I recently 'pimped' out my male bluestar collared to someone I met at a reptile show this past month. We're hoping that he'll breed with one or more of his females. It would be great if they mate as no one in Canada is breeding collareds, not to mention bluestars.

Since I'm without my collared I 'adopted' (okay, bought - don't tell my wife) a baby bearded dragon. She's an Orange Crush/German Giant X Snow cross. She should be nice and colourful, yet muted in a pastel way, when she grows up. She's currently 13cm long and 6 grams. Can't wait to see her growth spurt over the next six months. She's currently eating 30 to 40 1/4" crickets a day and a few greens and fruits on the side. I've added a couple of pictures below.

I'll keep everyone updated on the breeding of my male bluestar, and drop by to look at all the great pictures while I go through collared withdrawl.

oh i am sorry that you are going through collared withdrawal, but at least it is for a good cause, right i had to go without my lizards for a few weeks one time and i became irritable and was seriously on the verge of purchasing one to get my reptile fix. well congrats on the new bd and i hope everything goes well with the "pimping"

Thanks Eve. Her name is 'Munchkin'. My wife named her.

I see your babies are laying eggs. Best of luck with them! Hopefully I'll have some baby collareds in the coming months as well.

I found some old pictures I posted on the web a few years back of my bluestar. Link is below.

When I was on vacation up in Alaska, I started missing my babies too. I didn't give in on a frilled or bearded dragon though. I hope your bluestar achieves Darwinian fitness.
