This is my new pet bearded dragon! This is my second one. The first was I had lived to be about 4 years old and about a foot long not including his tail. My dad was the one who held him and everything and when my dad passed away the lizard just became very sad. He wouldn't eat. His color changed and eventually he passed away too. I think he was sad.

Well.... about a year later and my sister bought me this one two days ago. He is a juvenile beardy and just about the size of my finger excluding the tail. I gave him a couple of days to adjust to his new home, but today he was at the edge of the cage playing with me and he let me pet him. Soon, I will pick him up and I am just so excited! Do any of you have pets?

Cool! Always wanted a lizard. Have u named it?

I named him Leviathan. I chose this because this was the name of a large beautiful creature in the Bible. I like to think it may have been some sort of lizard because they are amazing creatures!

ooh that's a good name.

Lizards rock! Best of luck with your new pet :)

Thank you! I have had snakes too, but I do like lizards more!

Looks great! Does he/she have any colouration on the beard or underbelly?

I used to breed beardies as a kid and sell them to local pet shops. My mum even bred cockroaches and crickets to feed my growing army of dragons. Actually my mum did most of the work whilst I banked my first ever cheque, $500 from selling lizards. Not bad for a 12 year old

Wow! That sounds like a lot of fun! We tried breeding crickets to feed my last one but they were too noisy and had an awful smell! He doesn't have much color right now under his beard or belly. My last one had a beautiful orange beard. I am quute excited to see how this one will grow!

I'm excited to see it grow too. I'll follow you in hope's to see more photos :)
