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!

As far as you know you take the screen off, as you need full UVB for noodle. Check in the enclosures area, too, a lot of questions about fixtures in there. Unless someone here has an under the counter fixture and can help you with it. I use Power suns on lampstands, so haven't used a tube for since 2009.

I have Spike in a 20 gallon for the time being since hes still a baby and he has 18in and Sunny is in a 29 gallon and he has a 24 in so since Noodle is an adult and probably in a large tank I would go with the 24inch

oh yea and don't buy the Repti sun from a store they are like $50 but on Amazon you get them for like $26 and get it in like 2-3 days

The only thing to be careful of with buying bulbs online is the possibility of it being defective and then having to deal with a lengthy return process. Where store bought ReptiSuns are expensive, you can at least return it same day/next day and replace it immediately.

true I guess I kinda have it easy tho since I have known the owner of the little family owned pet store I go to for about 12 years he told me if I ever got a defective one just to bring it to him and he will send it back to the company he buys his from and he will replace mine with one from his store until the new working one returned since his return process would be faster then mine

Thanks guys I just got home from a busy last day at work I'm going to miss some of my people there. Thank Holly for that it was really pretty. So I went ahead and bought Noodle a basking light. Its an Everyday Living 72W clear household bulb also says its Mercury free. Would that be ok for her?
