Tyrus' Crazy Tactics- new pics pg5

Hey guys, it't been a while since I posted any pics of Tyrus (formerly Deanie) As some of you know we had a quick bout with MBD, I corrected all husbandry errors and hes been growing like a weed since.

Here is the before (June 05/2011)
5 inches long and 3.3g

And here he is today (Dec 26/2011) Weighing in at 299g at this point and approx 15inches long

I cant believe how fast they grow!

Here are some pics I liked from today and last week.

His tail was a new form of stylish hat.

Puffing up to grab that morning UVB lol

His tank: (which he is quicky outgrowing! must build a custom enclosure

Such a Purdy Face:

No shortage on spikes:

Crazy glass dancing that occurs for about 2 hours every morning

Thanks for looking!! Feel free to comment lol

WOW Tyrus is HUGE. Too funny about puberty. Chief does show is butt a little bit, too. Not too badly because Otto will scold him and Chief actually does listen to his Daddy.

I'm bummed for you about the AV test for Tyrus. We have 6 dragons, so who knows we may very well have a positive, too. I am glad you are not letting it get under your skin and you are not devastated. There is no reason to expect him to ever have any symptoms or ever get sick. I have a question and a thought about this - have you thought about giving him things that would boost or support his immune system? I was thinking about you last night. We give Papa Smurf liquid B vitamins to support his immune system and his nervous system. Would this be a good life-long supplement for an infected beardie? Or is there a risk of over-supplementation? I'm not trying to advise you in any way, you know I don't have experience with this at all. But if it could help in the long road in any way it is worth investigating.

I think it is funny how some dragons will blackbeard and some will just go grey to dark grey. Every single day Papa Smurf has a black beard at some point. It's so silly.

Hehe Tyrus looks so small to me lol, I will have to ask Tracie about immune support for Tyrus.

I am just Soo happy that I haven't crossed the virus to Hoodoo that's the last thing he needs at 11yrs old.
I was thinking about it and I used to have a red tail boa. I got Tyrus after she passed, I think she had adeno..I never even knew reptiles could get it at that time. Anyway long story short Tyrus may have contracted it from my snake tank or he came with it since he is a petsmart dragon I would believe that too.

Hoodoo's beard goes jet black when he's upset lol Tyrus is a grey to dark grey guy.. Up until a couple weeks ago I had never seen a dark beard on him not even slightly grey lol grumpy guts!

I'm happy Hoodoo doesn't have adeno, but I'm sad that Tyrus does But I'm happy that you're not getting all upset and distraught over it. There are many beardies who have adeno who live happy lives. I'm sure that with you as Tyrus' owner, he'll be the healthiest Beardie and live a very long time just like Hoodoo. 11 years old? Wow, that's awesome!

Tyrus, stop being a grumpy dude and lighten up. Listen to Kalyn & eat.

That's interesting that Hoodoo & Tyrus have different shades of their beard when they black beard. I've seen KD slightly black beard when I spooked him, but Fiz has never done it. I like to think of KD as the mean one, because he hurt Fiz & black beards all the time. I think of Fiz as the sweet, little one because he's never hurt anything but bugs in his entire life & has never black bearded. Although, he does show some hatred toward my dog... LOL

Tyrus ate 15 crix for breaky today yay! He is sticking his nose up to butterworms at the moment. He really wants the supers. Right now he's running around his room like a mad man until he finds a dark place then he tries to snuggle in and sleep. He's getting orange in his beard! Cannot wait to see what the next shed brings

 

[ShannyBeard]

Orange in his beard is going to look so nice. Beauty has kind of a dull body but a bright orange beard and it really stands out. It's my favorite part of her! I've never fed my dragons butterworms, but we just ordered some from Mulberry Farms, so they will be here on Tuesday. I hope they like them because they were kinda expensive. :shock: All my dragons found their dark corners and are sleeping right now, too. Awww.

 

[PumpkinJelly]

I'm always excited for sheds! Fiz and KD get more and more color everyday! So I can see why you're excited.

 

[Kalyn876]

A few pics of Tyrus from recently.

"Check out ma muscles!"

"I miss my old tank"

"I told you I want the supers! Not these disgusting things!"

This pic shows Tyrus' true nature, very calm and happy

This kind of shows the orange on his beard, it's taken with my phone so not great..

And Hoodoo being grumpy in the bath the other day.

"I told you I don't want a bath!!"

I hope you enjoyed!

Wow Tyrus looks big and manly! :mrgreen:

[Kalyn876]

Thanks Brandon! He's still just a big sensitive baby, gets all grey beard when he doesn't get things his way exactly and sulks under his hammock.

He's a great addition to my crazy house lol

 

[ShannyBeard]

Tyrus looked very Chief-like! That's what we call that muscular stance. LOL. I can't get enough of Hoodoo. That grumpy picture is priceless.

 

[DragonRudy]

He is such a cool-looking guy! Actually, they both are...the old man too! I just had to laugh at the pic of Tyrus glass dancing at the back of his tank. Rudy does that all the time, too. So funny!
He was so tiny when you got him. Both my babies are Petsmart babies, too. My little one I just got on Monday is 5" and 6 g. Can't believe anything could be lighter than LuLu, but Tyrus had her beat at 3.3g! Amazing comeback! Congrats!

 

[Kalyn876]

Thank you guys for the kind words, Tyrus still spends at least an hour a day voraciously glass dancing even though I let him out to run around once a day.. Im lucky its during the day. When Hoodoo was 2 years old he strted glass dancing at 2am without fail every day..luckily he now sleeps his nights away.Even though I let him out to run around once a day. Yesterday he ran through his poop Ick, Tyrus and Hoodoo give me three mins to clean it up or they wear it

I had an old friend over last night and ever since day one Hoodoo really dislikes her. Hes all hissing and blackbearding... I tried to get her to hold him but he would look right at her face hiss and make a running jump to the floor lol (and he fights me on the serrapeptase :roll: )

I tried to get pics but due to low light conditions they didn't turn out..

 

[Kalyn876]

Hey all!

Some pics for your viewing pleasure

Tyrus as a baby, stumbled on this pic..couldn't resist!

The hide I'm taking my sweet time with

Bath time!

Hiding out Hoodoo

Hoodoos tank for seniors

Yay!!

 

[dangit12]

he is perrty!

 

[ShannyBeard]

Hoodoo's tank for seniors! Awwww that is so sweet. Reminds me of Papa Smurf's tank, in a way. I really like the hide you have started. I'm impressed with how professional it looks. Those staggered rock sides are so natural looking. Very cool. And the itty bitty baby picture! So teeny...!
