Well i'm gettin my first beardie on the 10th. I have it on lay-away at my local pet store until i get back from vacation which is the 10th. I think it is a female. She has a good bit of orange on her head. She is somewhere between 4 to 6 inches long and looks healthy. They have their beardies on calci-sand at the pet shop, which i dont like. But she's been on it since she was a hatchling and is doing fine. She isnt a hatchling anymore. But i am not putting her on calci-sand. I cant wait!!
