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!!!

Yay Dud!

So far he seems to be pretty alert! He was still awake today, so I gave him a bath. He drank a ton of water, and I could hear him gulp when he swallowed it LOL. But I think he drank too much, because he got a black beard and made some weird noises after that. He seemed OK after he swallowed it all, but I'm a little worried that he might have breathed some of it in. So I'm on URI watch now. *sigh*

He ran around a little after his bath, so it looks like he has some energy! I'll start offering him food in a couple days, when I know for sure that he's awake for good.

If he is, then I will need pictures! : )

 

[Jess]

Dudley decided to be a loser and brumate again. Gahhh! I thought it was the end!!!!

I did get some pictures though.

And guess what? I'll be adding a new scaley baby to my little family soon! :mrgreen: A leopard gecko!
I have to make some space for its tank though, and then go on a CL hunt for the perfect one. I can't decide if I want a girl or a boy!

 

[HaleyMaree]

Jeez duds, thanks for getting our hopes up.

Yay pictures and coolio a gecko. I will need a lot of pictures of that, so why r u adding a geckio instead of some other reptile....like a non brumating beardie?? : )

 

[Jess]

Because I don't have more room for another 4x2x2 cage! A 20 gal is much more managable LOL.

 

[HaleyMaree]

Okay fine! lol

Hi Jess! :wave:

Sorry to hear that Dudley is being a dud and went back to sleep on you. Don't you just hate brumation?

Congratulations on getting the new family member!
So when do you get this little gecko?

 

[Jess]

LOL, Dudley the dud. It's perfect. He's waking up more often though, so it's a promising sign!

Thanks! Hopefully within the next few weeks. I need to buy my new cage (This thing: Click to see epic tank! Sliding doors and everything! Mwahaha. ) and get it set up first. I'm currently in the process of moving my tanks around so I can fit another animal in my room LOL. I'll post pictures when I'm done with my hermit crab and aquarium upgrades!

 

[ColoradoRiverRafter]

Can't wait to see pics on your gecko when you get it. Sucks Dudley is brumatating AGAIN. :|

 

[TheAnthropologist]

awww, brumation can suck sometimes. Hope he wakes up soon! He is a cutie!

 

[LennyTheLizardKing]

Dudley The Dud lol

 

[JenFid]

Awwe poor Jess! Dud's teasing you .

 

[Jess]

Awwe poor Jess! Dud's teasing you .

He's playing mind games with me!! When I got home from school today, he was awake and patiently waiting on his basking rock for his lights to turn on. What a little bipolar freak. Can't he just make up his mind??

BTW, I found a baby dubia in a pile of clothes in my room yesterday. :shock: I had a huge "Oh ****!" moment, but it appears that the little dubia was a lone wolf. Hopefully none of his friends decide to join him in his adventures... :silent:

 

[HaleyMaree]

I couldnt survive that expierence, for some reason that keeps me from even debating getting some Dubia! My mom would never go for that either! : )
