i guess i should introduce myself before jumping off and posting questions.
my name is megan. i live in davie, fl (which is pretty far south). i have worked at a pet store for the past 3+ years and i have a small zoo at my house which i am most fond of.
the zoo consists of:
1 horse - Falcon
1 dog - Reina
3 cats - Tigger, Kio, and Bowser
2 foster kittens - Pugsly and Paisly
2 rats - Drizzle and Tinkerbell
5 bettas - 4 boys, 1 girl... no names
2 fish tanks - 10 gal goldfish and 20 gal semi-aggressive
and of course...
3 bearded dragons - Trogdor, Siren, and Zhu (pronounced "zoo")
most of my pets were rescues. trogdor, my beloved "old man" and first dragon, was bought off of a kid who was keeping him on pine bedding and only feeding him a small mouse once a week. he has a permanently bent foot so he walks on one ankle and he is around 5 years old now. siren was bought off of a girl who fed him ten crickets a week and had no UVB bulb for him. when i broght him home my boyfriend asked "is it dead?". he is missing a foot and the end of his tail as well as several toes (i assume from being kept in a bin with others at the breeder's for the first 6 months of his life). when i got him he was very dark and extremely thin. now he is fat, happy, and very light with orange markings. he is about a year or so old. and Zhu i aquired from a very nice lady who was simply downsizing her animals. he is a gorgeous male. when flustered he turns bright yellow. he is around 2 years old.
all of my boys are quite the characters. and i definately love them.
i am incredibly happy to have found a site with such friendly and knowledgable people! i hope i can help some people out with dragon problems or questions, too.
And wow, you sure did make some amazing rescues I'm glad your beardies are doing well now and I know with all of your love they won't care if they're missing limbs! :lol: Glad to have you!
lol. im just glad i could get them both out of bad situations for really cheap... well one of them at least.
trog was only 20 bucks... but i blew close to two hundred on a tank, lights, etc for him. and he is quite the spoiled dragon.
siren was 30 bucks... but he came with a tank and a clamp lamp. and i had a strip light at home. so i only blew another thirty or so on wood and whatnot. again... another spoiled dragon.
i hope to get some pics up of them soon so you guys can see them. they are such cuties. :love5:
Yeah I know, but hey, it's fun. You should take a look at what I posted in little Tatsu's picture forum page, its better. You didn't offend me. It's alright.
