The Dragon They Call Jayne....

This is how he fell asleep on night one. Is that normal??

You will be amazed what beardies find comfy :lol: . Give her a little fleecey blanket(you can get pet sized binkies at dollar stores), for sleepy time, she might like it ^_^.

Super cute. Did you just get her? Do you have her on calci sand, or was she on it wherever she came from? I see her toesies are all stained up. My Lagu was on the same coloured sand for a while and he was orange for freaking ever(he's on shelf liner now, it's a god send).

very very cute! She's pretty skinny though...

I know. I just got him yesterday afternoon. I will fatten him up! Thinking of getting some wax worms and / or hornworms very soon.

There is a little blanket in there. We tried moving him onto it and he went right back to being upright. lol

Yup, see above. He was on sand but I don't remember what color it was. Could've been orange. We're using shelf liner as a substrate so maybe it will clear up. Here I was thinking it was just part of his coloring. :|

My 3 week old baby beardie happens to be sleeping the exact same way right now, and he has an actual bed with a mattress and everything xD. I'll get a pic for you!

Looking closer at him today, I noticed the scale on the end of his mouth is in the exact shape of a heart. Is that an every Beardie trait? Forgive me if that's a silly question. I'll try and get a picture of it at some point.

Looking thin but looks like a fun lil guy. Glad to hear you are going to get some good groceries. The pictures of him and the little one are too cute!

 

[apaprikao]

Thanks! He's not eating as much as I'd like but we're working on it. He likes carrots. I got him to eat a few bites of them this morning. I also put some squash baby food in his tank, hasn't touched it yet though. Thinking of offering him some collard greens non-chopped to see if he prefers it that way. He ate a total of 4 crickets yesterday. Can't wait to get him some wax worms, super worms and horn worms to try and fatten him up a bit.

He needs a hat, obviously. XD
Looks like he's into exploring and sleeping in weird positions! So like a beardie. Sounds like you are doing a great job finding yummies to get some pudge on that tum.

Haha! A little hat would be *amazing*! He's slowly warming up to us. He ate some small pieces of carrot today and 15 dusted crickets. He really enjoyed his bath and drank a lot. We're leaving him in his tank for the next few days though so hopefully he'll be ready to come out and play next week.

Jayne's tank is finally in it's final resting spot in our house. We had to wait for the tv mount to come in before we could put his tank under the tv. I think it looks really good there! What do you all think?

He's being a big old sleepy head today and staying in bed.

His new trick: balancing! :lol:

He got a special treat in his veggies this morning. 2 waxworms and 2 medium superworms. He's still standing in front of his bowl waiting for more buggies to appear.

Woot!! Looking great! Can't wait to see pics once he's shed off that mean old orange sand dye! Great job

Yeah, I have no idea when to expect a shed. But I can't wait to see him without orange feet.

Also, does anyone happen to know what his coloring/morph is called??? Thanks!

 

[mrstuart75]

love the pics!!! quite the set up!!!

we have ours do balancing acts too, it makes me laugh!

i love the feet of your dragon!

That one of you asking 'if that's normal' for him falling asleep like that - reminds me of Gandalf and his obsession with looking at himself in nearly that exact same position!
