I've been quiet for a little while so you know that means I'm going to bombard you all with pictures now!
I've taken Precious to the pet store twice. It's funny because online it seems there are more beardeds in Precious's coloring but I have not seen any her color in the pet stores I've been to in this area, they're all dark leatherbacks. The pet store employees go crazy about her coloring saying she's so rare and beautiful lol. Even had one employee tell me he's got an incubator and a boy that he would love to breed with her. Wanted me to consider the idea...but that will never happen, could never have Precious babies being sold in a pet store! I don't even remember what the person I got Precious from said she was. I think citrus smooth, does that sound right?
Anyway, Precious really tugged at my heart strings the last time I took her to the pet store. When we got back to the car, I went to put her in her carrier and she kept spreading out and trying to stop me from putting her in so I put a blanket on the passenger seat and let her sit there. It was very sunny, the sun was hitting directly that spot. She actually loves being in the car as far as I can tell, is very curious about it. So when she seemed settled, I was ready to start driving off when all of a sudden she went to the edge of the passenger seat closest to me and then jumped over the middle section onto my lap. She eventually got on my leg, stretched herself out and went into basking position. She was completely content on my leg...so much so that I actually drove home with her right there (I know, I'm a reckless mom!). I loved that as soon as she was with me, she seemed comfortable. Where she was, she could actually peek out the window at times. She would get a little concerned when a loud motorcycle went by, but I'd pet her and tell her it's ok and she'd relax again. It was really a true bonding moment for us, I think. I'm usually second fiddle to my son who has always seemed to be her #1, it made me feel special.
Anyway, here are pics:
On the passenger seat
On my leg
With the weather being nicer, I've been opening the back door a lot for the animals to enjoy.
Precious and my 18 yr old cat
Precious tried to walk right through the screen a couple times before she figured out she can't go lol.

It's funny to see the photo where she "kisses" with the cat
