The Puffer Forum

I went to the pet store and held a baby beardie and i am totally in love its time to do major research and surf for some awesome prices on reptile supplies

Lol, nice. They are soo cool. I will be super jealous if you get one. I want one too. One day.

These are my 3 leo geckos, i rehomed them last year due to financial issues they're lovely lizards, first 2 Fergie and Fezz were very tame when they were younger, but as they grew i decided to leave them to their own devices, i got Flick a year after and she joined them no problems at all, they are great fun to watch, very inquisitive and curious animals, love their food too, i used to love watching them hunt and who can resist those massive metallic eyes







These are my 2 Beardies, both rescues, Harry is quite small for his age and being a male, he should be large and chunky but was not given the required diet and calcium supplement as a baby and its stunted him, he also has trouble keeping weight on him The female was an opposite matter, she was very overweight when we got her, she could hardly walk and was very lazy, she'd been fed on locusts and morio worms all her life, both very fattening food and she refused anything else, we got strict with her here and she didn't eat for 5 months after we got her, but i wasn't going to give in! However when hunger got the better of her, she started eating her green, dandelions to begin with, now she'll eat lambs lettuce, cabbage, kale, carrot amongst others and she also ate crickets and more recently taken a liking to roaches, so i'm dead chuffed, shes lost a bit of weight already and is so much more active, she will run a full length across the room Shes very friendly and loves to come out, Harry like most male beardies goes through that time of the year when all he wants to do is dominate you, he turns black and can be a right grumpy sod! he's been known to chase my other half across the room, mouth open, black beard flaring and jumping at him we loves him though

Leaping lizards, what cute pictures!!!

I am completely in love with both species!!! This is so hard mayb i will eventually get both

The geckos have creepy looking eyes. That ruins them for me.

When I lived in Florida we had 3 Tokay Geckos that ran loose in the house. Florida has so many bugs, and you really can't get rid of all of them, so what better way to have insect control than to have lizards that eat the bugs? Those Tokays get big and they have an awesome bite. I had to catch them once when we had to have the house tented for termites, was the hardest thing to do, but if I didn't catch them they would have died, and I didn't want that. As it was I caught them and I let them loose in the house after the tenting and they went on to live and eat bugs. I think they are very cool, not creepy at all, however, I'm not sure I would feel okay about keeping them in captivity, as it seemed more appropriate that they roamed the house finding their own food.

Beautiful animals! I really love lizards! Unfortunately it's not allowed to keep any reptiles in Norway. I really wish I could keep a few small lizards of some kind.

I like their eyes, they're so awesome with those striking colours!

Guess who got a Beardie today!!!! Yup me!!!!!

so me and the ole BF went the the LFS to pick up some snails and other puffer goodies and ill be darn if they wasnt having a reptile sale.... I strolled over to just look and there he was totally caught my eye super cute so little tan and orange Beardie and they was 20 bucks off the price. My BF seen my face and told the woman to pack him we are taking him home. So after buying all the supplies for this jewel. We are now Parents to a Beautiful new Beardie! now just got to think of a name. And i am not sure if it is a male or female i guess i can make it whatever i want

You can sex an adult easy, Juveniles very difficult, babies practically impossible i'm afraid.
