Today my lizards learnt to jump up for their food and the cricket doesn't even need to be alive... they'll just eat it dead. This would help them to build their muscles up so they are nice and healthy and strong when they get older. And now their bellies are full. I accidentally got some crickets that were too big and so had to squish them.

I promised I would have some photos and a video of the lizards being hand fed and now here is a video and some photos.

This morning I spilt calcium powder on the table trying to get a little bit into the jar and I spilt it everywhere and got too much in the jar. And then I tipped it all over the log and sprayed it so it went hard so they couldn't lap it up (which would be bad for them).

And now the lizards are doing well... they're both eating and I've been able to hand feed them. All I do is pick up a cricket and then I just gently move it onto their chin and let the antenna move and then they just bite it out of my hand... if a little bit is left then they just lick it off my hand - I'll try to get some photos of this for tomorrow.

And this morning when I picked them up after feeding them their belly's, which you would normally be able to gently move in, were hard to move in because they were full of crickets.

I burnt their food!

Today, I put the food for the lizards in the microwave for too long and the plate exploded and it burnt the food and the microwave is highly damaged. Now I have to put the food in the sun to defrost.

Introductory video

Here is an introduction to the dragons

In the morning today I got up and fed the dragons crickets and about an hour after feeding them the one that I thought was a girl regurgitated a cricket because it was too cold because the light wasn't pointing down... it needed heat on its belly because it couldn't digest it.

I have Bearded Dragons

I got my bearded dragons yesterday. They are Inland Bearded Dragons (pagona vitticeps). On the way home the way that I think is a female kept bonking its nose on the roof of the small container.

When we set them up and we tried to spray them... the spray bottle didn't work, so we'll have to buy a new one.

Here are some photos of them.
