The Rise Of RaJa....PIC HEAVY:)3/16/13 updated *

I Went to Petsmart on October 6th,My Daughter seen this little guy and wanted him, So we brought him home .He was so tiny that he was about the size of my thumb, he liked being held and always wanted to snuggle.His Favorite place was laying flat on my thumb with his nose in the crook between my thumb and finger where he would fall asleep. I had not ever had a bearded dragon before but had been on this site learning about them before going to look.I have to say I never expected to Fall so utterly and completely in love with the tiny little thing but day by day he (Who I at first called a she) stole my heart. I worried about everything because he was so small,underfed, wouldn't touch any veggies and only ate very few crickets. Woke up every morning for the first week almost running to his viv to make sure he was still alive. Which he of course was, Ended up finding out that he was in fact just a few weeks old and shouldn't have been sold at such a young age. We worked on eating crickets... he ate more and more each day, Turning into the great Cricket hunter,with an insatiable appitite, tasted pheonix worms for the first time and Absolutely LOVED them... I coated them in green bean baby food, which I then also coated his greens with after the first week... now he is eating his veggies and is a little over two and a half months old and growing visably by the day... Its amazing just how much I have come to love this little guy, he brings a smile to my face daily and is always willing to cuddle... and while I know I probably shouldn't allow it but he likes walking up my chest until I look down at him and he presses his little head or mouth against my lips... he loves kisses!

This is Raja the day I brought him home... so Tiny.. and as he grew.. and Today.. I look forward to every New day and every growth spurt he has He has already come So far!

Sweet Beardie Kisses <3

This One likes her naps, and sniffing at and licking the outside of my viv.. Strange huh?

And this one can be moody..

Definitely looking at it. c: RaJa is the cutest little baby, I love him! He looks perfectly healthy to me. I also adore those boat-captain pics, he's just such a handsome rogue. You can overfeed them, but it doesn't look like RaJa's overweight. They just tend to be tubby-looking and round, it's nothing to worry about, unless he starts to look disproportionate. If his legs start to look too teeny-tiny for his body, he may be overeating. You can always consult a vet to be sure. :3 Hope to keep seeing more pics of this little devil!

I cant believe how much he is growing! I swear he grows more and more (visably) everyday. Oh how much I Love my little guy!! more pics comming soon!
beardie kisses from RaJa

RaJa Decided to knock everything down in his viv today, I think he is mad at me,I have been sick with a bad cold so I haven't been holding him much the last couple days. He would come over and glass dance and listen to me talk to him,turning his head to listen being so beardie cute and then when I didnt pick him up he would give me the stink eye and run about trying to jump up on things creating havoc knocking things down and over.Such a naughty little boy he is but I love him emensley! Here he is after he finished his rearranging,wonder what he will think when I out everything back up :lol:

 

[mizzunderstood]

So I took the Boys (RaJa (My beardie) and Grimm the iguana to the Vet today for check ups and fecal's.Everything came back good! And he weighed in at a whopping 199 grams!!....I have posted pictures and asked around to see if anyone had any clue as to what Morph RaJa might be, the vet says his guess is Citrus Tiger... Do you guys agree Or think something else? I have a few pictures from our little outting today, he sure is growing.getting ready to start my dubia Colony here in the next few days, kind of excited and creeped out at the same time (lol). Hope You are all doing well,Beardie kisses from Raja sent your way!

I don't know what morph he might be but I just have to say I love his coloring.

 

[mizzunderstood]

RaJa has been doing great, has been wanting to run all over and create havoc.. if he is sitting on my leg and the dog walks by he has been known to jump on her back, thank goodness she's pretty good about it and either just stands there or lays down and then he flattens hisself out on her and gets good and snuggly here are some new pictures of of my mischevious little guy!

 

[bumblebee]

His colors are so pretty!

 

[FranktheTank]

Oh my goodness RaJa, you are one handsome dragon!! I love your pretty beard..have fun riding the dog!!

Dogs make very warm pillows. Our Chihuahua would freak out if ours did that but then they are almost as big as he is.
