New Beardie

Just brought home the newest member of my collection (proof that you cant just stop at one reptile). A male pogona vitticeps who I am naming
Malys after a dragon from the Dragonlance series. He is already eating from my hand - way too cool.

Congrats Derek, sounds like fun, im looking for some myself here in syd at the moment, so far no luck. how old/big is yours?

[dhanson]

he is 10 inches (16cm) snout to tip of tail. Coolest thing about Malys is that my wife thinks he is cute and thinks his behaviour is interesting. She doesnt really care for my snakes ( bredl's)

[westhamsc]

where did you get him from mate?

[dhanson]

I hate to say it, but a petstore. A very good reptile store in my opinion. Knowlegeable and very well kept reptiles. And very close to my house.

And this pet store would go by the name of?

You should have a chat with Neven, before you buy your next lot! He breeds them and would probably sell them to you for less than the pet shop! He lives in Melbourne too. ;-)

Amazing Amazon is the petstore. I did speak to Neven but he only had hatchlings , I was looking for something a little older.

Congratulations Derek. When Judy read the name to me I had presumed that it was one of the "Seven Deadly Sins' ... but the spelling is quite different ;-)

I look forward to coming around and meeting him!

The 'Feng Shuied' garage looks fantastic!!! It is a bit of a shock!
