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!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR, TOO, MATT & RIDLEY

I was wondering where you'd gotten to, glad to hear you did well in school & that it's done until the new year. Ridley sounds like Gabriel, constantly ripping up his newspaper, too. Sorry to hear about your car, what a drag for you...but glad to hear that Ridley thinks it's spring! Mine haven't bromated much either, Didi and Rubio slept for a week and that was it.

I have a bit of bad news, Titan lost his fight with Yellow Fungus and passed away last week. It was very sad to put him down, but he was in so much pain and the YF was all over & inside him, it was all that I could do. I'll be putting a memorial up for him soon.

A few days before he passed away a friend called me. She had rescued Leo and a female that she named Puff. She gave Leo to us in Feb/2010 and kept Puff, but she's recently gotten a new job & is working graveyard shift and can no longer care for Puff, so she's now moved in with me. It helped to ease some of the pain of losing Titan, even though he'll be forever missed. She's starting to feel at home, which is good, probably the same age as Leo, maybe 6 years old & has never laid an egg, thank goodness, hopefully that continues.

Glad you had a good Christmas day, so did I. My sis & 2 brothers and their families were out of town, so I spent the day with my mom & dad, which was good. We're all getting together at my folks for New Year's Day lunch, even my son, d-I-l and my almost 5 mo old grandson will be there, so Leo, my grandson, will finally meet his dad's whole family. About time, I say. So far that's the plan, but my son is notorious for changing his mind at the last minute. I'm so hoping, thought, that they'll all be there.

So hope 2014 is a much better year & that you do well in school and don't have a teacher that you hate, makes it easier to get through, right?

Take care!
Deb and my crew.

It's not that I hated the teacher himself I just didn't like his teaching style. It was a World Civilization class and all the info he gave us was his opinion on history he was so bias. Also this is the class I made a C in :?. I also hope that all goes to plan and Leo will get to meet all of his family. So have things gotten better between you and Leo's mother? Sorry I forgot her name. :lol: Also please post many pictures of Puff I also wish her well for no eggs same can be said for Ridley.

I'll post more pics of Puff & no, don't think things will ever be better with Tara, that's Leo's mom, but I just bear with it. As long as I can see my grandson once in awhile, that's all that matters to me!

And more pics of Ridley, too, when you have a chance!

When does school start again?

Thanks guys Happy New Year to you guys too! I will post some pics tomorrow when I can get the laptop. Quick question I noticed when I was feeding Ridley worms and giving her some calcium she had black stuff in her nostrils. I took a couple of cotton swaps and got them lightly wet and wipped her nostrils with them. I was able to get the dirt out of her nostrils but just from looking at her nose it looks like she might still have some dirt in her nose but she's basking right now sobI'll check again later when she's done. But my question is are swaps the best thing to use or can i use something better? Also I noticed a lot of times when I check on her in her cage she is pretty dark and her beard is black but its not all the time sometimes she will be light colored too. Is this normal

Ok sorry guys I know I said I would post pics last Saturday but due to the storm that's been hitting everywhere I have had to work the past couple of days and have been to tired to do much. Anyway I will post them down below enjoy. Anyway Ridley has been doing so well. She has been pooping regularly which is good i only not in her cage :angry5: oh well its only a tiny clean up thanks to all of the newspaper. :lol: Also I am so surprised I just thought of this yesterday but with me working at Kroger I could have an endless supply of newspaper because every week after Sunday morning all of the old ads we have we just throw them away since they expire. Well I'm going to talk and see if its ok if I take a few bunches to have for her cage. Also she does seem to be eating her greens more than worms so thats also good. Even though the only greens she seems to be touching is green cabbage at the moment. I don't know why but its the only thing she won't turn her nose too. :roll: Oh well as long as she is eating that's good. One thing she still does that bugs me too no end is after she basks in the morning she will flip out and run all around her cage and mess all of her newspaper up for about 2-3 hrs. its so annoying but at least she is being active. Like I said earlier she hasn't brumated at all I'm kinda of happy because it doesn't seem to affect her at all. Anyway here are some pics now.

Sounds like she's having a great time. She trashes her newspapers like Gabriel does, but it's so easy to switch it out, I don't mind :lol: Glad to hear she's active & eating & pooping. Mine haven't bromated either, which is strange; I keep waiting for Rubio to conk out but not to date. Thanks so much for the pictures, I know you've been really busy.

Out of the 7 beardies we've had only Rosie has brumated. She didn't brumate much last year but she seems to be making up for it this winter. She woke up, a few weeks ago, when she'd been asleep for 2 or 3 days short of one month asleep. She woke up on Christmas eve about 1:30pm or so. Then was asleep and woke up on New Years' day, or at least I checked on her and saw her eyes half opened so I decided she was going to wake up that day. She's been asleep since. Squirt has been acting like it's spring off and on, just not eating as much as she did last summer.

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. 😔
