Hellow beardie world.

[Craiger]

Some of you may know me, some maybe not. I have two beardies (one male, one female) and an iguana. Names are Frodo, Sam, and Gandalf, respectively. I've built my own custom enclosures. Frodo's was the first....an in-the-wall enclosure that's 6 feet long, 2 feet tall and 2 feet deep. Sam's is stand alone....and is 6 feet tall (three pieces: canopy, enclosure, and stand). The enclosure is 5 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. Gandalf's is the biggest by far at 8 feet long, 7 feet tall and 4 feet deep. I'll post some pics sometime. For now, I'd just like to introduce myself. ;D

For the record, Frodo will be 4 years old this May and has some GG in his blood (he's about 22 inches long and 650 grams). Sam will be 3 years old in July, is 17 inches long and is a Tangerine/Sandfire dragon.

Thanks Crypt! I'll try to post some this evening. My wife and I are going out....so if I forget, this weekend for sure.

Hi and welcome ! Oh yes.. Please post pictures ! Many of us have built our own enclosures, however I think you may have the longest !

Hey Craig! Nice to see you around. I think you'll find this little nook of the net quite appealing.

Post up some pics and get to know everybody.

 

[Craiger]

Thanks Janie.

Oh darn....okay. Just a few to start. When I had build-threads on other forums, they tended to turn into 20-something page long threads. So I'll just keep these real brief. I'll post links to my Photobucket account if somebody wants to see more detailed pics....and as long as it's okay to post the links. I don't want to do anything wrong right off the bat.

Frodo and his lair.

Sam and hers. If you look at her picture real close, you'll see why I now have non-adhesive linoleum on the floor of her enclosure. Tore me up when this happened.

Gandalf and his (by the way....he's like almost 5 feet long, now).

 

[Craiger]

Oh...and hey Gina. *waves* Sorry....didn't see your reply 'til after I posted last. ;D

 

[zebraflavencs]

Craig... okay, I can admit in a friendly way of a touch of jealousy ?
Niiiice very nice... Gandalf Now there is a handsome, regal looking fellow !
Oh, I post my photobucket all the time... The whole album site...
So.. please.. share ?

Okay....in that case. It's http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/Craiger7/

You want to look for Dragons Lair (Frodo's), Sams Place, and Gandalf. The rest? If you have too much time on your hands, you can feel free to browse around. The two beautiful girls on the front page of my account are my twins. I'm expecting no comments from the peanut gallery (those being male and under 25....or just male for that matter). LOL! I AM 6'3" and 240 pounds. Real rough and tough kinda guy. Right Gina? LOL!

Didn't take you very long at all. LOL!

Big kitty has lost about 5 pounds since we got him on a holistic diet. He acts like a kitten again...and he's almost 10 years old.

RC is a bit of the past....as are the cichlids. I was more into Africans than SAs, though.

Now Jeeps....oh yeah! I can talk about those all day....but won't. Don't worry. ;D

Hmm....O.T.B.I.H.S. No idea what you're talking about! LOL!

By the way...is it okay to talk about all of this in the Beardie Forum?

Sweet! Lookin' forward to it.

 

[ladyknite]

Things are pretty relaxed here Craig.
If the topic is vital, we stay on target. But in something relaxed......no harm in being friendly. that's how we all get to know each other.

Hey, you just got back from Cloud 9 right?
Where's the pics?

 

[zebraflavencs]

Not on the photobucket yet, Gina.. so we'uns gotta wait.. lol
