Beardie Pics Here with thanks

Hey guys.
After a lot of trawling on these forums, gathering information. I finally got a pair of baby dragons.

So happy with them.
I've already noticed one (maybe both) arm wave at me. First time was when I got changed for work in my pitch black pants and shirt. Second time was this morning from one of them on the drift wood. I've also witnessed them asleep on top of each other on the wood one night, and another night one was propped standing up against the glass. So much character in these guys!

And now for the pics.
Here's "Low Spot" showing his darker and lighter colours:



"High Spot" looking all bright-like


Their favourite basking spot - a roof tile from out the back. They can still fit underneath to chase after crickets that escape.


And a full shot of their home - the paper around the otuside is to stop them from chasing their reflection


Many thanks for the following "suppliers":

Drift wood by falconboy
4ft tank by Rupes
MicroClimate B1 by nightowl
Fluon AD1 by Leigh
Silkworms by SilkWormCity

And of course the dragons came from the lovely Jenny

Many thanks to all the guys that helped me to get set up.
Please leave comments and feedback.


For those interested the basking light is a Philips 100W Spot globe on a dimming thermostat. It comes on from 9am to 9pm. Above is a double 4ft fluoro with a standard white tube and an NEC Blacklight UV. It comes on at 10am, and goes off at 8pm.

Temperature directly below the lamp is hovering around 35C, with the cool end at room temp.

These guys are just on 2inches (5cm SVL).
