So I've been flip flopping between getting a beardie or a corn snake for quite some time. I wanted a display tank reptileWell anyhow, I went to an exotic animal auction which was supposed to have a bunch of reptiles, the 2 beardies were the only reptiles at the whole sale
Anyway, I wasn't planning to get a beardie this weekend but this one was going for $20 and I bid on it and got it for $25. It's thin, but has been eating great for me!
I'm pretty sure it's a she based on the vent area, but I really don't know. She's really calm and friendly. She gets kind of weird when I pick her up, I'm not sure if that's normal and she just need to get used to it. She tenses up and sometimes it seems like I startle her when I put my fingers under her belly to pick her up.
Size comparison. I forgot to measure her, but she's 190 grams.
I'm in the process of building her a display tank, so she's temporarily in a 20 gallon long tank. Hopefully not more than a week or two! She has a brand new UVB UVA hood, heat lamp, and UTH. And I'm not using sand or anything like that as substrate. Once I get her display tank done it will have flooring tiles.
