[beardie parents]

Barbara, Last night when we were looking at your first baby pics I told Bill that I wanted one of your baby dragons. There is a breeder locally, called Atomic lizard ranch. It's located in Bisbee AZ which is about a 30 minute, or so, drive from us and they have the cutest baby dragons. He said "I thought you wanted one of their babies" I said "yes, but I want one of Barbara's also". He didn't say anything. Unfortunately he's the one that will be stuck with most of the beardie chores daily because I work 30 hours every week. I do have the weekends off due to the fact that our store is closed on the weekends. So I could help with beardie chores on Saturday and Sunday's. Well, I'm not sure we'd have the time or energy for a second dragon but I sure would like one of your's as I'm sure they will grow longer than any beardie we've ever had.

Gina if you notice there are 2 different colors of babies the ones that are almost apparently sure to be yellow or close to and the color of that baby in the 3rd pic. I'm so looking forward to see what these darker looking ones are going to look like. I can't really seem to catch the color in the pic's I'll try again tomorrow. But it's almost a copper~olive color...I gotta wonder if that means more of an orange later like the green usually means yellow later. :?: I've never seen this color in my house so it's exciting to watch them and wonder just what they will look like later...being this was Ms. Tiggs and Blaze's first clutch it's a mystery to me. But anyhow that is a really sweet baby but he like the rock the most out of all of them he/she was the first to drink from the water dish today all on it's own without my encouraging. An is also one of those really squiggley tad pole babies in the bath...I love watching them squiggle. Okay that's a squirm and a wiggle in one in case anyone was wondering. :lol:

Lori just for the record Ms. Tiggs is 20.5 inches long at 3 years and PVT Blaze is just under 22 inches at 1 year. So I think it's safe to say there's a good chance the babies will be of good size. Ms. Tiggs with the exception of Bender...has always had nice sized yellow babies. Plus I've never had babies over 4 inches at hatching...or hatchling that ate as soon an as much as these little boogers. Don't let me be a beardie pusher and try and convince you to, but just so you know you have plenty of time to decide if you'd really want or could manage one more beardie. :wink: Darn little boogers gotta be so irresistible. :lol:

Yesterday it was 112* in the shade. YUK! Just a tad bit warmer than I'd like.

Ew. I hate heat.
We in PA like our constant overcast/rainy days.
It keeps the weather in the 80s.
Which is why I can't wait to get home. Austin is too hot, and the mosquitoes just looooove northern food....

About the houseful of beardies.... I wouldn't mind.... they'd be better company than two of my half-sisters! :roll: You can pick the 9 yr old in PA or the 6 yr old in TX, I'd choose a houseful of beardies over their whining anyday! :laughing6:

At least Gabrielle (4) is sweet and follows me without a second thought. I was beginning to think I'd been cheated on the whole sisterly-love thing. :roll:

Oh Jacqui I'm jealous I'd do anything to live somewhere with that type of temps. I'm so ready to leave this hot and miserable Valley but for the hubby the work is great. (Heating and Airconditioning.)
I bet you are so ready to go home to the cooler weather...you could swing by here and pick me up I wouldn't mind. An I agree with you the more the merrier and yes they are less of an annoyance than little sister could be. :wink:

Okay, but Z&W have to come with you. :laughing6:
Oh, yes, and that tub of little ones, too....

 

[sweetiepie9]

Hi Barbara, I didn't realize you were feeding them some baby food, too, which is a great idea re: tail and arm/leg nips. I just have to look at Issy and Rubio to know how hungry babies can be; they were unlucky enough to have a biter baby in with them. But they're big and healthy now, especially Rubio, I can't get over it, he's now 670 grams and just over 20" long and a bright golden citrus to boot. His back stripe is mid olive and he has blue side bars. Issy is the colour of the baby you were talking about, she was darker as a baby, but she's turning light brown/olive body with pale olive back stripe and copper ovals and side bars, beside dark olive side bars. So you just never know, looks like there are going to bright dragons like Private Blaze and combinations of citrus/orange. He's so bright coloured. Ms Tiggs is darker, but gets golden like Sweetie, right?

The babies continue to amaze me, so I'm glad you're amazed, too. But 27 more in a week :shock: where will you put them all while they're growing. It must be awful dealing with the heat you have, thank god Frank is an air-conditioning expert, he must make sure your home is as cool as it can be, plus it makes a good living for you all. I'm hoping the heat wave will break up some soon where you are and here, too, it's up over 90F now during the day, I know that sounds much cooler to you, but when you're used to at the max 80F, 90F is very hot indeed.I was hoping the heat waves we've been having would head east around NY and Quebec where they need the sun. My aunt in Quebec hasn't been able to put her garden in hardly because of rain. I've already asked her to send some this way, too. We all need a cool down, right?

