Bearded dragon needing a new home

ladysavage · 10th October 2009, 9:17am

This is Thorn, our male bearded dragon, he's 2-3 years old (we're not totally sure to be honest) and he's after a new home as we're gonna be moving house soon and can't show our place to prospective buyer with a tiny dinosaur in there!

He'll come free with his viv and all the other bits and bobs and he's a very nice pet but he will need an experienced owner/ someone prepared to learn how to care for him properly.

As you can see he loves tomatoes but also likes his veggies and devours live food such as crickets, locusts and mealworms, which are a bit minging but hey you're not eating them!

If you're interested let me know, i can try and drop him off for you but i'd prefer it if you could collect him from my house

Is this just a loan until you get your new place or for keeps?

ladysavage · 10th October 2009, 11:16am

no he'll be for keeps, i don't know how long it'll take for us to move and it'd be unfair to keep uprooting the wee fella

Hmmm. If I was working I'd well have it. Used to keep terrapins and miss having a reptile around the place

Dave doesn't count

ladysavage · 10th October 2009, 11:20am

well i'm not looking for any cash for him, just want to know he'll be well looked after!

¡Punk! · 10th October 2009, 11:21am

Yeah but if I aint working I can't really afford food or the electricty for his heating/lighting.

I am sorely tempted however.

Mick. No.

(How much does he remind you of the wee dinosaur in The Land Before Time though?

)

He's a belter

I don't really get how you can't have him in the house while showing prospective buyers though?

Why not?

He can live in my bedroom

I have a female leopard gecko, Donnie (she is about 18) and if I knew they'd be ok together, I'd love to integrate them but im pretty sure any large enough dragon would just eat her.

It's a shame, he is stunning and I'd love to take him, just a pity I dont have the space to run two vivs in my room.

What are the size specs of the viv, out of curiosity?

same, i'm pretty sure viewers would understand that he's a pet, not an infestation!

gimme 5 and i'll make a quick call see if i can take him.

*edit* what size is the viv?

ladysavage · 10th October 2009, 1:34pm

i know but the estate agent has advised it

karbon14 · 10th October 2009, 1:35pm

provided it's not massivley too big for my room i'll take him if that's good with you.

ladysavage · 10th October 2009, 1:40pm

cool, you able to pick him up? If not i should be able to persuade da husband to bring him to you (the viv is a bit awkward to get in and out of my car and im too wee to lug it anyway!)
