We are getting our baby dragon tomorrow

[crazydazy]

Our hamster died a few weeks ago and now DP and DD between them decided that instead of getting another hamster they wanted to go for something different so we are getting a bloody lizard.

I wasn't happy about it to begin with but after reading about their temperament etc and then going to the pet shop today and holding a three week old baby bearded dragon they have now managed to persuade me.

Its kind of a father's day present too as DP said he has always fancied keeping one.

ROFL!

I hope no one thinks I really have sold BabyDragon at last! :o

[charliecat]

LOL, what sort of care do they need?

[SoupDragon]

Clearly you've not been reading about their temperament on Mumsnet or you'd never have gone for one...

Ooops sorry Soupdragon, have just remembered thats what you call your baby.

We are calling it Lennie because when they are babies its impossible to tell whether its male or female so believed that suited both.
