I've not been on here in ages, but since my last visit my reptile family has grown. I started out with just Steve. Since then I've got another beardie that I named Stephanie.
She was a rescue, in a terrible state when I first got her; she was mucky, smelly (the smell was that bad I was nearly vomiting as I bathed her), cold, underfed, and the only thing she'd eaten her whole life was juvenile bearded dragon food (those dry pellets!) and mealworms. She now eats like...... well nothing I've ever seen before! The other day she chowed down a whole box of crickets and 2 handfuls of grated veg. She was a shy little thing, little energy, and just had that lethargy that unloved abandoned pets have. Then I introduced her to Steve, and she's like a new dragon! Just seeing him though her viv door purked her up, then once I knew she was well enough they use to run around the living room together, and now they live together. He cheers her up, and he's different too; he eats more and runs about more, he's learning a lot from her; they're definitely happier together which is weird. I always thought Steve liked being alone, and wouldn't like other dragons, but he's really taken a shine to her
As well as my new beardie (Stephanie!), I've got a few other reptiles since last time: an albino leopard gecko, a collared lizard, a dragon agama and an African house snake. As well as a few insects: various cockroaches, marbled mantid, chilli rose tarantula, and emperor scorpion.
Hopefully I'll get up some pics of them all on here soon!
P.S. I have a spare 4ft viv, any ideas of other stuff to put in it? (stuff I don't already have)
