On a rare occasion

[Red Ink AUS]

G'day guys,

I don't really post pics of my BD anywhere, don't want you guys to start thinking that I don't actually own one lol. Well here's my boy, he just woke up from brumation about two weeks ago and decided to go mountain climbing.

He's beautiful Francis! I love his color. Mine is just going down for brumation now. I only have Frank to keep me occupied now

I love the decor in your enclosure . . . looks natural. Nice photo

Very nice, Francis! (decor and beardie)

 

[staylor]

He is beautiful

Wow.......seven. He looks really good for seven years old. Nice weight, proportional. Did he lose much during brumation? He doesn't look like he's been missing out.

Oww thanks Gina, he keeps fit for an old boy. I keep all my specimens "lean". He did not lose any weight during brumation, never really lost any weight during brumation the whole time I've had him. Fat tail but very little fat storage anywhere else with this boy.

I was actually just about to make a post on how lean he is. Compared to most dragons I've seen in the US they are blimps compared to your guy. Personally I think the leaner look healthier IMO. The rest look like sumo wrestlers to me lol

 

[Gizmo]

Ooooo hes a sweetie! Did you make that rock wall or buy it? me likie!!! ;D

 

[zebraflavencs]

Hey Francis, you being a fellow Aussie, and a beardie expert, can you tell me what types of veg and bugs you feed your beardie? Cheers
