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!!!

Ha ha ha to the basking without heat!! Dud u are way to cute for your own good! I wanna be like the old lady that pinches cheeks!!

 

[Sashee]

I think your Dudley stories are the funniest things ever. He's such a comedian!

 

[littlebirdy]

Jess, that is my favorite set of Dudley pictures ever. Hands down. He looks so confused and adorable when pseudo-basking! Just...gah, my brain is gone. I just woke up and the cute is overwhelming!

 

[evanescent]

i'm starting to think that this thread is the place everyone goes if they're feeling down and need a pick-me-up.

 

[Beezer25]

That is so cute lol!
I love that basking platform you made!
I just bought stuff to tile the bottom of Fred and Jackies viv (my beardies).
I might try to build a platform like that, but it won't turn out as good as yours!

 

[Jess]

Thanks everyone!! :mrgreen:

@Sashee: Haha, thanks! What can I say? My pets are weirdies, and they learn from the best LOL. :roll:

@heartbroken: Yay, it's a thread full of HAPPY! :lol: I'm sure Dud would be proud!

@Prounddragonmama & Bowsersmom: Aww, thanks! He had the best little expression on his face.

@Beezer: Awesome, I'm sure they'll love it! That platform is REALLY easy to make LOL, I'm sure it will turn out awesome! Post pics when you're done.

Hmmm, just wondering... A lot of people say they like my basking platform. Would anyone be interested in buy one if I made them??
I'm going to the reptile stores soon! I'm excited, LOL!

 

[evanescent]

i'd definitely buy one if the price wasn't horrible and we could choose the measurements c:
(like, so it could fit properly)

 

[Jess]

I'd probably price a medium-ish one at $20-$30? Probably a little more for non-BD.org-ers. So of course you would get to choose measurements and the design. But IDK what shipping would be. :|
I'll let you know though. The first couple I would make would probably be cheapies since they would be slightly experimental.

I just got back from TCR and E&A, and it was awsome! I got to HOLD a SILKBACK!! Basically the highlight of my life this week, LOL!
And I got Dudley 2 hornwormies!! They are slightly cute in an ugly alien-ish way, so I'm going to feel slightly bad sacrificing them! I'll take a video of Dud eating them though and post it here. I think I'll feed him the bigger one tonight. They were only $1 each, but you had to buy 15 of them to get food and stuff, and I didn't want that many. My mom said they look like tooth paste LOL.

 

[littlebirdy]

Do silk backs have prickles at all?
Clovis is trying to run up Tupperware walls. She probably realized that I was on Dudley's thread and wanted a look! :mrgreen:

 

[Prouddragonmama]

Yay for horn worms! Gee only 2? Hunter is additicited to to those! With butters a close second :mrgreen:

 

[Jess]

No, they just feel like tough human skin. It was so weird! The little guy was SUCH a spaz though. He tried to launch himself off of my shoulder immediately after I started holding him LOL.

I've never given Dud horns before, so I wanted to make sure he actually liked them before I bought a bunch!
I just fed him one wormie (and got a video of it!) and he inhaled it. It was, like, 3" long and he didn't even chew it. He swallowed it whole! :shock: So maybe I should have bought more LOL!

 

[TASTIGER]

i would deffinantly buy a platform!

 

[evanescent]

:love5: !!!

 

[littlebirdy]

Yay video! Post it, please, so those of us with reluctant eaters can show it as an example!

 

[Jess]

OK, I will! And I'll PM you guys about the rock thingies too.

I'm starting to feel guilty about being a caterpillar killer though. The remaining one fell asleep, and it looks so cute and innocent! It's little hands/suction cups are folded together, and it looks like it is meditating or something. IDK if I can buy hornwormies anymore, they are too adorable! Supers and crickets are evil and deserve death, but this little hornworm seriously looks like it is really depressed.
