We have come a long way since bringing Yoshi home in August. He now eats his veggies like a champ, loves all live feeders, and has become the best snuggler ever!! My mother in law caught him in this pic and I just had to share, since I know you all love beardie pics so much! You can tell by his color that he is happy and healthy, no stress marks(took months to go away) and he will explore now without black bearding me. It has been awhile since he's black bearded at all, so relieved!
For those that don't know about my lil guy, he was malnourished and kept in a 20 gallon tank until we brought him home, lived an entire year without any veggies or live feeders. I still want to find the woman that had him and lock her in a closet and feed her pellets!!!
My husband built him a 4 foot viv that he has been in for about a month now, he is one spoiled beardie! He has shed twice which makes me happy because it lets me know he is putting on weight, I have tried to weigh him on digital scales but keeping him still to get an accurate reading is nearly impossible he's somewhere between 50-60 grams. All I know about his age is that he turned 1 in the spring. I have been fortunate to find a small locally owned pet store right down the road and the owner has been very helpful during this whole process and when Yoshi turns two I plan to get another beardie from her, all her beardies are so happy and healthy (I play with the babies every time I go purchase crickets) thanks to her and this site, I have been able to take a mistreated, angry, stressed out dragon and turn him into a loving, brightly colored, HEALTHY, happy pet!!!
This would have never happened a month ago!!
