Jelly the Dragon!

[JellyTheDragon]

Hello, all!
My name is Jay, and I'm new to the beardie scene.
I decided to get a bearded dragon because..well..obviously they are beautiful creatures, but my daughter has been asking for one for months! So after spending lots of time on this extremely helpful website, and learning all I could.. I decided the time was now!
We have had Jelly for 5 days now, and have fallen in love with him! He is alert, active, silly, and seems to really like us.
I will be very active on here, as I've already found myself having ALOT of questions these five days.
Enough about me...
Look at this cute little dude....well, I think he's a boy. A little too young for my untrained eyes to tell. But I believe I found his two indicators..
I was told he's about two months old?

Today is the first I've seen of his stress marks, which really concerned me. But after browsing the forums, I'm much more relaxed about it!

Thanks for reading!
-Jay

Welcome to the forum! I'm glad to hear he's settling in well. He looks nice and healthy. Don't worry about the dark marks, those are common with the little guys =).

Agreed, my girl had them almost constantly until she reached around 6 months, and she had proper temps, feeder size, substrate, and all. I think they are more an indicator of age and body temperature than anything.
