It's a dragin

Bearded dragon showing off his injuries on the end of his nose and behind his eye.



The zoovets pumped him full of antibiotics and held him for a few days. I have him here now for a few weeeks R&R befor I release him.



Dragon says "Bugger Off"



Beardies are usually a mid-grey, but they can change colour to suit the environment. They can't change like a chameleon, but they can change from very dark grey to pale yellows. They change to either manage heat absorption or to hide. When I picked up my dragon he'd been in dead grass for some time.



This is after 10 minutes in a box on newspaper.

I got to "pet" a bearded lizard at the South Dakota Reptile Gardens. I'll be posting pictures eventually, but didn't get one of that dragon. Instead, I have one of his much bigger cousin. *Grins* I also passed up on playing with the Ball Python the lady had next to the little guy.

What impressed me most was that he was at once fairly soft, but really prickly.

Have the best
