I've lurked for quite awhile on this website reading every other post, honestly! I have a huge passion for reptiles and a love of Beardies. I had it all planned out. I was already going big on the home so might as well pick the best of the best, right?! I decided I wanted a deep red Crimson shipped from a reputable breeder as red is my favorite color! I told myself I would never chance a pet store one as I have read too many stories about health issues... Well today I was going around to pet stores looking for some specific accessories for my box turtle. And of course I had to stop and admire the Beardies! I first went to Petco and found some 'Pastels' to admire. Oh how I wanted to rescue them! Drowsy eyes, dead MEAL WORMS in the bowl and just skin and bones! They looked on the brink of death
If only I had the resources to house all the Beardies in need! 
My next trip was to a family owned pet store. Again, just had to admire the little Beardies! I saw a little lady inside looking up at me. I just had to get her out and hold her! You know how it is...
She had no special Morph and a tail nip but with one tilt of her little head she had me!
I'm 19 and currently live with my mom. She had finally said okay to a Beardie but with the agreement of waiting a month or so. I told her about my little find and continued to mention it. :wink: My mom agreed to go see her but we WOULD NOT get her. My mom does not like reptiles AT ALL!
We walk in, the lady hands her to me and with the tilt of her head my mom let's out an infatuated 'awww'
Emma is now sitting in our living room
She's no high Morph and her tail isn't very long but her imperfections are perfect to me! So happy to have her apart of the family!
Funny how that worked out! My mom the reptile hater can't stop admiring her and informs me everytime Emma tilts that little head
This is my perfect little girl!
