New Here :)

Hi all! I'm Kendra, mommy to 2 Beardies. Draco is my boy, supposed to be about 10 months, but I think he's a little older as he's already 19 inches long! Zaria is my girly, 4 yrs old but she's only been with me for a couple of months. She was in a smaller 20g aquarium when I got her, quite skinny and only 13 inches (but with a stubbed tail). She's plumped up very nicely and much more active and social now. I haven't had any pets but fish and cats in over 10 years, until this summer, so I'm still learning, but both my babies are happy, healthy, and good eaters.

And well, not actually expecting them to *do* anything right away, I decided to let them meet face to face and say Hi to one another. A total of 5 minutes together, and my back turned for half a minute, and they're in love So, friday Zaria gave us 17 eggs, from what I know her first mated clutch, and by flashlight I'm positive at least half of them are fertile. All are cooking now, and so we shall see what the next couple of months brings!

Here are a couple of pics of my babies

Draco @ 7 months playing with my daughter

Draco now @ about 10 months - 19in from nose to tip of tail

Zaria- 4yrs and 13 inches

Zaria- picking her favorite snack - waxworms and mealworms

and the eggs trying to keep them from getting trampled, I made a quick makeshift box for them with a light over it for the night til I could get an incubator the next morning

Having the eggs must be so exciting-- let us know how it turns out....

Has she seen a vet since she layed?

She hasn't been to a vet since she laid. Does she need to? She's eating and pooing fine and acts back to her normal self. I didn't feel any other egg bulges in her belly after she finished. She popped the first one out early evening, about 6, then the others out around 11pm within about 15 minutes.
