Spike and Ruby's kingdom

Hello,

I've had Spike and Ruby for quite a while, but this is my first time posting pics online. Let me introduce my beardies to you: Spike is the generally darker male (not always), but he is also top beardie. Spike can cling on to my shoulder, and sit still for hours at a time. He's a laid back, calm little fellow who tolerates handling for long periods of time (I can play violin for 60-90 minutes and he will listen). He absolutely loves veggies and greens of all kinds! Ruby, on the other hand, has a totally different personality. Being the 'prettier' of the two, he's still fun but doesn't like to be handled as much. He hates bath time. Ruby, has a preference for dandelions to other greens, he just can't get enough of 'em. They are both 20" long, but on the skinny side (350 grams).

Bath time, here's Ruby. I purchased them from a backyard breeder knowing little or nothing about the different morphs, but I think I'm pretty lucky with this guy. He resembles a sunfire, or a citrus.

"Hiiiii thereeee..." Note Spike in the background.

Here's Spike soakin' up some rays on a pillow outside.

Spike roaming the outdoors with a black beard- something his brother never does (unless I annoy him). There's a little bit of old skin on his snout.

I luv my beardies. Will post more pics later.

Sometimes I really wish I had a male beardie! They get soooo big! Your boys are very handsome!

Today, I took Spike down to the computer office to chill on my shoulder. Turns out he really likes plopping down right smack in the center of the keyboard! Checking out BD.org...

Snuggling down for a small nap. I had to move him to make this post though.

Spike and Ruby have approved this message.

Spike and Ruby are such handsome beardie boys. That is really neat that S;ike likes to listen to you play violin. I really like the pics of him with the black beard outside and on the keyboard. I love Ruby's coloring. The pic with him looking straight ahead is so adorable. There is something about those beardie faces.

Thanks for the kind comments!

Anywho today I was hand feeding them some diced organic mango and grapes, when, for no good reason both of them kept mistaking my fingers for food!!! :? Firstly, Ruby didn't notice that my fingers were not connected to the grapes, but then Spike full on bit my ring finger. Not only that, but he held on for like 15 seconds! He came pretty closer to drawing blood and now I can testify to how painful it is, so many little razor sharp teeth. I guess he may have been a little hyped (black beard prior to feeding). The sensation was comparable to that time I cut myself with a whittling knife. OMG beardies... at least they enjoyed the fruit and roaches. This also is not the first time I've been bitten by my herps. Will post moar pics tomorrow, time for bed. :lol:
