Izzy's Update

Izzy is 220 grams and 15.5 inches long. Here are pics of Izzy pressing her beely against the tank to show off her belly-spots and a few of her worshipping her sun god.

Taz's Update

Taz is doing great. She still doesn't like swimming and still hasn't shed. She has dark green stripes when she is outside sunning. Taz is 372 grams today and 19 inches long! I think she's gonna be huge.

Mango's Update

The vet does think Mango is eggy or about to be so she remailns in her egg-laying-friendly setup and loves it. Mango loves swimming just as much as Izzy. She gets very active and her pattern gets dark and her belly gets great spots when she is outside. She weighs 412 grams today but is only 12 inches long due to her tail nip.

Pickles

Pickles getting crix.

Outside for a soak and some sun. She is 112 grams and 11.25 inches long today.

New Dragon Pug

I got Pug on Saturday at the Round Rock Expo. He is about a month old and has some purdy colors.

New Dragon Bandit

Got him at the expo on Saturday in Round Rock. He weighs 95 grams and is 11.5 inches long. He is in the process of a full body shed so we will get to see what he really looks like tomorrow. He has lots of gold and burnt orange on him.

Cage Setups.

Mango with her new egg-laying friendly condo. The vet said we should make sure that she can lay eggs if she needs to. They are unfertilized as far as I know. Wet sand is in 1 corner of the aquarium (as recommended by a breeder at the reptile and amphibian expo in round rock on Saturday. The other side is dry. She is super active in the new cage and chasing her crix without dragging her belly. She is still not so fond of greens. I don't feed her worms as they are fattening. Mango loves to swim outside and fall asleep on you in the evenings.


Mango upper left. Izzy on the right. Izzy was coccidia positive and completed her new antibiotics but still won't eat crix but will take Superworms and veggies. She is much more active though now so I hope to see her chasing crix in no time.
Pickles is on the floor. I lined the outside of her cage so she could stop attacking her reflection. She likes her veggies and gets dusted crix 1-2x per day.


New dragon, Bandit, 5 mos old just like Pickles. He couldn't room in with Pickles because he was too aggressive. He head bobs and arm waves and his beard is often black. We will hold him a lot to get him socialized as he is still head bobbing when we hold him. He may be irritable because he is shedding right now. He likes crix 1-2x per day and eats his salad veggies well.


Taz is enjoying Mango's old condo. Taz is a very active and sometimes aggressive lizard and is really loving this cage and hascalmed down quite a bit. I think this one is a female! She likes her sandbox to sleep in. She is on antibiotics for a bacterial infection and then will be on another antibiotic as she was coccidia positive too. Taz has the biggest appetite out of all the lizards we own. He eats the most veggies too. He loves superworms and his dusted crix. I gave him twice the amount of veggies today than usual and he gulped them all down.



This is Pug, he is about 1 month old and pretty tiny still. He is eating very small crix and likes chopped up greens. He is a nervous little thing and only tolerates being held for brief periods. He is cute and has great colors. I gave him a quick soak tonight and he drank water. Very sweet.

New Pics Today

Taz is 346gm and 12 months old. Taz ran around in the livingroom like a nut today. He sure is quick. I am amazed he let me weigh him. Taz looks like he will shed on his tail and one of his back legs soon.


Pickles is 78gms and 4 months old. She is doing great and is in her 1st shed since she has been with us.


Izzy is 216gms and 12 months old. I took a repeat fecal specimen to the vet today but I don't know the results yet so she is still on her antibiotics and doing great.


Mango is 396gm and about 15 months old. Mango continues to be so sweet but at the same time a bit too passive. I am hoping that now that she is starting to chase crix and we stopped mealies that she will perk up some. She is refusing most veggies except for carrots so I tricked her into taking some collard greens. We will get her swimming outside hopefully tomorrow if it doesn't rain and see how she likes that as I think it'll be great exercise for her.

Pickles weight

She is weighing in at 74 grams today and eats a ton of crix and likes her veggies too. She is a sweet little thing but I have to put my hair up when I hold her as she likes to chew on my hair.

Mango

Mango is a darling and definitely as sweet as Izzy if not the sweetest of the bunch. She loves to nuzzle your neck in the evening and is enjoying her crix and her hidebox. I trimmed her nails today and she didn't complain at all.

Izzy's follow up at the vet today

It went well. Izzy is still on antibiotics until we have a repeat fecal test done and she passes. She gained lots of weight. She is 216 grams now and much more active.

Another Beardie!!! Taz

This bearded dragon is 10 months old and beautiful but somewhat tempermental to say the least. His previous owner called hime Spike but we renamed him Taz because he has a devilish streak as you can see fron his photo debut. This was after sunning and water play which he wasn't that into. He is extremely active and very particular about how he is handled so we are doing things his way to a point. We know he will eventually settle down with time and patience once he gets used to us and his new home. I sat with him quietly this evening and we snuggled for a few minutes. He tried to dart away twice but resettled. We will be holding him for short intervals several times daily. He hated the newspaper and paper towel in his cage so we stuck to the repti-carpet he is used to for now as we don't want to stress him out too much. He is scratching the hack out of us and we have finally figured out that he prefers to be held facing forward when being carried. Not too difficult. I did manage to trim his nails on the right when he was sleepy tonight. The left side is tomorrow night's challenge.

New Beardie's Name

Stumpy's new name is Mango. I kept calling her Fat Patty but Kati didn't like that one too much. She was sleeping on my leg this evening and she was so flat and round I thought she looked like a Pineapple and somehow that evolved into Mango.

New Beardie!

Our new beardie was called Stumpy by his previous owner as she lost part of her tail to hungry siblings when she was a baby. She is a beautiful yellow with silvery-lavendar sidebars. She also has a lot of orange details. She has a great personality and gives lots of kisses. Most of all-she is huge. I weighed her and she is nearly 400 grams. Izzy only weighs 200 grams. They are the same age, both about 1 year. She had a great first night and seems happy. We are glad to have her :)

3rd Anole this week!!!

Kati has caught 3 different anoles in the last 3 days. The first one snapped its tail off, the 2nd one had a straight pretty tail, and the one today had a crooked tail. We let all of them go in the bushes in front of our house. I also saw a big Mediterranean Gecko last night hanging around the front door. It looked like it was eating well but took off so so pics. They all must love this hot humid weather we are getting now.

Our new ribbon snake

Our new ribbon snake. Kati named her Sally. Sally was caught by Kati's friend Justin. She eats feeder fish and seems to like her new home.
