Welp, here is the babe <3

My new beardie does not yet have a name. He/she is just about 2 months old. Born on August 8th, 2016. He/she is just about 7 inches old. As soon as I put him/her in his/her cage he/she zipped away and it seemed like he/she walked all over before finding a hiding spot behind the log. He/she stayed there until about 3 minute before his/er lights came off, then slowly moved towards the basking spot, but then the lights went off. He/she didn't want to eat, but I think the breeder fed him/her already today, so I will give it another go in the morning. As soon as I put a phoenix worm in front of his/her mouth, the eyeballs were glued to it, but he/she wouldn't go for it. I hope he/she is sleeping well. I hope he/she turns out better than Clementine.

Well, I have narrowed it down to two names: Taro(from a song i like) or Pollux(one of the twin stars from my favorite constellation, Gemini) . The breeder says that he is a probable male, but at this age its really hard to tell as you all know. Which do you think? I'm leaning towards Taro because it's a little more neutral. I think I will start using male pronouns because he just looks like a little guy haha.

Anyways, here he is:

More little updates: He still hasn't grown much, but its okay. He only eats phoenix worms now. Won't even look at crickets. Eats about 20-25 every feeding, which is twice a day. I cut open the screen where the T5 HO was so he would get more UVB. Still won't eat veggies, but i keep putting them in. Sometimes he'll be looking at the worms and he like gets up on his toes, or sometimes i'll catch him and he'll have his wrist bent, but I don't think it's MBD because he is constantly running around and that only really happens every few days, and if it is early MBD, i think it will easily be remedied with the T5 and the Phoenix Worms. Anyways, thats my spiel haha

sounds great.

I usually take my phoenix worms and put a few in a spare container with some salad. They last longer as I can get them to grow in size.

Here is a well-written guide to growing Phoenix Worms: viewtopic.php?f=76&t=191525

It will make them more nutritious for your dragon and will prevent them from pupating.

My little guy is at about 9.5" and about to be 4 months old he's shedding right now and i keep getting scared because he wont stop dragging his arms to get he skin off, so tonight im gonna give him a bath to help him shed. He hasn't been eating much but i think its because of the shed. He's so cute but still kind of a butt to me
