I'm making this thread so I can look back on my memories of my little dragon later. The goal is going to be pictures every day! That probably won't happen, but we'll see. This thread is for me to have memories of my little dragon, so even if no one else reads, that'll be okay. But please do feel free to participate!
A few days ago, I walked into my closest Petco and walked out with a dragon. I had always wanted a beardie, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. One of my friend's former foster sisters had a pair of adults, and she would bring them onto the college campus where we all go, sometimes, and let them bask in the sun or cool down in the shade of the gazebos. She'd let me hold them and they were so docile and so sweet, letting me do whatever I wanted to them. My astonishment about this was compounded by the fact that one was raised from a baby, while the other was rescued as an abused adult from a terrible home, and was loaded with parasites and mites and had rarely been handled when she was rescued. And still, she was so sweet and kind. I had fallen in love with the lizards when I was much younger, watching them in various pet stores, but these two sealed the deal in my mind and I knew at some point I would own one of these amazing lizards.
And so, when I walked into Petco that day, I invariably stopped by the tank of the baby bearded dragons. There was just one left, and she was so personable, glass-dancing when I walked by and following my movement. And so, I walked out of the store equipped with all the supplies I was told by the pet shop employees that I would need, mostly in the form of a kit designed for juvenile bearded dragons, and the spunky little beardie.
Of course, it wasn't long until I dove into research and and found this forum. It was at this point that I realized I had recieved some bad information. But, we'll get there. First, a picture of the little dragon:
After some research on here, it became apparent that juvenile beardies CANNOT be kept on sand, particularly calci-sand, which is what I was told I would need and what, incredibly, the zoo med juvenile bearded dragon kit came with and recommended. In that picture you can see that even after just a short few days her belly and legs have already been stained. So off I went to a local flooring store to get some linoleum. When I got there, the owner of the store very kindly handed me a large role of left over linoleum and told me to take it, free of charge.
So tomorrow, the dragon who needs a name will get linoleum, and, hopefully, a name!
