Before beardies I would never have heard about the "happy poopy dance", which I now do often, having 5 beardies! Before beardies I would never have said to my husband, "so who's going to nap on our bed", "Whose turn is it for
bath time?", "How does Issy's poop smell now (was on Panacur treatment for parasites)". "Catch the cricket, bugger's getting away". Or explained to my neighbour that the bugs in her apartment are just escaped crickets (little bums were escaping the cricket bin, getting into the closet where the hot water tank is & escaping down the drain into the neighbours home). Luckily she was moving out and the new tenants had 2 beardies, so had no issues with escaped crickets (we also blocked the hole). We now feed our beardies superworms, so no more escaping crickets.
I never thought I'd watch TV with a beardie, have long conversations with them, bundle them up in their blankies and rock them to sleep for beddie bye. In our house everything has dragons in the sentence!
WE LOVE OUR BEARDIES...and my folks even came to visit, my mom especially is not fond of reptiles, but she was very brave and sat in our living room, with 4 tanks surrounding her. She was find as long as our beardies were in their tanks.
Who would have though us cat people, who decided not to get any more cats after our Squeakers died, that within 2 years we'd have 5 beardies. Talk about pet overload! And juggling for baths & outside in the sun time...beardies change your life with LOVE
