Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am fairly new to this site and I was just wondering...do you breed and sell? I saw you lived in Sarasota, I am in Manatee County. I can also tell that many of the people on here seem to think highly of you. It would be nice to find a local breeder that is trusted. TIA for your time!

HA, or hate me

Yes, we breed/sell bearded dragons, none right now as most the adults are sleeping and the others are busy pigging out trying to pass the adults in size!

We do not sell online, but do locally and through friends. We also place Rehab dragons in homes once they are in good condition, five went out last month and I am working with a few now.

Your welcome to come by anytime and see our set ups and whats going on.... be careful, I often put people to work or at least have their hands full.... we have some very attention seeking dragons.

You can clink on my nick on the posted by: and an email will come to me.

OMG, that is the sweetest baby face I have ever seen!!! LOL I think you need to send her back

Will let you know of the babies, Zooki is the one that injured his back running into the sofa this year trying to impress the girls, but he is fairly recovered and when he saw the girls last week he about leaped out of my hands and if we had not grabbed him he would have been in their enclosure... so I do not think he has a problem there

They and brother Cammy and Sister Bean came from the same person to us in July '03 as non thrivers. When they arrived they were:

They had hatch late November 02 so where 8 months old and had not hardly moved in weight or growth from April '03. These dragons had good care from where they came from, they were not abused or neglected, just not growing and small eaters.

July '03
Bean: 1grams - 5"
Spud: 5grams - 7"
Sissy: 15grams - 8 1/4"
Cammie: 25grams - 9 1/2"

We got them all growing, eating much better and they took off like crazy in weight and lenght. Although small dragons as adults, they have come a long way and they have BIG personalities and love people.

Three were many more in that clutch, but the others did fine at 7-8 months being 15-17 inches and good weight and all these had good care from hatcling on, just not growing, so we agreed to take these four and see what we could do

I usually only do 4 rehabs at a time as they take so much work and sometimes medical expenses. A few days after these four came, we got another call on four in that needed care badly, so I had 8 at the same time and the other four needed medical care and close monitoring. I know other rescues and Jane at Mid Michigan Herp had some standing request for bearded dragons and none at the time so she took the others from this clutch and we passed them to her in Daytona.

She placed Cammie with an older couple and the other one went to a young man I beleive, I trust her, she screens every well and I knew they were healthy and appears the growing issue was kick started and working. AS far as far as I know the others fromt he same cluctch are doing fine.

From the other group of four, the 2 year old girl was kept by Jane as a family pet, the 2 year old boy when to a mom and dad who's children were all grown, the 1 year old female we named Pineapple and she was adopted locally so I get to see her often and her sister when to Grimdog in MA. Unfortuantely that placement did not work for personal reason and I believe she was sold to someone by his wife Kelly or at least she was advertized for sale. I tried to buy her and another one that came from us back, but never heard back from Kelly.

Of all the rehab or rescues we have placed, they are all in the placement home still and the new owners complying with agreement of placing, but for Pineapple's sister.

I had a few go out last month that had been here for several months, so for the a short time I had none. Then last week got four more in that were not thriving well.

One of the ones that went to a new home was Pineapple locally placed, Shelia who was an impacted baby from a pet store call/ pick up, and Rex, a 4 year old male.

Shelia is with a teacher now about an hour away, it her pictured with Zooki on the thread above

Rex was placed with a Vet Neurologist assistant's brother. He had lost his 3 year old male to leukemia recently and Rex was abandoned on someone's porch... I can not tell you how well those two clicked when they met, it was a wonderful match, Rex needed someone who cared and the young man that came for him needed someone to help him over the hurt of losing a dragon after a long illness. Rex got an experienced owner that obviously already cared about bearded dragons and the new owner got somewhere to channel all that knowledge and care. I never saw a dragon and a person so taken with each other, you could see the bond there in only a few minutes! Rex simple did not want to leave him for a minute. I just heard about him again yesterday and they are both doing great and happy. Rex has the run of the house a lot and watches TV with him from the back of the couch and has a window seat to look out of and watch the world and pounce of sunbeams

I just got a new scale that is much more accurate over 250 grams. Spud is only 14" long and she hasn't really grown much in length, but she has made up for it in girth! (She is 268 grams.)

Great job with those rescues! I raise orphan kittens, so I know how important it is to place them with good homes after they have had such a rough start! You do not have to worry about Spud. She will NEVER leave me. She is my little spitfire. She waves back at me whenever I wave at her!

Hey Stacey great to see that spud has grown so much. Just stopped in after spending some time away from the forums. I am glad that she is doing so well. She is very adorable, I am glad that you got her in the end. She is a great dragon.

Peace
Derek

I know it was hard for you to give her up, but I really do adore her! Thank you!
How have you been man? Don't be such a stranger! I just came back recently myself.

Stacey

I have been good. Just moved recently, living on my own, well actually I rent a place from my best friend. It is the best of both worlds one minute it is like living with best friend. Next we can go our sperate ways and it is like having an apartment to yourself. He is also cool because I can get whatever I want. May be time for another chondro and maybe a beardie. Although I do sort of have one it stays at my mom's. My mom, sis, and niece all love it so it got to stay with them.

Hi Derek, good to see you post and I hope all is well with you!

I believe I might know the dragon that went to the young man. I think my best friend's son adopted her, and she's a beloved family pet at my friend's house. She's very well cared for, adored, and quite spunky!
