Hello Everyone!
So we have been in the process of building a home for a Beardie and once we had everything we were going to go buy one. However we were out at a local Petsmart looking for some of the remaining things we needed and to our surprise they had 3 babies in stock! So we paid for our stuff and decided to go watch them for a bit... After about 10 mins or so one of the little guys had caught our eye, he was very energetic and curious, he was running around and climbing stuff all over the place stopping every minute or so at the glass to have a look at us then off exploring he would go! He seemed very happy and like he was enjoying his little life, so obviously we fell in love with this little guy... But at this point we weren't quite ready for a beardie yet (still needed to purchase all the lighting needed) so we had to walk away and hope that when the time came he'd still be there.
Well the next day we decided that we didn't want to wait and lose out on our chance with this lil' guy, so even though we haven't been able to find the lighting we were hoping to get, we went out and bought some cheaper basic lighting supplies for the time being and we'll upgrade in a week or so
We decided on calling him Demetri, here he is!
I have to say, for the very little time we have had with him so far he's been quite interesting, I already have a story! Haha
After we shut things down for the first night he went a little haywire for a minute or two... Running around and climbing up and down his basking tree, then he stopped, looked at the back decor foam wall and decided to scale it right to the top, almost as if he was trying to get out... This made me feel bad at first like something might have been wrong... Then he jumped off back down to the floor, turned around and tried to climb up again, however this time he didn't go right to the top, he stopped about one inch from the top... We sat back and watched as we tried to figure out just what the heck he was doing, but he just stayed there! After about 10 - 15 mins we decided to step away and let him be. Well to my surprise, when I checked on him in morning he was still there... Sleeping on the wall!! Hahaha is that normal?
Here's a pic I snapped before he woke up.
Maybe we shoulda called him Spidey or something
Thanks for stopping by,
Pascal
