thanks for the compliments
Sandy was an opportunistic end-of-the-day purchase at the Hamburg expo a couple of years back
being that she was the last the vendor had, and I ended up getting her for only $50, I've sometimes wondered what the others looked like
when I got her, she didn't have nearly this much colour either - just a bit of orange around the face and neck, and otherwise just sandy coloured

the girl is my daughter Mikhaila, and thanks - she looks nearly as good as a beardie, but she talks, and sings, and free ranges, and the maintenance costs are quite a bit higher

Sandy is awesome. I dont know much about bearded dragons so ... How big do they get.

[RedSidedSPR]

Around 2 feet... sometimes smaller, sometimes bigger.

Cool and with out buying them from the store are they easy to catch and where can they be found? I had an iguana when I lived in Cali that was about 5.5 foot including the tail. It was funny cause I had a roomie at that time that I couldnt stand and obvisly(sorry, spelling?) my iguana knew that cause he would sit on my lamp when she was around and she didnt like him either. It was awesome cause everytime he was on my lap she never talked to me and I loved that...lol

[RedSidedSPR]

Sure they aret hard to find. Just go to Australia and they're everywhere.

[Mrs N1ntndo]

Ya right .... I wish I could go there. I have always wanted to visit. thanks though...lol

Our resident old man, Chance, affectionately known as fuzz butt has been declining rapidly lately. I gave him a bath today and the deterioration in his body condition was a bit startling. I knew he was losing muscle tone in his rear. I didn't realize he was losing muscle tone everywhere. When we adopted him 13 and a half years ago he was skin and bones. I was shocked to see that he's in nearly the same condition now, despite quality food and care It's been a rough day here, to say the least. The vet didn't help matters with a $340 quote for euthanasia. I've got calls in to other places as that just seems ridiculous to me. I paid $150 3 years ago to help a great dane pass and even that seemed like a lot for the services provided. yeah, my day sucks... no real need to respond. Just needed to vent a bit. I'm waiting til this weekend to tell the kiddo who is away at college(he was in kindergarten when we got Chance) so there's really no where to vent right now and I'm pretty down. Thanks for listening. Here's the sweet boy a few years ago...

Old dogs are awesome.
Best of luck with fuzz butt. Brings back memories of my girl Ally.
I don't envy this time in your life.
You and Chance are in my prayers.
