Hello. I am a brand new owner. I purchased a bearded dragon for my son's 11th birthday. It is a lot bigger than the ones at petstart and am surprised about that!. I went to pick him up with all his equipment today. The woman said he was 10 inches and I measured 17 total! She said she had him for 1 1/2 years. She gave me the lamps, tank, wood, bowls, rock. Also she said he eats mealworms and certain plant from her garden, like a passion vine. I have heard from many people online that mealworms are not the best food but that is what she has been giving him. She gave me some to start a colony with, a big bucket of them. She also had a female that she kept. He is very mellow and easy going.
Does any one have any ideas about his age?
What about the mealworms? should I just keep feeding him the same things she has. He seems so big to me but then again, I have never had one. We really are so fond of him already. I want him to be comftarble and happy with us.
She had him in a bathroom. Is it a good idea to have him in a living room so he has things to see or can I keep him in my son's room? my son is in there some of the time.
I was told to turn off both lights at night, is that correct?
I am looking forward to getting more information and input about this guy.
He also needs a *name*. Any hints?
The Turner family: Sophie (me), Jeremy (his 11 year old owner) etc.
My photos are too big to post so here is a link to the dragon on photobucket.
