Yoshi's Thread... RIP My Sweet Baby Boy *Necropsy Results*

Ok, so here's the adoption story. I've wanted a lizard of some sort for YEARS. But my mom said no more pets, even though lizards are my favorite animal. So in 2010, as it was approaching my birthday, my good friend Mario (he's my old boss and one of my best friends) asked what I wanted. Originally I said a tattoo. :lol: But the more I thought about it, wanted a way to get a lizard. So I did some asking around and finally my best friend Anna and her husband Zach said I could keep one at their house, which was perfect as they lived three blocks from me and I don't drive. I told Mario I wanted a lizard instead and he agreed that would be his birthday present to me. So I decided on a beardie and started looking around for one. I decided I wanted one with a reddish tinge and my good friend Katie said her professor breeded beardies. She in turn asked about pricing and what I wanted to spend and talked to her prof. So he agreed and sent me some pictures of juvies in my price range. I saw this one reddish one and the rest, as they say, is history. That was in November of 2010.

Now here it is March. Anna and Zach got a house and I moved in with them to watch their kids while they work. So now I actually see Yoshi everyday and he is getting more used to me, although he still gets frightened if I startle him. :roll:

He has been eating around 15 small crix a day but after reading the boards here, I put him in a feeder box today and let him go to town with the crix and he ate about 30 before he lost interest.

I'd love to meet some new beardie lovers as Yoshi and I are new to the site.

It depends on his mood, but this is usually as bright colored as he gets. Normally he's kindof a dull reddish grey. LOL

@ProudDragonMama I actually got him from a friend's college professor that breeds them (Yoshi wasn't one he bred, though) and I only had to pay $50 for him (Well, I didn't pay, my friend Mario bought him for me. But still. LOL) And he had some others that were more citrus colored and they were $50-75. I think it just depends on the breeder and the characteristics. He had a really cool one (his personal favorite) that was $350. :shock: So it just depends.

@Birdoc Yes! He's finally getting to be more comfortable with me and i love how good he is for me now! :love5:

Ah, you got one, too! Aren't they amazing? Yoshi looks like he's taken to it very well! I love the pillow!

 

[Sashee]

Yes! H would not get his butt up this morning. LOL Does Wave have one?

 

[Beezer25]

Wow Yoshi is so cute in his little bed! I want one now lol, i have them sleeping in a shirt of mine

 

[Jamiedog]

Yes! H would not get his butt up this morning. LOL Does Wave have one?

Lazy dragon! :lol:

She does, but it's too big for her current viv, so she's having to hold off on the whole thing until she moves. Here's a pic from the night she got it, when I let her give it a try:

But she doesn't have a fancy pillow, too! That's so cool.

 

[Sashee]

HAHA! I had Yoshi sleeping in an old folded up pillowcase. LOL

And Yoshi has a blanket with that same fabric!

 

[Slave2Scarlett]

That is toooo cute!

 

[SunnyDragon7]

aww! I love the bed~so cute I have an idea to make a sleeping bag w/ a more durable material on the outside('cuz it'll get pooped on I'm sure) & baby blanket fleece on the inside w/ a velcro or snap to hold it shut so when I wash it I can open it so it cleans better. Just gotta' get to the fabric store
