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!

Sorry guys I haven't been on lately. I have been helping my steep dad at his job don't know if I'll get paid for it but it beats sitting at home all day. Anyway Noodle is Noodle she has become very active in her tank and in the house. Aside from that I'm at the hospital right now with my mom who needs to have surgery to have her gallbladder taken out because she has gall stones in it. I'll update you guys as I get news

Good luck to your mom, the surgery for gallbladder removal has improved greatly over the last 10 years or so, hope she gets better soon. It's always a drag to have to have surgery, glad you're there for her. And glad you're working with your step-dad. Hugs to you and Noodle.

My mother had that operation about 37 years ago and she is doing fine. She never had any problems with the surgery. I know medical science has improved much since then so I really don't think she will have any problems.

Well quick update for you guys. My mom's doctor at the ER told her that right now she didn't need to have the surgery. Her doctor broke down 3 scenarios of when the gallbladder causes pain.

The first scenario, is when you have gall stones but they don't cause you any pain at all through your whole life but maybe you have a sharp pain because one of the gall stones passes through or hits the wall of gall bladder. No problem take some meds and your fine.

The second scenario, is when you have gall stones and through your life the pain gets worse and worse to where it becomes unbearable, but the gall stones don't cause your gall bladder to become infected which then doesn't cause your liver or your liver's lymph nodes to become infected. Her doctor told her the only way that a surgeon would do surgery is if maybe the pain got worse and worse or the gall bladder finally became infected. She called this group the frustration group because you can go through this for many years.

The third and final scenario, is when your gall stones cause your gall bladder to become really infected to where it causes your liver and your liver's lymph nodes to become infected. This is where a surgeon would do surgery to remove it because they don't want it to cause problems to your liver.


My mom's doctor put her in the second group. Because my mom's lab results came back all good and normal. But she told her that it could change in days, weeks, or even years down the road. Her doctor just told her that if the meds she prescribed to her don't take the pain away and my mom can feel pain to come back because then that means it has become worse. Anyway thanks guys for the love I will post pics of Noodle later today for you guys

I'm glad she doesn't need the surgery yet, but sounds as if that will be coming down the road. Hope the meds work for her and she doesn't have to have it period. My mom had stones in her gallbladder but she has severe asthma and refused to be put under, so they used this method using shock waves and that crushed the stones into little bits that eventually made their way out. And she never had any more stones, so that was successful for her.

See, I knew they improved things a lot. They know more now then they did when I was in High School. I'm glad she won't have to have surgery, at least just yet.

Ok so quick update on my mom. Wednesday she went to go talk to a surgeon about her gallbladder. Well he told he because it was so inflate he wanted to go ahead and do surgery on her. So today she had her surgery and now she is recovering and everything went great with it. She is on a low to no fat diet for the next 5 weeks and then after that everything is good to go

Ok quick question about Noodle. I just checked on her, I usually do before I go to bed and I usually cover her tank up with my blanket so my light doesn't bother her sleeping. Anyway I just checked on hr and she has a black beard while sleeping and she has her back all crooked up.I also dust her supers 3x a week with Fluker's calcium and vitamin D3. I would take a picture but I moved her to check on her and that's how I noticed her black beard. If she goes back in that position I'll take a picture but she has never black bearded before other than one time I was so terrified when she got freaked out her her UVB light

Ok so I took some pics of her before she went back to sleep.

If you look at the middle of her back you can sort of see a crook in her back
