I got my bearded dragon today! I'm super duper excited! He doesn't have an official name yet, so far he's been called Dragon mostly. Perhaps Puff will be his full name, and just call him whatever comes to mind.
The girl I got him from was awesome and wrote me up a list of things he can and can't eat, as well as basic care instructions. Tomorrow I'm gonna go buy him some leafy greens and fruits and get him some crickets.
I hadn't mentioned the fact that I was getting him to any of my roomies, but thankfully a couple of them really are into lizards, so I have baby sitters for when I go home for the weekend!
Already he's got photoshoots planned... haha and I'm thinkin of getting some of my desert pictures printed from Australia to put up on the back of his tank so that it feels a bit more realistic... cuz I mean, a dragon born in captivity should know what it's like to live in the Australian desert, right?
Matt and I are going to Little Ray's Reptile place tomorrow so maybe I'll get a book on beardies and find out more about how to care for the little guy. He's totally personable though. He practically fell asleep in Matt's arms when we brought him back here to my place. I can't wait to let him run freely around my room!
