It's amazing what almost 4 months can make. That's when my love got me Copper, September 5, 2011. He has 4 other sub-adult beardies who currently reside at his ex's home. Copper was the ideal pet, and we have had no problems with him from the start. His vivacious & mischievous attitude, instantly brings a smile to our faces. We first started putting him on our bed to roam, however once he figured out how to jump off, there was no stopping him. He's definitely man of the house, and has that Alpha-male attitude to go with it, even though he's probably the youngest.
Shortly after, we rescued Onyx from Petco. At first, we were very concerned about Onyx, as Copper was at home when handled. Onyx, was a completely different story. At nearly twice the size of Copper, Onyx was as skittery as they come. We also had to see how Onyx managed his hunting and moving, as he/she has a significant tail nip, as well as missing 4 out of 5 toes on it's left rear foot. After we had figured all of this, then it seemed that he/she was impacted. Sluggish, barely eating, barely moving, but still very skittish, a few warm baths everyday, with a belly message, seemed to remedy that. Today, Onyx is very laid back, and a favorite of my love's youngest daughter. Though for a while we referred to Onyx as "him" we have recently began to rethink this, and are just awaiting the right time to double check him/her.
Nearly a month ago, Ruby joined our happy little home. Though I was anticipating a dragon half her size, she came home via John at Imperial Dragons, and she was twice as beautiful as her pic! Her disposition has earned her the nickname Big Momma. :lol:
Seeing Copper and Ruby interact is priceless...Copper, despite his size, acts all tough, bobs his head, puffs and darkens his beard...I'm still trying to get a pic, he's too darn cute! Ruby is much more...ambitious when it comes to interacting with Onyx. Simply because, Onyx doesn't care either way.
