Fighting Dragons

[doenoe]

Hello there

my bearded dragons were having one of their little fights again. Nothing serious, just a little display and stuff.
Anyways, was a nice moment to take some pics.
Here they are:

Thanks for looking

Well, cool!
Some real ACTION shots! You should give one of these into this week's Photo Assignment over in the Photo Themes Section . Your "action"-photo will then definitely be different from other people's contributions .

My daughter sooooo wants to have a terrarium.
Did you build your own?
When did you start and what animals did you start with? May I ask?

hey thats a great idea..........forgot about the Photo assignment

About the reptiles. Yes, did built my own terrarium, just a little on the big side though and it took me 1 year and 8 months to built......could have done it faster, but i wasnt in a hurry. I started with an emperor scorpion, not a reptile but exotic nonetheless. Still got that little girl. And now i got 2 bearded dragons. These are great beginners pets. Very hardy animals.
And you dont nescerally have to built your own enclosure, there are alot of people out there who keep beardies in a fishtank.
You can find alot of info about beardies and other exotic animals, on these 2 forums (some members from there are on this forum too):
www.ssnakess.com
www.reptilescanada.com
There are more sites with caresheets and info on the net, just google it and you will find heaps.

Here are 2 pics of my terrarium:

I absoltly love the last one, it shows the dominant and the submisive very well, great capture!

 

[doenoe]

thanks for the replies
and mentos, they arent that scary. They are just 40 cm long, including tail, dont need alot of room and they are just cool once you get to know them. And its a great pet to have, if you are allergic to furry animals
