THEN AND NOW: The Official Thread

I feel pretty ambitious making this, but I would love to see comparisons of dragons that were first bought and what they look like now. I think one of the magical things about Beardies is that they shed their colors to become more beautiful each time, something that is difficult to find possible!

My beardie is still a baby, and she's only had one proper shed, so I won't share quite yet; however, I am very curious to see your Beardies' progress!!!

Well Orion is a red, Yardley is a sunfire x , and Gem is the only "citrus".
Thanks, they are amazing... I just don't understand why it took me so Looooong to find dragons

Wow, Orion looks golden, though. They're all really just sdlhjdhk is there anything higher than 'beautiful'?
And same here. Now that I've got one I want two more but I will wait until I can support that many.

Well I had one dropped on me, Tanker, that was 8 years old. I knew absolutely nothing about these great animals. So I ended up here. We lost Tanker less than 4 months after getting him, too long under poor husbandry. We just enjoyed him so much while he was with us, I studied, and studied, and finally, when Citrusdragon had some babies hatch, I asked him really really nice if I could have a couple. Orion and Gem ! At the same time, Yardley was being offered up for adoption by the young lady who rescued and rehabbed him. So I went in one day from being dragonless, to having a wealth of 3!
Might think about one more, in a year or so. Want these 3 to grow up a bit before I try to tackle another one... Right now keeping them in roaches is a job !
Yardley is a year old, and the other two are right around (does some quick counting on fingers.....) almost 7 months. They were hatched the 25th and 26th of December.

This thread is great! It really shows just how much they change as juvies and adults from when they were babies.

All your dragons are absolutely stunning! I love how they all look cute and innocent when they're teeny-tiny and now they grew up to be these huge bug-loving monsters! :lol: They're really all so beautiful. There is something about Beardies that sets them apart from all other animals.

Also, THEY GROW SO FAST. Thank you for posting the dates, I didn't think of that but it really shows their insane progress...

Thank you all for sharing. Keep it coming!

[dianasaur]

WOW!!! :shock: I would never guess that a baby like that could become so bright and yellow! Geezeeee!
She is absolutely stunning. I can tell she doesn't really enjoy being outside, though... haha.

Thank you for sharing.
