Is Noodle something I can put in a bowl and laugh at? No she is just a sweet bearded dragon that I instantly have fallen in love with. MY story of how I got to Noodle is a long one but I'll try to make it short just for pictures! Anyway most of you know how I first got introduced in to beardies. And for those who don't I'll tell you my happy tale, so sit around my campfire kids and roast some marshmallows its Story Time!

I first encountered bearded dragons when I went to my first Repticon back in 2006 with my step dad, my friend's dad, my friend, and me. While I was there looking at all the cool animals I noticed upon a type of lizard. What got me about this lizard was it had SPIKES!. I was instantly confused, Are the spikes pokey and do they hurt? Are they more for show than dangerous? Are they both for show and dangerous? I just kept looking at the lizard in utter aw. Well it was time to go and before we left I found out the name of the lizard was a bearded dragon. And after that all I did for years was look on the computer at them, watch videos of them, read books about them, and dreamed about them! Anyway fast forward to today and I finally have a place I can call home for my future bearded dragon and myself for now. :lol:

Now here is the story about how Noodle came to become mine. After knowing for sometime that I was going to move to my mom's house. I started talking her into a bearded dragon. At first she kept saying NO! but with much persistent I budged her a little to say that she will think about it. Well one day I was browsing the For Free section of this forum for fun like I normally do. And I saw a post where a lady, Michele, was looking for a good home for her 2 year old baby, Noodle. I instantly posted because she said she was located in Atlanta and with me moving to Woodstock she was only a 30 minute drive. Me and her started transferring emails about Noodle. Michele told me all about Noodle and I knew I wanted her. We talked on the phone and decided that the 13 of April I could come visit Noodle. (Wish I got pictures of my visit but my phone was dead :( ) Anyway I told her about my situation of moving because school was almost over for me and about me moving campuses. She told me that if I was really serious into taking Noodle she would give me her entire setup and hold Noodle until May when I decide a good date after I move to come and get her. My mom was surprised about her giving me Noodle's setup because I'm not gonna lie I was too she told me they spend $200 on her tank and all she wanted was for Noodle to go to a good home so she was willing to give me everything.

Well thats my and Noodle's story. IT has only began but we have a huge journey ahead of us. For now Pictures!

I'm not sure but I did tilt her head back and rubbed her chin and she did swallow so it does not look so bad now. She started moving about also and she is like attacking the glass with her head and rubbing her head on the hammock

No kidding, poor you and poor Ridley. Mine have taken nosedives off the counter so I'd give her a couple of days of being in her tank and keeping her warm, put the heat up a bit in her tank to help her heal up. She bonked her head and the black beard would have been from annoyance and possibly pain, so keep a close eye on her. She does look ok, though. Keep us notified, k?

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on here in a while I have been busy getting ready for school that started Monday and working a lot for money. I have been doing good. Really nothing new besides that other than I have to buy 8 textbooks for 4 classes this semester which is maybe $250-$350 in books :shock:. In other news my Alternator belt in my car decided to become torn up that I bought a replacement but tomorrow need to go get it replaced but the belt is under everything. Sucks because the belt literally turned itself over and now the alternator isn't getting any power from it which is causing my battery to go crazy. Also made my car stall and caused me to run a red light with a camera. Hope I don't get a ticket :? Also hope I can get it done pretty cheap I bought a new belt for it last week just need it replaced. I have been working crazy to try and get money because there is something going on the last weekend in September that is about -$200 I really want to go to with some friends. Other than that nothing new with me now on to Ridley.

Ridley has been back to her old self. After the fall the next day she was completely fine back to her lazy self :lol: :roll:. With school having started Monday I haven't been able to watch her to make sure she has been basking. Plus I worked Monday from 1-9pm. Anyway she still won't eat anything she ate maybe a few greens and 2 worms Thursday but other than that she hasn't fully eaten in almost 2 weeks. She did finally poop last Wednesday naturally with no pumpkin,but with her not eating much I am assuming she won't poop much either. Like I said with me not watching her as much now because of school not sure how long she basks for if at all. Also Liz I'm on chapter 6 of Shadow's Lullaby I have been reading a little at a time because since its short I don't want to read all of it and then not have anything to read. But from what I have read I have loved every minute. I wish we got more details about Paige's test though was really looking forward to reading about her casting magic or something but its still really good how you have it. Well that is the spill on Ridley and me now here are some pictures of her not many but a few.

Ridley is such a beautiful girl and looks like she is ready to burst with shed. Sometimes shedding can cause a decrease in appetite. Maybe it's time to try baby food and Carnivore Care?

I start school this coming Monday and book prices do suck. I rented all of mine from the school so I didn't have to pay too much for them thankfully.

I'm glad you like the book so far! For the most part, it won't go into detail about magic - that's more for the second book. I never thought about going into the testing and what happens during it so I might delve into that more in the second book as well. Thanks for the ideas!

Yea I have her a bath after I got home from school my car went to the shop to change the belt. I also did feed her I was going to do more variety with bok Choy but my store didn't have any left so I went with green cabbage. I looked on beautiful Dragon nutrition and showed that cabbage can be feed occasionally like bok Choy so we will see how she likes it. she did jump from baking after the bath and started going after the bowl. I was thinking that I would wing get off of worms for now to try and get her to eat more greens not take her off of worms but give her less so she isn't wanting to just eat them. Also I'm happy to know you plan on using more magic in book 2 gives me something more to look forward too

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
