two years. He was eating iceburg lettuce when I got him, and he had no water in his tank. His tank was filthy with something reddish and sticky. On such short notice, all I could throw together was a 20 gallon. Here are his first few minutes home:

Bath first. He enjoyed it thoroughly!

He drank and drank and drank.

In his new tank.

New home.

He had some baby food in the bath, which he gobbled happily. Iksar is settling in and chomping on crickets. He is soooooo hungry! The poor little guy. He scares Reptor already. :p Reptar first arm waved and then head bobbed. So funny. Any way, enough rambling. I will be getting slate tomorrow!

The scary part is that they told me before I left that they have another one. My fiance would have eaten my lunch if I had brought two home though. I hope they find a good home for their second one! I really need to get some slate under the poor guy. His nails are gnarly! Has anyone ever clipped their dragon's nails before?

awww poor little guy! he is Skinny indeed.
Yes i have cut nails before, Now i carnt remember very well, but if you look at the nail there is the black bit which goes over the nail and if you look from the side there should be a small brown line of sorts , DO NOT CUT INTO THIS,
Just try and cut the tips,
Or you could see if your local vets will do it for you..
I think this guy is very thankfull you took him in!

Just a small update. I got all up and personal with Iksar, and it turns out he is a she! I saw no evidence of manness. :p

Does this mean a name change is in order? Like Iska?

I don't think so! The Iksar are a race of characters you can play in Everquest 2. They are lizard people. We thought she looked like an Iksar! It's gender neutral enough! :D

Here are the adjustments to Iksar's cage!

Iksar enjoying it all!

Reptar has been eyeballing her from across the room and showing off all his best moves. He is twice as active as normal and eating like a horse! He alternates between head bobbing and arm waving. Aren't all ladies a bit intimidating? :mrgreen: He is very interested in what I'm doing at her cage. These are pictures of him hiding from her. He hides here and peeks over the edge of the wood piece at her! (When he isn't running all over and glass dancing!)

The light kind of washed out his face. :?

That's adorable. I'm so glad that you've taken her under your "wing". I hope she'll be happy beardie now. :)

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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
