Sarth, Daeds, & Starling **5/28 First Camping Trip Pics!**

I figured I would post some pics of Sarth...even though he hasn't been eating very well the past month he still finds every opportunity to be cute! I think I might just keep adding pics to this thread along with my blog, we will see!

The most recent ones are at the top.

I thought this was adorable...he was kind of lounging against the glass, looking at me like "what?!"

Just trying out a close-up of his face...it's hard to get good pics during the weekdays when the sun is going down by the time I get home

Scoping out his rearranged tank

Morning stretches, as usual

Him looking *really* grumpy sitting in the sun on the back of our recliner. And I put his tail like that, lol

My husband took this :roll:

A rare shot of him actually eating his salad

Watching Glee with me!

He loves to explore the coffee table, not sure why

I did not put him like this, lol. I should have entered it in this months photo competition!

Him still being really mad from the vet's visit the night before. He looked so hilarious, all puffed up with the black beard. I started petting him and he deflated while managing to look confused.

Just looking cute. This was right around when he stopped eating about a month ago.

What a cutie! I was looking through some of the pictures, and he has grown a lot in the last couple months! :shock:
LOL, I had the same tree branch decoration that you got Sarth! I never gave it to Dud though, he is too fat to fit on it and I didn't want him to tip it over. :roll: His new viv looks nice!

I just read through this whole thread. Love his name! We have a male beardie named Sarth too! Gotta love World of Warcraft.

AWWW what a cute little chubb

Lol thanks, I think I'll make Chubb his new nickname :lol:

Yes he has suddenly taken off! He hasn't really started growing lengthwise again yet although I haven't measured him in a couple weeks, right now I guess it's just girth :roll: I like the branch although he doesn't climb all the way on to it. He seems to like to sit behind it and drape his front over the top of the base holding the stick. I've put him on top of it a few times and he will sit there confused for about 20 minutes before he decides to climb down, lol. How much does Dudley weigh?

Thanks! Yes WoW is a great resource for dragon names, haha. I know there used to be someone with a Nefarian/Onyxia pair, and someone else has a Malygos. Sure beats the generic "spike" name

Hahaha that's awesome! It really is perfect for naming beardies!
Makes them sound so big and scary! But they're totally not.

LOL, my beardies have always been too mental to figure out high objects too. :roll:
I just weighed him, and he is about 530 grams. Dud really isn't a big dragon though: he is 15" because of his tail nip, so he just has a lot of width. His maximum weight from last summer was 525g, so he has already topped that! I honestly don't know where this weight is coming from, because he doesn't get many bugs on the diet that he's on right now (Which has obviously failed..). He must have a superworm stash somewhere that I'm unaware of.

aw he looks so plump and happy!

Little Malygos is my dragon. He's tiny but thinks he's the size of a house. :roll: I asked my guildmates what to name him and everyone said Malygos so I went with that. I wanted to maybe do one of the bronze dragonflight (since beardies are a sandy color) but Malygos is a dragon...with a beard, so I guess it works. :lol:

Sartharion is a very handsome dragon and I hope my baby turns out that handsome (and chubby!)

Aaah yes, always gotta be picky with the WoW dragons though, some of them are long and hard to pronounce lol Malygos is good though, nice and short! I think if I get another one and it happens to be female I'll go with Sinestra Your little guy is very cute too!

More good news, Sartharion seems to be accepting of repti-worms again! I ordered 100 cup of mediums that got here today and I'd say he ate about 15-25. Not quite the same gusto for his roaches but that's ok. The worms are easier traveling food and we do a good bit of it in the summer.

More pics! I know I have been pic happy recently, lol. These are all from yesterday.

Nomming his salad (look at that belly :roll: )

I'm TRYING to sleep here!

Figuring out he can't fit under the door

Exploring time!

Annnd straight under the couch. That's what I get letting him wander with no leash I guess

Teaching our dog the dragon isn't a toy. He's doing pretty well. Right before I snapped this one Sarth gave him a little lick on the nose, sad I missed it!

This is from today actually. He was slithering around the back of his viv like a snake, lol! He's got some weird shed going on his head and part of his beard so it must be itching him

Will get some good pics this weekend hopefully, going to the hubby's grandparent's cabin, always an adventure up there!

Sarth is too cute! I looked at his pics and wow hes grown into quite a handsome thing :wink:

 

[Jess]

Cute! I love the picture of him with your doggie.

Thank you! Hopefully he keeps growing, lol! I weighed him today and he is 321g, so another 10 grams in 2 days! I can't believe there are some dragons over 700g, but those are probably longer than 17 inches so have a bit more to fill out.

Cute! I love the picture of him with your doggie.

The dog (Guinness) is still kind of confused about the lizard, but he does well enough. Sometimes he whines because I think he doesn't know what to do. He's tried to test-play with his paws a couple times which got him a "No!", so he knows Sarth isn't a toy, knows he can't eat or chase him, so he's not sure what else there is to do :roll: . Gets pets and praise when he sniffs Sarth and leaves it at that.

Well the good news keeps on comin, he vacuumed up the repti-worms I gave him today and would've eaten more but I want to save the rest for tomorrow when we go up to the cabin. Should have bought more than 100 >.<. And he seems to be back to being manic about the dubia (he picks out the one he's going to eat next before he finishes chewing on his first one lol)

"If it's not food and it's not a squeak-toy, why in the world do we have it?!" :lol:

Love the trying to get under the door picture. Spatial dimensions really escape beardie brains, don't they?

Cute!

Yea, our friends have a little dog who stands and stares at me when I have Sarth and then starts growling and backing away. Definitely no floor time with that one, lol.

Well Sarth was pretty frumpy the entire trip, not really surprising considering the weather - warm, overcast, raining :evil: So I didn't get many good pics. Not to mention the mosquitoes were so bad I couldn't go outside without being covered in 98% deet spray, which STILL didn't keep them off me. My blood is too sweet I guess And every bite inflates like a balloon and itches to no end. Clearly this isn't the state I should be living in :roll:

Anyway, we stopped at the brewpub on our way up for hubby's birthday and sat outside. It was mid 70's and cloudy so as you can imagine the lizard was not pleased.

On the way home (coincidentally the one time it started getting sunny) he plopped himself on my hand to catch some sun.

Let's just say he was happy to be home. He only has a 10 gal up at the cabin which I'm sure he hates, but he gets to be out most of the time. He completely shunned all greens I offered however and destroyed the meager offering of reptiworms I brought with me
I love this pic, he just looks so inquisitive! About the corner of his viv...
Hmm what's over here?

Oooh of course! The perfect place to snuggle up and sleep! /facepalm

(He slid down after a few minutes when he realized laying horizontally was more comfortable)

Thanks for looking

is that a beardie tote you have!? I should get one of those! I remember seeing them for sale!

Yes it is! I got her last one though as she was getting rid of all her beardie stuff I love it, came with a little blankie thing that holds heat packs and fits in the bottom in case it gets chilly. I use it for everything now though, it's draped over his basking spot at home and when we venture to other people's homes it's what I have him sit on (you'll notice it in a lot of pics lol)
