Jolie, my bearded dragon...a bit of a progression thread (LOTS of photos!)

I really feel for Lizzy...I hope that there is some hope for her, poor girl.
Jolie is just a pretty dragon...once I said to someone who is a bit of a breeder, "I just call her orange..." Little did I know that, I guess, there is an "Orange" morph, too! He wanted to know her lineage to be able to be called that...I said, "No, I meant as in Crayola...not morph."
Ah well! My vet said that her coloring is of a sandfire, but I know nothing of her parentage to justify that. I just call her pretty...Here is where she looked her most orange, when she's gotten lots of good vitamins & natural sunlight on a hot day, last Oct (this is very true-to-life coloring, as well, based on everything around her):
(She was watching planes fly overhead, as I live near Midway, and she thinks that they're coming for her...as for real birds, she could care less, but those big silver birds really freak her out...
)Thanks! :wavey:

Thank you!
Jolie and I have had a few ups & downs; she was very ill last summer (she was in the midst of treatment when the last couple of photos had been taken). Something was blocking her internally & she refused to eat...and I didn't know if it was all because 1) I just moved, 2) the weather was funky (she's very sensitive to changes in the weather!) or 3) sick. After a few expensive vet visits (though seeing her x-ray was wicked cool!) & feeding her baby food all winter, she's finally back to normal...and she doesn't fit the "regular" behavior of bearded dragons. She didn't brumate -- didn't want to at all! -- and her poop schedule is really all her own, no matter how much she eats. She's definitely been a learning experience! Thank you!
As much as I love adding corn snakes to my collection, I'm quite content at being a one-beardie household. Babies are terribly adorable & I love holding them at expos, but I won't get another for a long, loooooooooooooong while. (I just think back to having to stock up on 1000 pinhead crickets at a 2-weeks' time & what a pain that was! The one adult cricket that got away & got stuck in my apt's wall -- and made it's presence known at 2 am??? Oy! Thank God that roaches don't bite like supers & don't make noise like crickets!!!) Because of Jolie, I also have my own roach colony...definitely saves on the food budget!Thank you! Jolie completely agrees with you, too.

No problem at all, no offense taken at all.
I may not have a mom lording over me, but I *DO* have a boyfriend & a budget lording over me!
So, pretty much the same type of pressure... Hmmm...if I were you, I'd go the leopard gecko route first, and I'd get an adult...my girls are exceptionally lazy, so they don't hunt: they have demitasse saucers (tiny teacup-sized saucers) so their mealworms can't crawl out -- though they do -- and they can see what's going on...it works. Apparently, the geckos of others will actually hunt -- but mine? No way. One will bite the other, but that's about the only time I see her move any shade of fast! Lazy, cute butts. I tried crickets -- too fast...superworms? Too big, too messy, too bitey...mealworms seem to work best. Calcium supplement, UTH, at least a 15-gallon tank, warm/moist hide, cool hide, paper towel substrate (because I'm too much of a wuss to do anything else, and my vet deems it "boring, but safe!")...that's about it. Maybe a something or two to climb over (a log or rock), not a big deal...quite charming little creatures. Wait & see what you can find at NARBC in Oct...

Sorry, didn't get your message 'til now, and get this: I actually have homework to do...and of course, I procrastinated because it's due TOMORROW!
Anyway, I went to chat, and I was the only one there, so it was a bit lonely talking to myself...do you have Yahoo messenger? I'm deesse1509 on it...and I'll leave it open/on... I'm going to go to a yoga class in a bit, too, but tonight, between you & my homework, I'll manage.
