Dad did say no more SNAKES

[puddintain]

L@@K what Mom and I picked up today!! Isn't he/she precious??




He is just so funny. As soon as we put hom in the tank I assumed he would run and hide and we wouldn't see him until he settled in. Oh no he is one nosey little dragon. He's been checking us out and every inch of the tank.

The little baby is yet un-named.

And don't they grow pretty fast too? Doesn't matter we have spare tank up to 55gas. he is in a 10 now but I know that will only last a month or so.

Go ahead and bump him up, theres no way he will have the correct heat and uvb in a ten gallon without getting over heated. Also Beardies do not need hides.

Whats your tank set up look like?

One thing you'll learn is that each Beardie has their own personality. We have 3 and they all have their own little quirks and are nothing but a joy to have around. One thing to keep in mind is, the more time you spend with your beardie the more fun you'll have with him. If you handle them regularly as a baby then they will love being handled as an adult and they can become very affectionate as well.
There's a reason these animals are ranked at the top of the list for reptiles that are fun to own. You sure got yourself a gorgeous one there as well. Congrats!!!

Matt should we go straight up to the 55? he is so tiny Im worried he wont eat well. We have these things bought already a UV day bulb and a moon lamp for night, water dish, a half log (he stays on top of it) cage carpet but thinking of going with newspaper, some greenery and a thermometer with with probe to monitor hot and cooler sides. I have screen tops for the 20 gallon but will have to get one for the 55. anything you think we should add to the shopping list?
