Studly Dudley! ♥ *Massive Picture Overload 7/30*

My dad just randomly came home with him! He is cutest thing ever, and has tons of chub! He just dived into his salad!
Hes 2 years old, 15-17 in. long (has pretty good sized nip) and 442 grams... Dyed from red sand, so I cant see his colors.


Will post more details/pics later... I have to babysit!


OMG IM SOOOOOO EXCITEDDDDD!!!

I like Tequila. Just sayin. LOL

Showed my roommate the picture of Dud and she thought it was adorable. That's coming from someone that thinks my lizard obsession is ridiculous. She doesn't even like Yoshi.

I don't know how I missed that pic, but I looove it! :love5:

 

[Prouddragonmama]

Omg adorable!! :mrgreen:

 

[Jess]

Thanks!! :mrgreen:

Well, I'll have to ask my mom to buy some Sombrero tequila then LOL! :roll: Dud can have a little Mexican superworm fiesta!

@Ashley: LOL, almost everyone loves Dudley. There are some non-lizard lovers who think he is the ugliest thing on earth though. Which I totally don't understand... How can a creature so pudgy not be adorable??

I have a few more pictures to upload soon. I gave Dudley a little pan of alfalfa pellets to see if he wanted to dig in them, and he fell asleep in it last night. It was pretty cute! He's just chillin' on his log right now.

Well, my roommate has been my best friend since we were 9, but she still doesn't understand my attachment to animals and why I'm willing to shell out money when they are ill, etc.

She's a snob. LOL

 

[Jess]

I know a LOT of people like that. :roll: Which is why I never tell anyone how much I actually spend on my babies! People think I'm nuts LOL.
I love how it's "weird" to spend $100 on a lizard, but shelling out even more than that for a pair of jeans is considered "normal". *sigh* Oh well.

I know, right?!?!?!?

Craziness.

Ok, I THINK I gathered all the pieces of my head from that cute explosion. That is just fantastic. I can see a few modifications turning that into an amazing pilgrim thanksgiving photo.

 

[Jess]

Yay! Maybe you should wrap your head in bandages before checking this thread, to prevent further injuries?? LOL :lol: (BTW, now that I have a disclaimer, no one can sue me for cuteness explosions! Just sayin'.)

Ha, he could be a little pilgrim! I can see it now: Dudley is the pilgrim, Smudge can be the Indian, and they can have a feast of roasted squash, stuffed crickets, and super worm pudding. Yummmm.

Do it! That's will be awesome!

My cousin is getting married Saturday. I get Chyna Friday. I wish I had time to put a little veil on her and a top hat on Yoshi for a picture. LOL

 

[Jess]

Ok, but there is no way I'm making stuffed crickets or super worm pudding!

LOL, Photoshop it!!

 

[CherryKissies]

What a great looking guy..I personally like Jasper...We hold ours everyday and bath them every other day..They love it....Keep us updated..

 

[Jess]

Thanks! He has been named Dudley for some time though, LOL.

Picture time!!

LOL, as I discovered yesterday, bearded dragons do indeed have a wonderful little imagination. I took Dud out and removed all his things to clean his viv, and I set his basking platform on the ground. As soon as he saw it, he ran over, climbed to the top... and started gaping! :lol: He just glared at me like "WHERE DID WARMNESS GO?! It was JUST here a second ago, I swear..."
Isn't that funny that he remembers which decoration he uses for basking, and that he expects it to still be warm?!

Smudge wants to be a basking beardie too:

Cuteness! Smudge was very carefully examining Dudley, but Dud was annoyed and hissed at him LOL. He hates being touched excessively.

Dudley also got a new "toy"... I digging box! I wanted to give him something safe to dig in, so I decided to try alfalfa pellets. He loves it! And be the looks of it, I won't have to worry about impaction: He ate one that rolled across the floor of his viv, and promptly (dramatically) spat in out and stared at it in disgust for a few seconds before walking away. LOL. I got him a new pan instead of the glass one, but I forgot to take a pic of it.

Other random pics...

This is morning Dudley.

Face shed Dudley.

Happy I-just-completed-a-cricket-massacre Dudley.

And Dudley's beautiful salad! A few weeks ago I planted endives and collard, mustard, and turnip greens. I have millions of teeny tiny midget sprouts, and Dud absolutely LOVES them! Like, I usually shop up squash and stuff too for his salad, but he picks around it and ONLY eats the greens! :shock: I never thought I would see this day.

 

[TASTIGER]

he is just to cute! i love his basking platform eventually i will build one

 

[Jess]

Hehe, thanks! :mrgreen:

Oopsies, I forgot about these two pics:

I'm going to Twin Cities Reptiles and Exotics & Aquatics tomorrow, so Dudley will be getting some presents! TCR sells dubia, horn worms, and Phoenix worms.
