Hi Guys/Girls, my wife has finally convinced me that it would be a good idea to get some beardies as pets, she wanted a snake but sorry but i don't do snakes, fine to look at behind thick glass but i just don't like the feel of them and couldn't bear to have one in the house (one day i might change my mind) but anyway i digress, Heidi wanted a snake and convinced me to go to our local reptile shop to find out more about them (snakes that is) however while looking at snakes out of the corner of my eye i saw this cute little lizard waving at me, to which i said to my wife now that's a reptile i could get to like, within a few minutes we were both "sold" on beardies. we immediately ordered a vivarium 4ft x 2ft x 2ft with all the lights heaters rock sand and stuff we'd need to keep them happy and healthy.
well we collected their house on Wednesday and have set it all up ready for the beardies arrival today, we are getting 3 one male and a couple of girlfriends for him lol we're both getting quite excited as are our dogs Chevy and Blazer who keep looking at the vivarium waiting for something to move... they used to watch our aquarium when we kept tropical fish (until the bracing bar broke off and fell into the tank along the light fittings, not good for the fish) and rather than repair the aquarium and start again we decided on reptiles.
I've been reading this forum for about a week now and learnt a lot about beardies and how to keep them happy and healthy..THANKS
no doubt i will be on asking questions when we get them home and settled in.
we've decided on a name for the male "Fonzie" from happy days as beardies look so Cool!!!! but still looking for names for the girls.
sorry to have such a long first post. i promise i'll keep future posts a bit shorter.
Thanks for reading i'll post photos of Fonzie and his girls when i get them home.
all the best for now
