Reptar and myself are new!

Hey all, I just picked up my first beardy last Thursday (4 days ago)! I have been planning to get one for a few months now, and found a breeder in the area, so I was just patiently (well, TRYING to be patient) waiting for the hatchlings!

Reptar is the name, and he/she is about 3 1/2 weeks old (just a baby!). Reptar is eating well and enjoying his simple home. I have it setup with paper towel substrate, and a log for basking (temps gradient on the log is from 100-110), and then another fake log thing on the other end for him to chill (at a nice comfy 80-85) under the UV lamp

Here are some pictures! (The orange ones are flashless, hence the odd color) Apparently my hand makes a nice bed as he definitely took a nap

Right now from head to tail, Reptar is about 5" long.

Hi and welcome to the forum! Took a look at your pictures, Reptar is precious

Thanks! I do agree that he's pretty damn adorable. He's a cuddler too, hah! When I try to put him down after holding him, he just tries to climb further back on my hand and up my arm. I'm excited to watch him grow! I've already seen him grow pretty well even just in the past 5 days, I can't even imagine him 5 weeks from now!

I'll post more pictures in a few weeks
