Hello from Chicago

[Henry X Stella]

Only a few months old from a local Illinois breeder. Looking forward to learning everything I can to prolong the lives and health of my dragons. They are both very active and playful and will eat anything i feed. Handled daily by friends and family, always really eager to hop in my hand and stay put on my shoulder or chest. I enjoy these guys a little more each day and am sure I'll have more reptiles in the near future. Can't wait to get to know and learn from other dragon lovers.

Good morning from Columbia SC. Welcome to BDF.

 

[Germ]

Is it your intention to house them together?

 

[Henry X Stella]

I had them together temporarily because the breeder said most of the time they're friendly of paired at a young age and may never even mate. Just be like sibling buddies forever...I didn't know better. That was only for weeks till I researched more and got another 40gal setup for Stella in my living room. (Henry's 75gal is in the bedroom) so now we've got dragons all over. My good friend may actually be giving me another as well. She has a two year old male she doesn't have the time for anymore. I guess the spare room is getting a tenant soon too.

I've seen the pics and heard many stories..was just at PETsMART the other day and a lady had a big yellow beardie missing its left front and back legs from being housed with three others :/

I love this Breed and don't want to end up with half a Lazard. Plus it would be nice to have them mate someday. Would be a great mix thanks.

Welcome to the BDF Community! And BRAVO on getting your dragons set up in their own individual homes

Hi fellow Chicagoan! We were at Petco a few months back and almost took in a bearded dragon that had his foot bit off by a tank mate. The employees knew enough to put him in his own tank, too bad they couldn't do that before the accident

 

[Noella]

That's too bad! I went to Petland on the third of April and saw a bunch of juvenile bearded dragons all together. They were showing all signs of head bobbing, fighting, and so forth. When I went to tell someone that it's time to separate them, they were like, "Well, we weren't sure if they were fighting or not. We saw the head bobbing and wasn't fighting. Yeah, we'll separate them." When I came back to them, I was given various stink eyes by the entire clutch of juveniles for rapping on the top and telling them to behave themselves and stop dominating each other! LOL!

Here's a few of Henry today 4/28/13 after breakfast. tail finishing a shed, looking so much bigger every day. .he's always so chill and loves to just sit in my flat hand. watches every move i make. very cool duder.

And a few of Miss Stella this morning. she's definitely a snooty little lady. ATTITUDE FOR DAYS.

**Please comment and message me, ask me questions. Be a critic. I'd love to get to know some of you in Cali. especially. :$

They really are beautiful! I love how red Henry is. Must be something in the Chicago air, I was dealing with a little girl with attitude for the last week. She's gotten better this weekend I think it was because she got to go out and sit in the sun for a bit.

 

[Noella]

Who's got a big fat happy belly!

They're really nice looking and they look like they're going to be spoiled very soon.

 

[Henry X Stella]

thanks so much for the kind words. keep em' coming i really do enjoy being a party of this community.

 

[Pat B]

She is beautiful!! Love the comment about 'attitude'!! My beardie has one from the devil himself!! He marches to the beat of his own drum and I can't 'tell' him a darn thing....he doesn't listen!

 

[Noella]

Well! I guess I can call Allie, Spoiled Little Princess. LOL! I talk to Boog (Allie) and she'll sit there and look at me.
