yay! another new baby!

hola mis amigos just went to the west palm show and got a new leo and a new baby beardie! the guy who handled the transaction didnt know much about the beardies, only told me they were gold and a couple weeks old. he/she is so tiny, only 5 inches in total and 2.5 snout to vent. but unlike my first baby, she looooves being held.

is there anything about such tiny beardies i should know that i might not already? i knwo the usual, crix no bigger than the space between the eyes, basking spot a little warmer than for my older dragons, frequent feedings. but im afraid i might be missing something specific to such a tiny little thing

pix to come as soon as i figure out whats wrong with my camera!

Just watch hydration the first week and don;t be surprised if she does not eat well that week also, sometimes they are too excited and need time to adjust.

so far ive been amazed by how calm she seems. nice white belly and all i havent tried to feed her yet; her new home will get all set up tomorrow. i expect to have a bit of a challenge starting her on greens. but i will defientely make a point to give her plenty of water (can you tell im hoping its a female so i have a nice 1.2 trio? hehe)
