We have a beardie that we call our miracle baby.

The conditions she was in were so deplorable that the tankmate we bought her with died within a week. They were skinny and emaciated. We suspect they were fed only once every three days. I felt bad and didn't want to leave them there behind to die. But did turn around but its left her seriously stunted.

They have so much personality. Our girl waves at us when we pass by, and runs from end to end to watch us when we are in the kitchen or going into the living room. They're pretty quick but they do like to cling to shirts and 'chill' out with you kind of the way your BP does. Usually when they get bigger though, when still small and under the 8 inch mark they are still a lil worrisome and need to be closely watched.

If you get one for your bro make sure the legs are plump and the stomach isn't flat. The dragon will sit with you.. ours has for up to an hour. But warning, it will poo on you!
