Cuteness on steroids. Are they all related to each other?

[Zoodulcis]

Oh, she is plainly enjoying that! Now you have to teach her what it means when you say ‘Go for ride’! Some beardie owners take their guys for a drive and then into a store for ohs and ahhs from other shoppers. Do you ever do that?

[Zoodulcis]

Yeah, that is pretty much the stink eye. Nice enclosure she has there, so maybe she just doesn’t ever want to leave it. How old is she and how long have you had her?

[Zoodulcis]

Go Chessie Go! Go, Fight, Win! Yeah Chessie!!

Funny you should mention her love of the dash board. At least 3 other forum members have posted photos of their beardies on the dashboard. Those photos are more common in spring and summer, as you can imagine!

[Zoodulcis]

Gosh she looks like she should be starring in a Japanese monster movie. She sure has predator game face on. How old is she?

[Zoodulcis]

That is really interesting about the water bowls and the animal rights people. I have found young animal rights activists from urban settings to be some of the most sincere and incredibly ignorant people on the planet.

I may refer other forum members to your response if they seem confused about how to proceed with humidity.

Happy Bath-times!

I figured she didn’t actually like back bees. But it was a fun comment to be able to make. I’m sure Grandma dragon protector is nervous but accepting. I can relate.

But what’s this about brumation and water bowls and bathing and such?! This sounds to me like very valuable information. Would you recommend bathing a brumating dragon once per month and then dispensing with the water bowls or other ways to increase humidity? Have you done this for a few years with good results? If so, I think that is very valuable information to have. Please comment.

She is in brumation. There is no need to wake her up. When the time is right she will know what to do and then she will be ravenous. Right now her metabolic needs are a fraction of their summertime needs. You probably miss her antics, but March is a fine time to encourage her to rouse, while now is a bit early and waking her messes with her internal biological clock.

[Zoodulcis]

Oh wait….just kidding! I do eat black bees. Chomp. Slurp, Ahhh…

[Zoodulcis]

Sounds like a pretty wise policy. What are the biggest mistakes that 1st-time owner’s make, in your opinion? My thought is that they think they are maintenance-free (haha). What are your thoughts on that?

[Zoodulcis]

Oh that’s right. Since it was not part of this thread and I respond to so many forum members I forgot. A couple of rescue related questions, if you don’t mind. Do you rescue and rehome any of your dragons? If so, how do you advertise and how do you choose a good fit between the adoptor and the adoptee?

[Zoodulcis]

It seems as though she is really friendly and relaxed. Have you had her all her life?

[Zoodulcis]

This pale color is often pretty pricey. Is she a rescue?

[Zoodulcis]

Oh now that is brilliant! I have seen so many forum members ‘rescue’ an animal from a pet store by paying full price for it that I have become alarmed at this mentality. In your case, you have the system beat, and that is wonderful.
