This is Sydney my citrus bearded dragon. She's getting ready to shed so she's not nearly as bright red and gold in this picture as usual.
Yes, she is wearing a collar. I made it out of elastic and monitor the fit to be sure it allows for her to puff up. I use it as a safety leash when I take her out of the house. It's attached to my necklace to keep her from falling off me or jumping if startled.
Sydney falls asleep snuggled up to my neck. She's absolutely limp when I pick her up to put her to bed. She sits on my shoulder and watches the world. She wants to be with me and will scratch on her terrarium until I pick her up.
About 15 years ago I raised a standard male beardie. He was great. I ended up giving him to a breeder. I got Sydney when she was just six inches. I just love her!
How fast they grow! I got Sydney from a local breeder on October 12, 2012.
