Hello :)

I recently lost my bearded dragon to old age. He was 12 when he passed away. I regret not breeding him so I could have kept his line going. He was incredibly friendly and interactive. I have recently put a hold on two breeder quality beardies from Fire and Ice Dragons. I have bred steppe runner lizards with success, but also want to try my hand at breeding bearded dragons and blue rock lizards . I am hoping to get good guidance from the veterans here

This is my guy when he was three. His name was Daku, which means sand. He is also my avatar

Sorry for your loss. 12 years, is a good long life for a beardie.

Thank you Canicke and Patsy . I raised Daku from 7 weeks. He really was one of my kids. Since he has passed it's been strange not having a beardie around. The steppe runners are cute little lizards, but they don't have the beardie personality. Probably because of their size they are a bit more timid and they don't really interact with their handlers.

Beardies are full of personality! I would really miss mine if something happened to them. I wish I would have gotten into them when I was younger. As my boyfriend always says, I never knew I'd fall in love with a prickly pear!

 

[blurokliz]

Lol It's hard not to fall in love with them!

Sorry for your loss. He looks amazing! We had a hypo translucent called morph and he died at 8 months think he had a genetic condition. 12 is an amazing age

 

[blurokliz]

Thank you Sorry to hear about morph . Are you getting another one?

 

[asmart]

That's okay we have 2 others called Jed and bilbo hope to get another eventually

 

[blurokliz]

I know what you mean . I had four beardies at one time. When my late husband became sick I had to part with three of them for financial reasons. Daku is the one I chose to keep because he was my first Now that I have none I'm adding to my home again

 

[asmart]

Aww four sounds like a handful lol. Aww I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I find them such great company. Do you have them from babies or as adults?

 

[blurokliz]

I raised all of them from babies...seven weeks. They were all around three when I found good homes for them.

 

[asmart]

Awww they are so adorable at that age. Morph was about that age when we got him was scared to touch him sometimes lol
