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.

[Sashee]

No, one of the other girls on here made it for him.

Ok, so I was finally able to get some non-adhesive shelf liner for Yoshi's viv. He sat on my shoulder while I cut it to the correct size, and then when i sat him in with it, he licked it and then pooped on it.

I guess he has officially given it his seal of approval. :wink:

:laughhard:

'Nuff done, Yoshi. 'Nuff done.

I was just glad he waited til I put him down and didn't go while he was on my shoulder. LOL It was nice though, cuz with the repticarpet, if I had just cleaned it and he pooped, I would've been kinda mad. LOL But i just wiped it up. It's great. HAHA

I wish my Beardies would help me get ready lol :lol:
They would jump off me the first chance they get and run away to play.

 

[Sashee]

LOL! He was hissing at my cat when she hopped up on the sink. Like, "It's *MY* time with Mom, go away!"

 

[Beezer25]

Lol that's great
The only other pet I have that would so something like that are ferrets, but I don't let them near each other.

Today was one of Yoshi's first possessive moments that I've picked up on. He was in his tank, partial blackbeard (his head is shedding and taking FOREVER). I picked him up and he turned his normal colors (still dark, not "happy" colors but his usual self) when I put him on my shirt. I ran water for his bath and put him in and he turned the dark colors again til i dried him off and put him back on my shirt. He went BACK to the brighter colors til I put him in the tank which caused him to once again go dark. LOL Now he's on my chest as i type and he's perfectly content with his normal colors once again.

 

[Sashee]

Waaaaaasssssup!!!!!
