Flashback roughly two and a half years ago. There I am 16 years old and I am dying to get a bearded dragon. I have spent the past month staring at a computer screen just to watch bearded dragon feeding videos. I did very little true research and therefore rushed into buying the beardie before gathering the essentials. I could go on and on with this story but I'm sure we know how it ends... Fast forward to September 15, 2013, two days after my birthday, I have been without a beardie for about a year and have done 2 months of research. I didn't go a single day without trying to memorize everything I need to know and have before I start this adventure all over. As I approach the bearded dragons one of them runs to the front of all of them to get a good look at me. At that very moment I knew that was the little guy I wanted.....I was wrong. When the lady let me handle him he scurried back to her hand and wouldn't let me touch him. Then, as she was setting the "untouchable one" back in the enclosure, out of nowhere a little girl that had been pretty reclusive crawled onto the lady's hand. This one was the one. It climbed off her hand into mine and immediately flattened out to absorb the heat my nervous palm was expelling. I had just about everything left over from my last beardie so all I needed was a UVB bulb and a new heat lamp. It's been 2 days now and I've cleaned poop a total of 4 times! This should be great. OH YEAH!! The little one doesn't have a name....
The day after we got her, I noticed that she was scratching on his climb constantly and there was a little shed around his eyes. So she got his first bath that day.
This is probably 15 minutes after the bath. Lots of shed!
Here she is "eyeing" her greens. 30 seconds later she devoured them.
