Hi everyone! I just wanted to make a 'blog' about my bearded dragon Fred.

He came to us on January 16th 2013, around 2PM. When I saw him, even though there were other babies in his tank, :love10: I knew he was the one I was going to take home that day... Of course the pet store guys gave us bad advice, so I'm so glad to have found this place, or else I would of gone on, still doing things wrong. (Thank you to those that helped me!) On the drive home, I was so nervous his little tiny container would slip from my hands and down to the ground, I also thought his container was a bit too small, (his tail was curled a lot) but, after a safe ride home, I held him until his tank was set up, then finally I put him in there, we put crickets in, but he just stared at us, after a little while he ate some. (Again, I was worried.)

Anyway, time for some pictures!

This is Fred on his first day home- So tiny!:

I was very nervous and thought he stopped breathing when he was in this postion :shock: :

Fred, on his favorite basking spot, his cactus!(I'm actually wondering what I'm going to do once he outgrows it, he's on there like 24/7!):

Oh and his tank has changed since these pictures were taken! :wink: Oh and the pictures are small because they were taken with a iPad.

I love my Fred so much! :love5:

Yay!

How are you?
I am good, had been snowed in, with ice on top, so I’m finally enjoying my 76 degree weather. :D
However, I can’t swim. :( well, I mean, I can swim great! It’s just... The water’s cold and we have an algae among us.

Fred is doing well, outgrown her cactus, so we’re on a new mission- FIND A NEW BASKiNG SPOT- not going well, though. And she needs a cage clean, I’ll clean the cage, and give her a bath, when I put her tile in.

Where are you that you have snow and 76* weather!? It's been snowing non-stop crazy over hear. I'm ready for spring.

Poor Fred, getting too big in your old age? How old is she now anyways?

You could try a hammock basking spot though the cloth ones are way better than the cheepy ones they sell in pet stores. If you're willing to spend the extra cash they're fantastic.

:D Yay! Finally, some petstore listens. I’m afraid to speak up, because I don’t want them to get mad at me...
People always get mad at me when I speak my mind. :|

anyway, I will try to get photos up as soon as I can. Life has been busy. Sorry.

I'm so proud of you for speaking up! It's uncomfortable sometimes to say something but just try to remember, these creatures can't speak for themselves. Maybe when you both get older you can get jobs at these stores and help them do things right. :D

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
