1-lowest, 10-highest

Bubbles- 3 year old female BD
#1tameness - 10 - she's so docile and trusting of people she's safe even for young children to interact with. I use her for educational demonstrations on reptiles for local elementary schools. And scary thing is I think she actually enjoys all the attention the kids give her.

#2coolness - 10 - I don't really know what is meant by "coolness". I figured it doesn't mean how many friends they have. But she's pretty popular. All my coworkers at the pet store know her by name. She gets to go shopping for her own decorations. She even won over the heart of the pet photographer on sunday.

#3money costs - 8 - I'd have to say they aren't cheep. Between yearly vet exams, crickets, greens, electricity bills, lighting and time spent... they're kinda spendy. But Bubbles is the best $50 I've ever spent. And any $$ I spend on her is worth is. I actually kinda go above and beyond with her cos she's extremely spoiled, but she earned it.

#appatite - 10 - Appetite... She can eat. I actually ahve to regulate how much I let her eat cos she has in the past eaten too much too fast when it comes to crickets or super worms and has caused herself to vomit.

#5energy - 2 - she's really lazy... period.

#6 overall (rate yr BD overall) - 9.99999 - she's awesome. But sometimes she poops in gross places like the time she pooped on my chem book. I bet the book store loved that I sold that book back too.

Suds - 1.75 year old Male snow BD
#1tameness - 8 - he's fine with just me, but he's kinda nervious about new people or situations so I don't 100% trust him in those. But he tollerates everything I do to him and he loves having his tummy rubbed.

#2coolness - 8 - Suds is a big dork. Plain and simple. He's sweet, but he's just kind of a dink. He thinks he's really cool tho. He jsut does so many weird things... like the time he ate the corn starch packing peanut and nearly gave me a heart attack. Or the time he ate all the raisens that were for my parrot. Or when he tried to court my turtles from outside their tank.

#3money costs - 9 - He's got his battle scars, from being stupid and trying to pick fights with dragons 2X his size. Most of them are from before I had him. But he's been the vet plenty. And he's had regular fecals and stuff to deal with too. Plus you gotta feed him and spoil him too.

#appatite - 8 - He's not as ravenous as he was when he was younger. But he's got a good appetite and he puts down a good number of crickets and super worms. He likes his greens. He actually likes lots of different foods and likes to try "new" things. The other day he tried banana for the first time. He loves it until he got banana all over his face and he HATES having a dirty face... so he freaked out.

#5energy - 12 - He's a wild man.

#6 overall (rate yr BD overall) - 9.75 - he's cool, but not as cool as his girl friend. Sorry pal, it's true. But I wouldn't trade him for the world. He makes me laugh.
----------------

Tamness - 6 he only hisses ocasionoly, he wanders around my desk, will squirm when I try to pick him up.

Coolness - 8 He's pretty cool, I love him to death most of the time he hangs out on a pillow I have on my desk that is under a heat lamp, ocasinolly he will take a stroll around my desk to find stuff to knock off and eat.

Money - 9 75$ worth every penny

Apetite - 9 look at him the porker, he eats anything, even stuff I don't want him to.

Energy - 4 I have a lazy dragon he sits on his pillow most of the day, when I put him on the floor so he can explore he usually takes a quick lap around my room before finding a spot to nap.

Overall 10 wouldent give him up for the world

Carrick

tameness 10- always happy to be around with us, loves car rides and working out in the garden with me =)

coolness 10- absolutly amoung the most amazing and cool animals i have raised and cared for, never ceases to draw attention to himself wherever we go. He put on quite the show at the local reptile store on the weekend, drew quite the crowd, ceritanly Carrick Bug thinks hes pretty cool =P

money costs 6- keeping my kids in food is rather costly being that they are fed a wide array of things such as butterworms, silkworms, supers and all kinds of other goodies, i raise my own veggies which keeps costs down, but them bugs can get costly.
I own parrots, so really, comparing to them, my dragons are cheap to keep.

appetite 10- huge... carrick has a HUGE appetite, ravenous nibbler.......

energy 10-especially when he gets to see Gobi, he digs her...but hes not the lazy type, hes laid back, very calm, but loves to explore the house and check out the sights in the garden etc.

overall..Carrick is a 10+ in my book, hes an awesome kid.

Gobi

tameness 8- she tends to be a bit more independent then carrick, however she doesnt bite, hiss or run away, she just likes to jet about the house rather then have a sit on your knee at night and watch TV, shes much more of an explorer then carrick and is always on the move. She just seems to be a tad more timid but shes just the sweetest girl.

coolness 10- Gobi is a super cool girl all dressed in her yellow scales, shes a beautiful girl, probably her best asset is her eyes, she has the most expressive eyes.

appeite 6- she doesnt have as huge an appetite as carrick although she still eats well and loves her greens, she doesnt charge the feeding tongs like the ravenous nibbler, shes much more of a lady when it comes to feeding time =)

overall 10+ - Gobi is a great dragon and we are so happy to have her, shes sweet and beautiful and full of so much character, always a pleasure =)
