Nice beardie, what's your setup like? I've got a GGxTri-color (or so the breeder said, looks pure tri-color to me)

I adore the crestie licking his eye!

that is one wicked gecko. Looks like a mythical dragon. Always funny to see them lick their own eyeballs. :)

The bearded dragon is beautiful as well.

Right now we have our baby beardie in a tiled 75 gal, but we are going to be upgrading later to a 100gal+. He's also a German Giant, according to the breeder GGxExtreme Red and although he IS showing very strong almost blood red color Im not too sure about it, hopfully it will develop as he grows. The picture doesnt do him too much justice either as he's going through a shed at the moment...but he was my only model since my gecko was sleeping. haha we also have a 3 year old female who is being housed in a 100gal, but she doesnt fit in the light box. xD

Thank you! lol. Yeah, Oni was a great model, I loved that I caught him lickin his eye.

Beardies can take up to three years to fully color out, and even then their shades can change depending on stress/mood/environment. Be sure he has plenty of spaces to hide as babies and juvies have been known to freak out in larger tanks (but i am glad to see someone planning for the future)

Lucky, I haven't found a vet I really trust since the one I worked for retired. :-(

I tried one, took my first beardie to him, and a week later he died, so I have trust issues with vets.

Yeah I know how that is, we have been through quite a few vets but were lucky enough to find a good one.

We had rescued an old beardie about 8-9 months ago, he was skin and bones and caked in mud when we got him; we did manage to clean him up and put a good amount of weight back on him. He was being monitored by our vet and on antibiotics to fight a bad infection do to a very old jaw injury which was also causing one of his eyes to swell. We were going to have part of his jaw removed as well has the swollen eye since nothing could be done to fix it, but unfourtunently the infection wasnt getting any better, then his other eye started to swell...we didnt want him to suffer and made the decision to have him put down. :( Im just glad we were able to give him a loving home and the veteranary attention he needed to at least be more comfortable than he would have been had no one taking him in.
