Jango (pic heavy)

Hey all.. not sure who all read my introduction link so I guess i'll start by saying hi, my name is Tammy.. I'm a 38 year old, stay at home mommy of one human, my son Nathan (7yrs) and to Jango. My hubby bought Jango for me on Feb. 29, 2012 at a well known pet store near us.."Gittlers". The lady who took care of us there told us that Jango was only a few weeks old when we got him..so if that's correct he should be about 4 months old.. or somewhere around that i'm guessing. Not sure what kind of beardie he is though. He's currently in a 20 gallon reptile tank with reptile carpet and the lights that came with the tank.. I know I need to get new lights for him asap..just need the $$. He loves his crickets (dusted w/calcium 1x day) and he gets kale and turnip greens with some carrots and cucumber.. once in awhile I give him some apple, wich he loves. his basking side stays between 99 and 105 and his shady side stays about 75.

Jango loves being out of his terrarium and looking out the window, 'specially when the sun is shining and I can have it open.. I always supervise him. I don't trust him enough yet to let him have run of the house but I do let him run around on the couch and once in awhile in my son's bedroom, we block all the holes up and keep a close eye on him, a few times he'd snuggle with my son's stuffed animals and go to sleep, he even fell asleep once on the dresser behind the CD player. I can walk around the house with him hanging onto my shirt or sitting on my shoulder, wichever he feels like doing. Once in awhile I will take him into the bedroom with all the fish... yeah.. we have lots of fish.. mostly Chiclids.. 75 gallon, 55 gallon, a few 20 gallons, 10 gallons and a 5 gallon..oh also got a 29 gallon with gold fish in it.. hubby wants to get another 55 gallon and also wants to get Jango a 40 gallon breeder tank.

On with the pictures:..

what a handsome guy. and the pics of your son and him and with the flowers on Mother's Day are just adorable. My beardie also lightens up in her bath. She is similar in color to your Jango. We can sure tell he is well loved.

I don't let Jango wander the house alone.. I'm usually right there incase he does decide to take off or he's on his leash.. we have alot of hiding places that I wouldn't be able to get to him at.

Jango gets mad at me sometimes.. like if I leave for the day.. i'll come home when he's asleep.. the next morning i'll talk to him and he turns his head away from me like saying "I'm mad at you mom, you left me here all by myself yesterday".. LOL. well the past few days we've been away from home doing things with the family.. Jango sadly had to stay home since we weren't anywhere he could be with us.. he did get fed and taken care of by my hubby so he wasn't home alone. Anyways.. here's some pics I took in the past few days..

Love his colors! 7/6/12:

Awww.. thank you :) He is very much loved and I do my best to give him the best of everything.. We're hoping to get him a 40 gal. breeder tank tomorrow (Thursday).. petco has the $1/gal. going on and they ran out last week.. they said they may get in more this week, so cross your fingers.. then I need to get him new lights, top and stuff for it as well. He's my little cuddle bug since my son's in a stage where he doesn't want to cuddle much anymore (he's 7)..LOL.

I understand completely. My daughter is 6 & 1/2 and she's at that stage of life where she wants to be with friends and have her own activities. I'm proud of how social and confident she is but I missed our cuddle time horribly :( . Myah was my birthday gift and her set-up was my mothers day gift! LOL! I wanted a cuddle buddy. :wink: Good luck on your new set-up. Can't wait to see the pics! :D

well I went to petco yesterday.. no more 40 gal. breeders.. it figures..that's how my luck goes. The one girl said she called the warehouse and special ordered one and told me to call on wednesday to see if they sent one .. but she never took my name or anything.... so now i'll probably have to wait to get him one when my hubby gets enough money to get a regular reptile 40 gal. breeder.. since the reg. fish tanks are $114.. and the reptile one is $119 and it comes with a screen top

I love his "Good morning" face!

Don't you just love it when they first get up in the morning? They're all groggy and slow but happy to see you!

Gonna post new pics soon.. haven't been around for awhile. This past week I had to go to my brother's house and take care of his family's 3 beardies while they went on vacation.. they didn't trust anyone else with them, that made me all bubbly inside to hear that :) Jango is mad at me because I haven't been home much because of it so he hasn't had many cuddles, but he'll have plenty of cuddles now.. gonna be home for awhile now.. Yay!

He is a beautiful boy and growing so fast! I got my tank on craig's list had to clean it really, really good but I got a 75 gal for $60. Then I just bought the screen for about $20. (of course the rest of the stuff cost me a small fortune, but I did not care). I spend more on my pets than anything besides my home mortgage LOL...keep on cuddling you boy, they love it.

Measured Jango the other day and he measures about 14 inches long now (i'm guessing he's around 6 months going on 7 from what the lady at the pet store told me).. still not sure about his weight.. I need to find a digital scale.. wich I can afford. Jango is gonna be shedding soon.. his nose/mouth and one arm is really a whitish/grey color. I took the little half log hide out and put in his larger one.. had it since he was a baby but it was too big at the time.. he loves the bigger one.. he's always on it.. spends most of his day on it even and sleeps on it. Oh and he eats mainly crickets now.. perhaps because he's starting his shedding session?.. not sure.. but he really doesn't eat his greens at all.. but he'll eat every piece of apple I give him.. silly dragon!

I just love Jango :wink: He has such a nice round face. If ever I were to get another BD baby, I'd look for one with a short snout and round everything else 8)
