Hi,
I just got my new Beardie Baby addition to my family. This is my first Beardie and I have been preparing and reading as much as I can about beardies. I was told by the rescue that he is a boy and about a year old. He is eating like crazy. I have given him crickets, meal worms, kale, and collards with calcium dust and he seems to be eating it all. He loves to be held and will chill on my leg or shoulder as long as I will let him. He has a curly cue in his tail I was told was a defect he has had since he hatched. It does not seem to bother him. I am not sure what to name him yet but he looks soooo small in the 40 gal breeder tank I have set up for him. I was also told that he is a sandfire and should become very colorful as he gets older. I am not using any substrate in the tank for now since he is so little. Just tons of climbing stuff and a large log to hide under and climb on. I also got one of the lizzard lounges the attatches to the tank but he goes under it not on it. Is there anything anyone would suggest to a new beardie owner? Any tips for the little guys?
