Introducing... SHELDON!
Hello! My name is Becky, first time poster, long time site stalker. I am fifteen (sixteen in November), and currently live in VERY sunny California.
So I have been wanting a Bearded Dragon for around six months now, although my parents only agreed to let me get one four months ago. I had snakes before, but no other reptile. I slowly researched, meticulously learning everything about them I could, while also saving my money. Piece by piece, I acquired everything that I needed. And now...today...I bought a bearded dragon!!!
Sheldon is a red x from LLLreptile, and he looks VERY healthy! lives in a 40 gallon breeder (until my father and I make him a 4x2x2 cage), complete with a reptisun 10.0 bulb and basking bulb. The hottest part of his basking branch is 110 right now, 95 - 100 on hot side, and cool side is 80. He has shelf liner/repti carpet, but when he gets a bit older he will be getting tile. He is running around licking EVERYTHING and waving at me! :lol:
I can already tell he is going to be super spunky, in the store he just sat on my hand and looked at me like "why, hello there!" All the other beardies ran away when the tank opened up, but Sheldon moved up higher on his branch!
And now, PICTURES!!!!
About 10 seconds after I put him in his cage
Oh, It's you!
After he flying ninja jumped onto his basking branch!
Got a picture of him waving at me!
Thermo regulating for the first time
MOM! NO MORE PICTURES!
AAAAAND his current tank Dont worry, I dont use the dial thermometer. I got the tank from a friend and it was already on the wall. If you guys have any advice for his tank, let me know!