But back to the babies, I keep looking at that video to watch how they all move and I see different things each time; it's hard to keep your eyes on all that movement! So when things get less frantic (in a month or so :roll: ) you can make another video of the youngsters! How are the parents doing? Isn't it amazing that they, as dragons, have no interest in their young? I know they're reptiles, but they seem so different to other reptiles. Don't mind me, time for bed!!!

So take care, try not to get too frazzled :mrgreen:
Hugs to all; and bugs and snuggles to al your dragons;
Deborah and our zoo

and, of course, as many pics as you can manage between dragons, babies, eggs, grandkids, your son and your hubby...Hi Frank!!!

Hey! Wait just a minute you two! One of those babies is Mine! :shock:



Ya know Barb...I am so glad I decided to let you pick my baby. There is absolutely no way I could choose...they're all too darn cute!

I was so scared that hubby was going to change his mind yesterday after I mentioned the $800 vet bill for Malibu(not to mention the $250 from 2 wks ago). He said "Pets are too expensive!". I did one of these and said "Uh-uh...not wittle tiny baby beardies!" :roll:

Doesn't he know that men DO NOT have the perogative to change their minds???

When they can start stopping to ask for directions, then maybe we will let them have more leeway :shock:

 

[fresnowitte]

Hey! Wait just a minute you two! One of those babies is Mine! :shock:

Your so funny! :lol: But it would be a less of a distance to ship the little guy/gal. :idea:

Your pretty funny yourself Robin!

But what man asks for directions? :roll:

Deborah this is going to definitely be a challenge so many in such a short time. An yes housing is the hardest part....but somehow I will manage. I don't like putting my babies into tubs/bins I don't feel they get enough attention that way(out of sight out of mind) and besides that, I like to watch the little boogers and talk to and handle them. It would take less room to set them up in tubs/bins but I'm not okay with that just doesn't work for me.

Yes I've read so many threads and have so many friends like you that have beardies who are missing parts due to feeding frenzies and such that I think that the baby food feeding just make me feel much more comfortable.
It's not that they need it it's just makes me feel better. Heck they eat everything I offer already. :lol:

Of course PVT Blaze is fine :roll: And Ms. Tiggs is doing really well this year. She is almost back to normal she isn't worrying me like she did last year.

If your normally in the 80's and have been in the 90's then you are just as miserable as I am I'm sure. Ten degrees makes a big difference if your not use to it. I can handle when it's just over 100* but when it hits 10* over I begin to melt and turn into this agitated monster on menopause. :lol:

 

[sweetiepie9]

Yes, Barbara, I know what you mean about turning into the menopausal monster. I'm glad I have these lovely little pills I take every am, without them, I totally melt down, which wouldn't work well at work!

I know you'll find a way to take care of all your little babies, you have the biggest heart of anyone I know and I still wish I lived closer, I'd at least be able to help on weekends. I see what you mean about putting babies in bins. Do you have an extra tank to put them in, so you can keep a better eye on them? Keep us all posted.

I can only imagine what your days are like right now. Do the bigger beardies still demand your attention, or are they ok looking out windows and wandering around like they do. I hope so.

I sure was glad to see that baby eating those veggies, he sure looked happy on top of the food. I bet they're growing too fast to keep up!

Take care,
Deborah

Don't worry, we'll drop one off. :lol:

 

[gulfbrzdawn]

Don't worry, we'll drop one off. :lol:

FINE! But it better be the right one! Don't be trying to fool me with some imposter! :lol:

 

[fresnowitte]

Deborah part of what makes having babies such a busy time for me is....I won't allow for my other precious babies to be shorted their alloted attention time....I would hate myself if they felt left out. So you can imagine that the humans get alot of quick meals and sandwiches with so much going on in my house. In this case the humans are the ones that have to suffer. Well the big ones Aiden and Fred of course do not fall into that catergory. An of course me and my time I get to be here is shortened.

Tanks are not a problem...MVB's and room is another thing. I have extra tanks everywhere you look...about 17...I think at last count???

Their bellies are definitely growing! :lol: These little boogers are chow hounds.

 

[dragonphoenix36]

Awww..the babies are so cute. I wish I was ready for a beardie..I'm not there quite yet, but when I am..I know who to go to.
