Introducing Spyro!

[Sparx]

I've owned Sparx for a couple months now and she's doing wonderfully - and of course, my friend ended up wanting a baby Beardie too. Well yesterday was our local Reptile Expo and a group of friends and I went. I was planning on getting either a Tokay or a Leopard Gecko and everyone else wanted to look. Upon having only 30 minutes of the expo left, my friend found a juvenile Beardie for only $30 and begged me to buy it for her. I told her I would if she would pay me back (I have my own blackhole to feed as well as rent, school and so on to pay for) and she promised she would.

*Sighs* After getting back to her apartment, her boyfriend told her absolutely not as they couldn't even afford UVB lighting for their tortoise and they couldn't begin affording a baby Beardie (especially after using my costs as an example). Luckily, I have two roommates who adore all my animals and especially have a soft spot for Sparx so I agreed to take this new boy in - and they are excited about the new addition.

Note to self: NEVER buy a friend something on a whim. If they aren't prepared to get it themselves, they do not need it (especially a living thing).

Meet my newest blackhole, Spyro (yes, Spyro and Sparx - I know, I know :lol: ):

He's pretty handsome. I can't complain.

He is adorable! Glad you were able to keep him.

Thank you! As I am. If I knew she wasn't going to properly care for him, I wouldn't have got him for her. Oh well - I'm game for a new baby!

Wow! That's a beautiful beardie, especially for only $30! I have a little guy named Spyro as well

He was originally priced at about $60-70 but the gentleman that was selling him felt bad that my friend wanted one so bad so he reduced it to $30. So I guess I ended up getting a wonderful deal since she didn't pay a penny when it came down to it. :lol: But I loved the name Spyro - I was hoping Sparx was a boy so I could name her that, but obvi she is a she. Now I have Spyro and his "sidekick", Sparx.

And nice name choice! :wink:

Wowwww, he is a stunner! Nice name choices, too... Spyro 1-3 were my favorite video games growing up!

Thank you so much! And I LOVED the Spyro games as well, if you couldn't notice! :lol:

I'm thinking about trying to find a PS1 or PS2 so I can play them again.

There's a branch of Goodwill called Computer Works, if there's one in your area I can guarantee they have one! My next reptile will definitely be Sparx to go along with my Spyro!

I actually broke out my Playstation 1 to play them - but unfortunately I need a memory card for it now :roll: Once I get that, then I'll be set! I'm seriously craving to play that game again though - they were the best!

I'm considering naming all my reptiles after the Spyro games now! I have Spyro and Sparx... now I have an unnamed Tokay and Leopard Gecko (both female). I'm thinking maybe Elora and Cynder :lol:
