Our new baby - now named w/ new pic

[ncmomof2]

Hi, I'm Julie. We picked up our new baby from Carolina Classic Dragons two days ago. I've been lurking for a couple months to be sure I knew as much as I could as we got the enclosure and everything all set up, but thought I should introduce myself/him now that he's home. We're pretty sure he's a boy, but we're waiting until he finishes shedding :roll: before finalizing his name. He's currently 8.75" long and just over 2 months old. I'm happy to say that he's eating fairly well for only his 2nd full day here while he's shedding no less -- ~4 discoids and 7 reptiworms so far today. The reptiworms just arrived today and he seems to like them much better than the discoids -- goes after them much faster. I'm assuming that his appetite is going to pick up as he finishes his shed and gets more accustomed to his new home.

Here are some pix (the pic used in my siggy and avatar was taken by the breeder a couple of weeks ago and is a better representation of his color):

Here's his whole enclosure (although he's not visible):

I made the big rock thing on the right, I'll try to post pix of the process on the DIY board soon.

See update in 3rd reply.

We decided to name him Mangar-Kunjer-Kunja (just Kunja for short) who is a Central Australian lizard god: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangar-kunjer-kunja.

And here's a new pic now that he's mostly done shedding

I have now! They're here: http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=151228. The pix were easy but it took me a while to get the descriptions written out!
