I finally got my beardie after months of researching! I am honestly really excited and a bit scared..I wasn't planning on getting one for a little while longer but this morning something just fell into my lap, this boys owner wanted to trade him and his entire setup for a 55g tank which I happened to have..So I jumped on it.He said he was a leatherback, but from the pictures I could tell he wasn't and he definitely isn't one.He also said he is a red colored one(I loveee reds, of course I'd love him if he wasn't) and he also said he was about 8 inches, which I don't believe.My dad said the guy said he was about 7-9 months but IF he is 8in(will measure tomorrow) either his growth got stunted?, or he a bit younger going by growth charts.But again, I am almost certain he is longer than 8 inches but I will measure tomorrow because I am TERRIBLE at guessing lengths and such.
He is the cutest little thing, I already love him and so does my dad, little brother and little sister.My mom, however, is taking baby steps.She has touched him and even let him sit on her, he climbed near her shoulder and freaked so I had to move him down further for her but she is working on it. :lol: While she was on the phone with the guy, he had said he likes seeing people and will run back and forth when you walk by so she has been trying to figure out how to get his tank in the living room..For not liking lizards she sure is making an effort to see lots of him, which is good.She thought it was the cutest thing when he fell asleep in the little dish towel I had him wrapped in.She likes how they know when to sleep because his bed time was 8pm at the other house, so being wrapped up he just fell asleep.
But enough rambling for now...Here is my boy, Kaiser:
Him on my mom, she took these and made it cute :lol:
