Hello and welcome to the forum! Your bearded dragon looks adorable!

And you asked for some funny experiences I've had with my bearded dragons. This is a picture of my bearded dragon doing her princess wave!

So adorable never in my life did I expect to adopt a bearded dragon lol but I must say past couple months have been interesting and a learning process .. opie was just a tiny thing when I got her and in 3 months shes 4 times her size growing up strong and healthy as I can get her, she is definitely growing into a personality spoiled one she is .. big patience is the key I believe and I've had nothing but and its paying off .. we've been doing what I call shoulder time couple times a day and she comes sits on my chest and shoulder as we walk around, do dishes, clean up around mi casa play video games , sing to her even and act crazy as she sits and watches like this crazy human lol she is super awesome and I'm glad I took the opportunity to become a dragon mommy

She’s adorable and a very pretty dragon. I have 3 of them I’m fostering one and he has such a funny personality. Sadly some of his tail got bit off so now he’s a huge jumper and I swear part frog. He’ll jump from the couch to the table and has even jumped on a couple of my cacti was I was watering them. Thank god lizard skin is thick. I also have an old timer for a beardie, she’s 11 year old rescue that I got out of a bad situation and nursed her back to health. Ever since then she’s been my partner in crime and comes everywhere with me. She always watches me from her tank while I’m in the room to make sure I’m ok, she even learned the sound of my voice and will look for me if I’m not around. Than my final beardie it’s just a spoiled rotten dragon who is very protective about his food if anyone goes near his crickets and I mean humans not other beardies he starts bobbing his head and slapping the floor. It’s adorable to see

That is awesome and adorable haha he slaps the floor I would just die laughing I admire how tough they try to be but I'm like yeah I'm not scared !!!! Thank you for sharing ur story ur dragons are beautiful and very handsome I hope I can get opie to live a long happy life .. she just got her harnesses and leashes today so we are going to slowly introduce her to those so we can go on small adventures and go to the pet stores before it gets cold out .. shes almost a year so I'm excited to see her grow more and become more spoiled lol this has been a learning experience for me and im always open to any advice, tricks, more pictures and stories thanks again for sharing

Opie is adorable. I'm a new mum myself. I've had Dexter since June. He's just coming out of his second shed, but two of his favorite things to do is climb his bush and sit at the top of his log and watch TV. lol When I put his crickets into his tank he'll literally climb down his bush in .28 seconds to get at them. He's too quick to get a picture of him getting down, but here's some pics of him sitting on his log.
