We never expected to get another dragon, but our neighbours next door wanted to give away Cleo, as he was called. We'd babysat him before, he's such a sweetheart. We nicknamed him Velcro because when he snuggles he never wants to go back to his viv, he hangs on as if he's made out of velcro.

So here he is. Today was his first day with us. He ate 13 supers and ate some squash, not bad for the first day he was here. He's only in a 30 gallon tank, which will be ok for now. He's 18" long but weighs only 200g. We figure he's probably 2 yrs old. Our neighbours rescued him last fall, they found him and a female (which they named Puff) on Craig's list. They were in a 30 gallon dirty tank, with sand and a huge log that took up 1/2 the space in the tank. Leo was at the bottom, he was sooooo skinny. He's gained weight, but never got the attention he deserved. I took some pics today, but will take more tomorrow. I think he remembers our place as didn't get stressed as I expected. No stress marks at all. When we let him run around the living room, he noticed our girls and immediate black beard, so his hormones are working!

He had a bath this morning, had a big poop, no smell, so not worried about parasites.

So here are a few pics, he's a yellow & dark gray, light gray colour.

Under the communal power sun in the living room:

Discovering there are girls in those tanks up above, he has a great black beard for such a skinny boy:

On the couch, he's got a pretty diamond pattern on his back:

Hope you enjoy

So now Didi & Leo are alseep (again, they're up and down all winter), so only Lonzo and Gabriel are up. Gives me extra time but I miss all my boys. Have to give Rubio more water, he didn't drink last time I offered, so will do that again. Can't believe Xmas is only 2 days away, so starting my baking today. Finish it tomorrow after work & then on Wednesday, I have nothing to do! YEAH, can relax, read, be lazy, then work Thurs & Fri & off until Jan 10! Yeah for vacation time, can't wait!

I still have Bunny out every night, she's alot of fun, likes to jump off my hand unto the plush blanket I have in the living room and watch TV with me. Tonight it's the movie "Sound of Music" one of my favourites, so we'll watch that, then off to bed, I have to be out of the house tomorrow at 6:35a, I'm normally not even awake at that time, at least I'm done by 3p.

There is a really fun picture of Santa's sleigh with 8 dragons all hitched up, check out the home page, the first entry. It's fantastic and how the owners got the dragons to stay in a straight line & not fight is amazing! Really gave me a laugh. I can't even imagine getting my guys in that lineup with one of them jumping onto the other, mouth wide open, teeth flashing, waiting to take out a chunk of one of the other's tail :lol:

Thanks, it was a bit of a shock, but hopefully all goes well for my son & Tara. As for Bunny, she's in her hide & I can only see her back end! Hopefully she'll wake up soon, she doesn't mind being handled & we're going to watch "The Sound of Music" together. She likes to jump around when I have her out & try to run away. She's such a lot of fun. It's nice to have fun with my boys during the day & then have fun with her at night! Best of both ends of the day!

Have a great Christmas Day & keep in touch!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Thanks Holly, Diane, Lori and BlueDragon, hope your holidays are good, too. I'm still baking, but now finally cooking the buns I made. I'm off to my nephews in the am, then back to feed Lonzo and Gabriel (they're the only ones awake right now), then back to my nephews for Xmas dinner & I'm also staying the night, which I'm really looking forward to.

So here are some pics I took over the last few days:
Didi before he decided to start sleeping again:

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
