The Chilean Taco

[ChileanTaco]

A big "Holá" from another continent

Since August I'm the proud human of my bearded dragon Taco.
We're here in Chile (I'm originally from Germany, lived in the US for some years).
Before getting Taco, I was reading a lot here and found it very helpful

Taco comes from a local breeder (I looked into adopting but there were no reptiles available). He lives in a 48" x 32" x 28" full glass enclosure which I had custom-made by a glass company and for which I made a screen-top lid; the enclosures recommended here in the forum are impossible to get in Chile.
Taco's weight is currently 350 g; for the length, I would have to check.

According to what I can say, Taco lives a great, healthy life, also thanks to what I've read online before getting him regarding light, food/feeders, calcium... and all the stuff without making any "buying mistakes" like a too small enclosure or coil lamps.
There are no problems, Taco is doing great. I just registered as I might be able to help out from time to time, e.g. with ideas about enclosures and the setup, and I just find this forum being a very helpful resource.

I will post photos later.

I need to learn german lmao

Oh, me too...
I really like the German language, I like the way it sounds, I like songs in German, but often I don’t understand what they are about

Danke für die nette Begrüßung
Thank you for the nice welcome


Thank you

No questions right now, everything is just perfectly fine plus I've read a lot.

Now I uploaded some photos.

Here is just a comparison on how he looked when I got him end of August last year vs. now. That's the same enclosure, same branch etc.!
I'm also by some extent surprised how well he's now matching the color and structure of the climbing background. I know that beardies can change their color, but I was extremely surprised how much he looks like the ochre and mauve of the background now. Really, if I take off my glasses, he would count as "invisible" to me sitting up there.

I now post a bit more on the setup under "Enclosures".
