Rex!

[Mbuxx]

This is my bearded dragon Rex, she(I believe shes a she) is 12.

She's 12?? Is that old for a dragon? She looks good....love that belly!!

 

[Mbuxx]

I believe it is.. Quite a bit above average age.. That's why I decided to join, I want to give her the best life possible.. Thinking sadly she could go at any time.

I actually purchased her back in highschool in 2000, so I guess she's going on 13 lol

 

[Mbuxx]

You wanna see a belly shot..

This was after a good feeding with a horned worm at the end.

 

[Pat B]

OMg....what a Miss Piggy you have!! Love it....she is a healthy and happy girl

 

[Mbuxx]

Thank you, I felt bad, because I had a custom built set up Made when I lived at my parents but I Didnt have the room when I moved out so she was downgraded to a smaller aquarium. But I just recently picked up this 36x18x19 tank, not too familiar if that would be called a breeder tank or whatever? But she seems to be happier already.

 

[Pat B]

I think a breeder tank is considered 40gal but not sure. Has she ever laid eggs? I know females can but they aren't fertile. Never could understand that!

 

[Mbuxx]

Nope never lol

 

[Augie]

12 years... WOW! Welcome to the forums!

Yes your enclosure is 40 gal breeder size. What a beautiful old dinosaur .

 

[Mbuxx]

Oh I thought the calculation was lxhxw/231 which gave me just over 50 gal haha, the tag said 50 gallon anyhow when I bought. I was just un aware of what a "breeder" cage is

 

[Pat B]

50 gal size is very good. Don't know why they call aquariums 'breeders'. Maybe that is where a boy and a girl mate and she lays her eggs?

 

[Mbuxx]

Must be that perfect size to set the mood. Lol

 

[Pat B]

probably .....and your Rex would need a boyfriend! hahaha

 

[Germ]

Certain sized aquariums are used because they are more effectively sized to Breed Fish, therefore called Breeder Tanks.

 

[Mbuxx]

Ah makes sence

 

[Pat B]

Oh!! I didn't know that....I thought they were called 'breeders' to breed dragons!! Learn something new everyday!!

 

[Jesse omg it's me]
