We got little
Beardy in June of 2005. She was born on Mother's Day and was given to Jasper as part of a deal. Jasper had to pick his clothes up for 30 days and if he did it he would get a lizard. We chose a bearded dragon because they don't live in a wet environment, they are not nocturnal, and they only live for 8 years.
DaDa wanted an iguana as a familiar because his band in college was called Night of the Iguana. But, Iguana's grow very large and live for decades. The female
component of our home was not amused and the lizard became sole responsibility of the boys in the house. As you can see from the pictures
Beardy started out small and has become quite a BIG and beautiful lizard. She used to eat so much, two live mice and 10 silk worms in one sitting. Now in her young adult life she spends more time chilling out than eating.
Silas says: Beardy puffs up her chin but we do not see it too much (see picture). Beardy has a cool cage and the cage looks cool with all of Beardy's stuff in it and with Beardy in it.
Jasper says: Beardy used to be cute, but now she is as big as my arm.

Beardy is quite a gal. Bon Voyage to Korea. Happy Easter. Did everyone in Blogland know that Charlie worked as THE EASTER BUNNY while in High School? Yep, it's true.
