Peeking in...

Congrats on your win! That’s pretty cool that you and your nephew are getting BDs on the same day and across the globe from one another.

Sorry to hear about your horse with the anhidrosis. I can somewhat relate. I had some brain damage from a waterskiing crash off the jump ramp many years ago. For 30 years I didn’t sweat from the waist up. It was quite embarrassing in the business world whenever I came in from outside during the summer and my pants were drenched, but not my shirt. Now I sweat about half as much in the upper body.

Good to know that your horse has YOU as an owner. That must be a lot if extra work keeping her cool. Have you thought about buying her a swimming pool too ?

Hm. You may be on to something, LOL. But that might be a little out of the price range. So she will have to do with all the fans and the mister system I've installed.

I didn't realize that humans can get anhidrosis, but I guess its quite possible. How odd that you only got it in half of your body. It is still not 100% understood in the horse world but it seems to have to do with horses being in extreme heat AND humidity. So..often in the south east. The sweat glands just stop working when it gets hot and humid. Which it does half the year here. She sweats just fine in the winter.


So yes, I won a Beardie !! LOL. And yes, SO SO SO much more work then the snake OR a crested gecko. I already knew that, but its been so long that I had a beardie, I almost forgot..
He sure is a funny one, though. 7 month old, 200 gr. Quite big already.


I would LOVE to live in AZ. I can take the dry heat all the day, its the humidity that gets to me. And Boger, yes, its not easy doing anything labor intensive in this intense heat/humidity. And there is a lot of hard work when it comes to horses. But she is worth it, her and I go together, LOL.
