christy, thank you for your support, i will keep it up!
beardie osk, if people take the time to type to me the least i can do is reply. even if there is no question, i like to reply just to thank them on a personal level... THANK YOU :wink: !
i love his reds too. i like the way his pattern looks after a fresh shed. all the colors look so rich, like an oil painting. i'll try to take the beardy belly pic after he sheds, just to make sure he's stress free.
i tried getting up close to him and just talking softly. he didnt seem too scared, just alittle weary of me. i figure i'll take it in baby steps, don't want to be to ambitious. thanks again!
abi, i appreciate your concern for him, i will continue to keep you updated. in fact, i'm uploading some pics at the end of this post :wink: .
iluvlizardlips, that is sweet you show such affection for your beardies. i can understand how you wouldnt want to kiss a water turtle or something but if beardies are kept right, they are clean! like i said above, i tryed getting up close and just talking to him... he seemed a little nervous but he didnt run away. i'll try giving him a peck after he's completely comfortable with me up close. the initials LG could stand for so many positive things, for the time being i think it suits "him" just perfectly. thanks again for your input

barbara, you were right! i came home this afternoon to find his little head shedding all around. i took some pictures which are at the end of this post. thanks again for sharing your wisdom, you've helped me alot already :wink: !
mummybear, as i said previously: anyone who leaves me a comment deserves a reply at the very least. i appreciate your compliments and kind words. it's so true that good things come in small packages! his beautiful colors are really starting to develop. i hope you have enjoyed seeing his progress from week to week and i hope you like the pictures at the end of this post :wink: !
denise, it make me happy to hear how many people snuggle or kiss their beardies. i thought i was wierd for wanting to :roll: ... as i posted above i am going to take it slow, just talking to him at a close distance. then after he gets used to that, i will move in :love5: . thanks again for all your help and concern. i think you'll like these pics...
bigmonkeyjoe, aww thats so sad! im very happy to hear you saved him and that he recovered. i love to hear about someone rescuing a beardie instead of purchasing one. there are so many dragons who need a good home, it's great to know this beardy has gone to one. thank you very much for your kind words. i hope you enjoy the pics i posted :wink: .
luvthydragon, it's great you want to get out there and rescue some beardies! i have been telling everyone to do the same. any time i hear someone say their thinking about a reptile i recomend rescuing a dragon... so long as they understand their needs. i understand the money thing, believe me :roll: . i have my eye on another beardie that i simply can't afford. thanks again for all your kind words, ill be sure to keep posting pics/vids!
dociledragons, no new vids tonight, but i did post two yesterday on my other thread:
[ Invalid URL Removed / p= t=85167 f=30 ]
one is good quality but the other is pretty lame :roll: . i posted some new pictures tonight though... here they are :mrgreen: !
as you can see, his head is shedding! it even looks like the inside of his nasal passages are shedding, theres a little tubular scale that was poking out of one nostril. hopefully the end of his shedding coupled with the stronger light will jumpstart his appetite

forgive my terrible memory but someone pervoiusly asked me what i used to make the levels... i washed his towells today so i took a pic while they were out. cardboard boxes :mrgreen: !
i forgot to mention, i took off the sliding screen top today. i had to cut away the silicone the previous owner had put there to hold it on. now that it's off he gets alot more of the reptisuns rays, and a little more ventilation.
heres the tank after i put the clean towells and decor back in. i couldnt take a pic like this before because the screen blocked the view.
here he is enjoying his nice new tank, not to mention the hot spot. he was in another container for about 1 1/2 hours while i cleaned everything so he cooled down a little. as you can see, no worse for the wear :mrgreen: .
hope everyone enjoyed the pics and like i mentioned, there is a couple videos i posted HERE yesterday:
