Introducing Elise

[Malon3r]

Meet Elise.
Yes, Elise after the LoL character. If it was male, it would have been my favorite champion Jarvan.

I finally got a beardie today at a Reptile Breeder Expo. Here are some pictures as an introduction

Letting my sister hold her


Eating greens already surprisingly


Full tank shot


Basking spot hovers between 104-110
Cold side, had to add a lamp to increase ambient temp to 80-85.. bit hotter then that atm directly under light but I couldnt go get a bulb lower than 40w today.

She ate some greens and I fed her some crickets, but she didnt poop today. I was going to bathe her recently, but after she ate and was relaxing she buffed and bearded at me, so I figured it was best to leave her for the night as shes in a new environment and all.

Elise is a beauty! Welcome to the forum!

You might be surprised to know that a few of us have named our beardies and pets after League of Legends characters. My puppy's name is Teemo. :]

Congrats on her. She's a very pretty girl. Never hesitate to ask questions! None of us bite here. :wink:

Should I just assume her not eating is due to relocation stress? She ate greens and about 10 crickets when I brought her home yesterday, today I got up, tried to feed her 2 hours after lights on, nothing, tried an hour after that, she ate 1 now @ 3 I tried again and she at 1, handfed a few pieces of greens and stared @ me instead of the crix running around.

And still no poops yet... Should I be concerned?

Few more pictures of her, have had her for 2 weeks now.. What a handful

Slayed the beast.


Posing for the camera


Bath time failure, she really doesn't like being in for more than 5-10 minutes
Also Does she have the tiger pattern or am I just crazy?

she is so pretty! She may be a tiger, usually tigers develop those stripes more and more as they get older so we'll see!
