Hello there,
I'm not so great with the camera but I wanted to keep a sort of scrapbook, photo thread for Norris. We got him on the fourth of July in a semi impulse buy. My husband and I have been talking about getting a bearded dragon for a little over a decade now. He's taken care of an iguana before and I've worked with a variety of herps briefly, for a former job. When we are in a store with beardies, that's where we end up. It was a given that we would one day own one, it was just a matter of timing. Well, here we are. I've recently had to take a bunch of time off to adjust to some medication for some migraine managing and was a little gloomy about it...there was a beardie looking as inscrutable as could be. Factor in a husband wanting to cheer me up and wanting the fellow for himself as well...
enough of that! Pictures!
Today is Norris' 5th week anniversary. I made him a extra large plate of greens to celebrate! I expected him to ignore it but he surprised me.
That is collard greens, a little bok choy, cactus, two blue berries and some mashed up bits of mango. This is far more salad that I normally present him. I wanted something big enough for him not to ignore. Apparently, it worked. I also think that the slope up to the food, instead of down into the bowl might have interested him?
He is still far more interested in crickets and other things that wiggle and squirm, as he should be. This was just for a bit of fun. He had that bit of bok choy stuck on his chin for a while.
