Today, while I as out running errands, my husband was home, alone, left to his own devices. I was gone, maybe 3 hours, tops.
I came from to find that he had bought our baby beardie a new enclosure. No, not the one I intended to buy, but it's the thought that counts, right? And don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the new one he bought, but for anyone who knows me in real life, knows I am a perfectionist and I HAVE to plan things before they actually happen. I don't really do surprises.
So, our baby beardie, Spike, is roughly 2.5 months old, if that and only 9 inches long right now. (We did get her from a local pet store, so age is approximate, on March 26th so we haven't had her very long.)
So, now that her tank is even BIGGER (which bigger is better, I know, but I don't think she cares at this age.)
Tonight has resulted in a LOT of glass scratching and dancing. Which, yes, she does have stress marks, but come on; how would you feel if your house got even bigger AFTER you had just gotten used to the other one?! A little overwhelming right?
I am a mother- children wise, canine wise, and now reptile wise. If you see your little one stressed and panicked, you're going to react right? Of course. Most would. And what would you likely do? Pick them up, obviously.
This is the end result of Spike:
And yes, that is my shirt she is snuggled in. <3 But how could you deny such a little cutey? She just needed some cuddles.
