Phillip, My new dragon!

After many, many years of wanting, and several months of preparing I finally got my dragon! I was going to wait and order one from a breeder online, but today, when I went to Petsmart I knew I just had to have him. He was the prettiest baby and was sold to me as a fancy dragon for an extra $20. It took me a long time to decide if I still wanted him, but how could I resist his little, cutie face? None of the other connected with me like he did.

Does he look like he's going to colorful? Maybe orange? In the store he was lighter with brighter orange on his back.

So far he's eaten 3 crickets, 1 small roach, and a piece of salad.

They were just looking between glass.

This year,after much discussion, Phillip decided he wanted to be a lizard wizard for Halloween. The poor creature. I have no idea how he puts up with me!

Well, in the last picture he looks like he's smiling so I don't think he's having too much trouble putting up with you.

Also, he looks freaking adorable.

I can always give him roaches and everything will be ok.

Phillip had so much fun sleeping under his new platform last night that he never came out in the morning. At about 10:30 I decided to take him out myself. I'm not sure if it was the right thing to do, but he seems alert and happy. I'm hoping I don't need to block up the hole. I really like that he has a nice dark place to sleep now.

I finally got a proper scale today and was able to weigh Philip. He is a 518 grams
