Hey! Cayenne never got to play this game because mommy was slow getting batteries for the camera.
He would like to play the game again because he felt left out and he is so proud of the trophy he won at the Tampa show he insisted on posing with it.

Here is a close up with his ribbon.

He is beautiful and deserves to post two pictures! What are is bloodlines? He looks a lot like my Herbie, who is from Mystical Dragons. Congrats on the trophy!

Foster x Candy How old is Herbie? Maybe they were clutch mates.
Cayenne is a daddy now. He sired two clutches of 25 babies with my sandfire x snow female. Here is her picture.
The babies are really colorful already. I am trying to keep the colors light and bright and keep out the grey tones but i wanted to use a different bloodline to keep them big and hearty.
She is from Dragons 4 You. Her name is Ginger.

You guys all have awesome dragons!
This is my female, Feng-Shou.

Her eyes look dark like the transparents. They get really vibrant colors on them too.

Here is my baby girl Athena

Rebel, my bearded dragon has been confirmed as a female. We all thought she was male Athena is PREGNATE!!!

Herbie was hatched the end of May 2004. Here is his picture and a picture of Tiger Lily, the female I paired him with. I am expecting the first clutch to hatch the first part of August. Congrats on your babies.

I purchased her from Jen at Kakadu in April, but she was bred by Hector at Spud's Dragons from his breeders with Dachiu lines. Jen sold her to me because I had been looking for a female to pair with Herbie this year since last September. Jen gave me a very fair price for her plus she gets the pick of the clutch. She weighed about 520 grams when I bred her with Herbie and she gets up to about 600 grams right before she lays. I can't wait to see what their offspring looks like.

Always good to see some babies you produce obviously getting cared for so well, and looking so healthy and bright. You two are doing a great job with them. Please share pics of their babies when you get a chance. I would love to see how they turn out this season. Herbie is my beardeddragon.org calander centerfold, and Cayenne my first place trophy winner Gotta love them!!

Actually I am not quite sure if it is a boy or girl yet.
They are 6 weeks old now and this one just went through his/her second shed a few minutes ago.
All the rest are in full shed.

This is Merlin, a brother to the other ones. Here he was 9 months old, just getting ready to go over 600 grams- 24 inches. Merlin never has a bad color day, its bright orange to brickred and he is the happiest dragon I have ever had.

He is even orange on his chest and tummy!

I need to get some current photo's of him now that he is an old man of 1 year

Thanks for posting a pic Cheri. Merlin is HUGE!! Great to see some of them catching up on big daddy Foster. I just had a clutch of Foster babies hatch I paired him with a real nice light colored Hypo Orange-Pastel. they should be nice light orange-peachy dragons. Only 1 clutch from the big guy this season, but plenty from his son Sobek.

Sobek, Myst, Gwen, Willie, and Einstein. Clutch mates to Herbie, Merlin, and Cayenne





Last but not least is my Einstien. Einstien is my 22 inch runt-slow grower of the clutch LOL Very proud of Einstein at one time I thought he would not survive. He grew slower, but steady, and was half the size of his siblings at 12 weeks of age.

Hope u enjoy the pics

Just awesome Matthew, Foster and Candy were certainly a good pairing!

I think Merlin will end up close to Foster in size he is still growing, what is most amazing is not just their cloros. Merlin is the most calm draqon... nothing bothers him.

Good breeding/good genetics and all their needs meet form even before they hatch... shows

He is always calm. Nothing bothers him. He is not easily frightened. I take him for car rides when I am not the driver i sit him on my arm and he loves looking out the window.
He never goes dark for even a minute. He is always the bright neon orange. He never even switches to darker orange.
I am convinced the temperament is from lots of early handling.
Ginger is a bit temperamental but I got her a bit older.
Matt handles them often and so do I. All of Cayennes siblings already have his nice personality because I love the babies and handle and play with them all the time. At six weeks they are often hand fed so they love people because they know they get treats.

anyone else keep these? If so post your pics.

Hey Matthew! Stevie is huge! I don't think his eyesight problem has affected his growth rate at all! The little stinker is gunna eat us out of our house. LOL

These two photos were taken 2 weeks ago. And his tail was going into shed when I took them.

For those of you who don't know about Stevie, Matthew sent Stevie to come and live with us when he found out that Stevie couldn't see like the other dragons. He has trouble focusing in on live, moving prey, and he used to have problems finding his way around his enclosure. Stevie is now in his permanent enclosure, and we have no plans to relocate him. Moving him to another home would be like taking a blind man out of his home and expecting him to learn his way around a strange house. Although Stevie isn't blind, he really doesn't see well. He's been in his permanent enclosure for a few months now and he knows every square inch of it. Getting around, even up to the second level, is no problem for him.

I have adapted to Stevie's special needs and he and I have a, well, an understanding, you could call it. You see, whenever Stevie saw my hand, all he saw was movement and he went after it. He would try to eat my hand! He didn't know any better. Now, with a little training, things are different. Believe it or not, when I touch Stevie's mouth, he knows that I have something for him to eat and he will either try to bite at what I have in my hand or he will open his mouth slightly so I can place it on his lips. Usually it's his favorite, silkworms. But when it's bath time, or just time to come out and play, or for me to clean his cage, I gently slide my hand under his belly and get him out. And he never even tries to bite my hand.

Pretty cool little guy huh? Thanks again Matthew for sending him to us!

Hugs,
Veronica

Veronica,

That is a great story, I love to hear things like this. We have a Lawson Dragon that has eye sight problems, he could see or know there is something there to eat, but when he tried for it he missed and he would wave his head back and forth til I thought he would knock himself out trying to focus on it.

He came to us at 7 months old and only weighting 14 grams, today he is 2 years old and weights 107 grams. We worked on strenghten his eye muscles and teaching him my fingers were not food, but what is at the end of them is... LOL it was close a few times, but he learned. I named him Richard after Richard Wells who was one of the men that named them p. henrylawsonii

We also learned that he can not see brown, tan, yellow.. he can see some green and red, but what he sees best is white. He will never see or eat a normal superworm in his bowl, but from far away he can spot a fresh shed one and dives for it with success now!!!

Veronica thanks so much for sharing an up to date pic of LiL Stevie He's not so Lil anymore is he LOL. Stevie is definitely one of the happy endings of last season. I really couldn't have asked for a more perfect home, and care taker for my special boy. I had you in mind from the first day I realized LiL Stevie was going to need some extra love, and patience. I'm happy he has such wonderful care, and so glad he is doing so well for you there. I'm just about all healed up from my many attempts at hand feeding
