So a month ago to this day (4/09/2015) I'd gotten from PetSmart a new household companion! I was told a bunch of things by the sales associate, such as what to get (Which most of which is not in use because people here pointed out the dangers of them) and even the gender of the barely six inch beast! I was told it was a boy, so my girlfriend and I named him Keegan!
Now, Keegan in Celtic means "A little fire" so we went with it since 'he' is a dragon and dragons breath fire and so forth. (Who could guess I spend to much time in a fantasy world?)
Wrong! Keegan ISN'T a boy, thanks to the help of you wonderful people, I've learned a thing or two. One of which being "How to identify bearded dragons sex." Well I will still love this lil' now 9 inch Beardie with all my heart, as will my girlfriend who actually cried when I was trying to explain the whole gender stuff to her and how she could check herself. I decided to let her get a list of names and we'd go over them together. We decided "Why stray from a good thing" and picked the name meaning "The Fiery Sun" which is a greek name.
Elektra! (Not named after the butt-kickin' Marvel 'hero', but I think my girl will be equally as cool!)
Now I was trying to remember the name of goddess in Darksouls where you'd find notes reading "Amazing Chest Ahead!" but I figured there is no way in hell I'd be allowed to name our pet after a video game character. So Electra it is and I love it all the same. Especially since, as you can see, she has little lightning bolts streaming down her back! They vary in color, from darker to an almost metallic gold. She really is a beautiful girl, and healthy to boot.
Now. Imma be starting this page and every now and again I'll post new things going on in her life. Such as pictures of her growth, and new stuff in her life. I'll start with something simple, that being the new addition to her enclosure! Her Hammock arrived!
Also the way we're judging how rapidly she is growing is her mom puts her on her own chest and measures her in comparison to her chest tattoos. This was a couple weeks back but here, I'll post another tomorrow.
I'll be sure to get more pictures of my baby girl soon.
