Hello everyone, i have enjoyed reading the posts and learning so much thank you for such a great site!! I have always loved bearded dragons but never really thought of owning one, until I met a beautiful yellow female at my local reptile store! she wasn't for sale but i would go in there just to visit her 1x a week! So then i decided that when i found the right one i would adopt! I got everything ready and had an empty 30 gal tank for 1 month 
My hubby said we should get an adult because babies are crazy! I really wanted to find a breeder of the yellow and was waiting to hear back on when they would have more for sale. I went to petsmart to get fish food saw the lil tiny babies they had 2 one was only 3 1/2 inches frm head to tail! the other was around 5 1/2 and was missing the tip of tail. the tiny one just laid as close as he could to the light and was very lethargic up comes the lady that works there scoops out tiny for a 7 yr old kid. so the bigger one captivated me he was so curious kept liking the window where i was touching. THEN up comes a 9ish yr old boy with his mom basket overflowing with every possible WRONG thing for a baby BD. and oh boy he started freaking out because they sold "HIS" baby the one he wanted said he didn't want the "broken" one The lady that worked there told him that that dragon has been waiting for a long time and because oh his nipped tail no one wants him! the boy didn't care he cried screamed ect. When they left to head to the nearest store with tiny babies. i asked her how long have they had him? she said at least 3 shipments of babies had come and gone! And that's when i became him/hers slave! I fell in love! I'm always the rescuer of unwanted animals, although i doubt he needed rescuing i had to bring him home. I never planned on buying from a big chain petstore, but i needed to show that lil dragon a real home! well it's been 2 adorable weeks! its funny i read so much about the care and feeding of dragons before, i almost didnt believe it was possible for them to eat so much, and at petsmart crix prices i think ill need a loan from the bank! hopefully fed ex will be delivering my crix today! thank for reading about my lil dorkis thats what i call him cause he is such a dork makes me lol. (im sure that not its official name) :mrgreen: I would post pics if i knew how :idea:
