Hi I am a new Beardie Owner. My wife bought the dragon impulsively as she often does with many pets but fortunately for this dragon I fell in love with reptiles like when I was a kid and have spent 3 weeks researching and building a custom viv for her. The viv is about a week or less from completion, mostly waiting on glass and the Mega Ray to arrive.
Name: Maleficent, named by my 4 year old daughter, is a "fancy" dragon from Petsmart...but looks pretty much regular as it gets I would love a fancy morph for another dragon but this dragon is what we have now and will be treated super well!
Age: Honestly not sure. Petsmart said 4 months but she fit into a tiny tupperware to come home and from what I have read a 4 month would be larger. She is now 10.5 inches and I have yet to see her get full no matter how many crickets I give her. Shes able to eat a good 40+ twice a day which has been quite expensive so we started a dubia roach colony but will need to let that thrive before we can feed out of it yet. She has ignored her greens mostly so far, romaine and collard is what we have tried so far with carrot shavings and some fruit shavings mixed in. Currently trying the Juvenile flukers food with pellets and freeze dried worms and crickets but she only picks out the worms.
I am very excited to share with the community the custom viv I have made once I get a youtube vid made of it. Will be next week when I post it. I think you will all be pleased. This may be my first post but I have spent weeks learning from your guides, discussions, and replies. I look forward to joining the community.
