Wow, how dexterously he jumps! You have a great hunter growing up! :love:
I see that his appetite is no worse than Zsa Zsa!
Oh man he has a great appetite.
And as you can see in the video he goes bonkers for a hornworm πŸ™‚

He is such a lively little guy, amazing!
They told me at the shop where we got him that "this dragon is an acquired taste" they told us no one there could do anything with him. He is spicy to be sure, but he is also extremely interactive and inquisitive. If he is in the mood he'll tolerate being handled some, if not Katie bar the door lol.
He is a lot like Zsa Zsa when we got her. He took one look around and claimed his kingdom. Zero stress marks. Zero hiding, and the most amazing is absolutely zero waving at Zsa Zsa. Although I've seen her wave at him twice.

I'm very interested to see how Stumpy grows. Will his character change? Will he settle down with age?

Stupmy REALLY likes his hornworms πŸ˜‰πŸ™‚πŸ˜

What is this stone that Stumpy is sitting on at the beginning of the video? I was looking for something like this (flat and big) but couldn't find it. I ended up putting flat ones, but they are still round like sea pebbles.

It is sandstone, we did flagstone in our back yard and I saved a few pieces to use in my setups.

I have a big piece of slate (shale) in Zsa Zsa's.
I picked that up on a road cut in northern Nevada

Yes, it's very beautiful there. I liked the snag and the mushrooms on it. It's obvious how much love you put into the yard. And I also like that at any time you can go out and bask in the sun with your dragons, it's great!

Am I losing it ...let me catch up as I never met Stumpy.
We've had him for a week. I went to lok at a coulpe supposed paradox beardies (they weren't πŸ˜”) and Christina walked by Stumpy and he went spastic trying to get to her. His stump was all nasty and covered in substrate. She thought it was fresh and infected. Thomas came and got him out to show her he was all healed, but it was to late for me, she had already fallen in love with him.
We both love him already hos personally is as big as king kong.

I agree πŸ‘ I love taking them out like that. They do get spoiled to it though lol.
That wood is some we picked up in Washington. We carried it on the ferry off the peninsula and then all the way to Las Vegas. We brought back several large pieces πŸ™‚

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
