Zak-n-Wheezie the 2-Headed Bearded Dragon(s) RIP APR 4/16

[TASTIGER]

its clear that they each have a mind of their own did you see the stink eye the first time they moved forward? its like hey im trying to eat here!

Thanks MissMichelle an Atrax ...one of the unique things about Zak-n-Wheezie is that they are not like most 2-headed creatures they do not share a stomach. However even if they did I would still have and continue to feed both heads as equally as possible. My reasoning for this is that it has helped immensely in fighting dominance/hierarchy issues.
Which (***knock on wood***) we still do not have.

Not sure what kind of updates or how often for the next couple of months...they didn't wanna get up today either.
Though I did get a sleepy eyed "good morning Mommy" look from them :love5: before they dozed back out.
So most of what you will get is sleepy-time pic's, but that's okay because they are double double precious. :love5:

Thank-you Kelli!

Thank-you Mary!
Dawn is correct...though I think mine came in a pack of 2 just alike. It makes it much easier to feed with. Due to the larger hole, large bulb thingy, easy to wash,...etc... Just some of them the markings do not last after several washing...though by then you usually know about where is how much.
I can actually get a good flow going with it when they lap at it like a hamster would a water bottle, though this works best if I'm holding them. When we do it like that there's much less mess. I just couldn't manage it and taking a video at the same time. :lol:

Barb, the pics and video of the boys were wonderful. I don't know why you said the video was lousy. I thought it was GREAT! :mrgreen:
The way you pamper those two is an inspiration to all beardie owners, whether of the one-headed or two-headed kind. :wink:
The little green things you were feeding them... were those horns or some kind of moistened beardie pellet? It was hard to tell.... my eyes are failing me, LOL

Thanks Dawn!
It wasn't your eye's that's what I meant by lousy...kind of blurry. The green thingys are RepCal Adult Formula beardie pellets. They love them an are easy for them to eat, swallow, and digest.

Thank-you BeardedDragon6!
Sounds like something I'd purchase to watch and play for the beardies.

Thank-you Christine and thanks for the link to the trailer. :wink:
I'll definately check it out in just a minute.
They always rush the camera :lol: ... They are HAMS. :lol: Good thing huh? I mean that they like the camera. :lol:
I remember when the were interviewing them for animal planet part of the footage they got was them zooming across the table at the camera.I'd have loved to seen that kind of stuff aired....wish they'd have shown some of the amazing stuff like that instead of the freakness. Or how they each know their own name and respond to it....well not today. :lol:

Whoops I was laggin on hitting that submit button and missed your post TASTIGER.

Yes they do both have a mine of their own. The stink eye usually comes when they are both wanting me to give them the next bite. :lol: It's like okay then... "If I can't have it neither can you! I'll drag you to the cool end and mommy won't let us eat there."

 

[TASTIGER]

everyone says how could you love a dumb reptile and then they do stuff like that and it suprises them because they really are extreamly smart

LoL,
They are really precious. One of a kind, or should I say, double of a kind. :lol: :lol:

 

[fresnowitte]

They are extremely smart TAGSTER. :mrgreen:

Few minor examples that always amaze me are.... beardies usually know what days you have off from work or school and will show excitement if they are accustom to doing something special or spending more time with their slaves on a particular day of the week on a somewhat consistant basis.

Or they know what time of day that you are expected to come home from work or school. Mine get excited when it's time for Frank to come home or on weekends and will move to the front of the glass waiting for dad because on Saturdays they get to go for rides during nice weather.

They can tell you when they don't feel good, are to warm or cold, or if they are hungry or need to poop without the use of words.

Mine even know when I don't feel good or if I'm upset. An I seriously feel they are trying to comfort me. :love5:

They have memory and emotions. They feel love an unfortuneatly some feel pain an;or abuse.
They can become sad or even depressed they can show joy and happiness.

People that don't think they are smart must not realize(benifit of the doubt here :roll: ) they're hatched pre-programmed for survival...no-one to guide them or teach them like with human's and our furry friends.
So who's really the smarter creature? :laughing6:

Thanks again Atrax!

[TASTIGER]

not going to lie i perfer my scaled babies over my furry babies lol they are alot smarter

 

[fresnowitte]

Amen! :wink:

 

[beardie parents]

Barb, Miss O was like that, she had to comfort. She comforted her sister (Miss Y) when she wasn't feeling good and we didn't know about beardies then. Anyway, she also comforted Bill when he was upset about something or not feeling good. Redrock did the same thing. With Goldie, Bill is teaching her to help him when he gets disoriented and she's doing good.

 

[fresnowitte]

Good girl Goldie...see they are even therapeutic.

 

[beardie parents]

Yes, Barb, they are. Bill calls Goldie our service animal.
