Thank you! I have no idea what his color will be when he's an adult, but it will apparently involve some orange.

he is absolutly stunning, and sooooo tiny!

I doubt if any of you brits have seen it, but there's a cartoon called "Home Movies". There's a character on that called "Jason". I guess he's named after that character, but really I just thought it sounded so human that it was funny. He's a very interactive little guy, almost like a person.

Jason looks great Scott I bet you can't wait to see what he looks like when he's older.

Yeah, I'm excited about him, but to be honest, he scares me a little. I guess I'm paranoid from the first one. I've never had any problems keeping reptiles alive, even when I was 10 years old, but that first beardie just died. I realize now, by comparing its behavior to Jason's, that it was already sick when I got it, but it's still stressful. I'll be glad when he gets a little bigger.

Poki has done great from day one, by the way. She eats great and seems to have a slow, steady growth. She's easier on my nerves.

My OH has just got a beardie too, i absolutely love them! Like you have said, they are so full of character and love human contact! The perfect pet, apart from feeding the locusts, yukkkk....

My bf's is called Rosalita!!! Rosie for short. My bf is half Spanish, so thats how this name came about!

Jason is absolutely beautiful!

Scott, I feel the same after our first one started to get sick, I felt terrible didn't know what to do, I thought it was our fault but like you, looking at the second one I now know he was sick from the time we got him, this one is really lively and loves to eat. The other one didn't die with me, but i'm sure he has he was that bad

Let's hope these guy's do well Looking forward to watching him grow were already choosing his big tank

If you think locusts are bad you should try some of my feeders. I have a dubia roach colony. I never thought I'd see the day that I purposefully bred roaches.

Yeah, me too. I'm making plans to build a 4'X2'x2' enclosure. I think I'm going to make three of the walls into "rock walls". Making reptile cages is almost as fun as having them!
