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.

Everyone was amazed by him and how big he is.. they said they never seen a bearded dragon in there as big as he is, even the other people there to get their animals checked were amazed by his size and how calm he was. She checked his poo and it came back negative.. no parasites! Yay! She looked in his mouth and all over and said he's a very healthy and good looking dragon. I mentioned that I was worried about his breathing and she said that with his age he's probably developing new sexual behaviors he didn't have before.. blowing out his beard and stomach to make himself look more tough and such.. the big bad beardie on the block. She said if it was a respiratory infection he'd do it all the time wich he doesn't, he does do it alot but not ALL the time. But even with her words of wisdom.. I still have a feeling something's wrong.. I dont' know why though. He just doesn't run around like he use to.. and have the bright orange colors like he use to.. mabie that's because he did'nt have good lights for so long and he'll get back to being himself after he gets what he needs from his lights.. Mike says I worry to much.
