Not In the Mood

Sorry folks. No "Tuesdays From The Terrarium" today due to something that came up. Best to not say more in fear of chastisement. I'll try to post today's tomorrow. But I'm headed for roud two of what I had to do today. So don't hold your breath.

I'm so tired and actually compared to yesterday in a pretty foul mood. Both from the tiredness and soreness I feel from sitting in a chair for almost six hours straight staring at numbers, and from a lovely note I received about a person's "concern".

Let's just say that it was NOT the best day to scold me like I am a 10 year old playing on the computer. So to see the note I received, yes, it ticked me off pretty much.

Have a good night, everyone. I hope to maybe post sometime tomorrow instead. I should have known that my Tuesday was going to end up being a Monday, seeing as my Monday was so freaking awesome!

Tuesdays From The Terrarium

A "plog" (pic blog) light-hearted look in to the world of reptilian ownership, love and companionship.

Our Bearded Dragon can be a real character at times. Now, Gobi has come to "know" his meal times and knows what certain food containers look like. Especially the "margarita" shaker I use to coat the crickets with D3 Calcium Supplement Powder.

Gobi goes NUTS! Yesterday, the dude actually JUMPED (more like flew) off his perch under his basking light, and hit face-first in to the tank glass to get to the crickets. All the while, pacing back and forth in longing wait to get his grub on.

As of yesterday, Gobi now is getting collard greens in his veggie mix. We have yet to see how he likes it, being the little bugger skipped his veggie meal last night.

As promised last week, I'll have pictures below of what Gobi eats and of his new living quarters.

Ready? Here we go...

                        (Setting up to fix Gobi's veggies mixture.)

       (He loves sweet potatoes. And carrots. He's also big on the leafy greens.)

          (This looks so good, there are times that I want to eat the stuff!)

And here is Gobi's new penthouse suite. Believe me, he has really gotten more personality and more of a liveliness about him since moving him from his cramped little ten gallon tank, in to his massive 40 gallon.

    (This is Gobi's old tank. He was getting so cramped up. And he wasn't very happy.)

        (Gobi's new palace. He can live in this one for the rest of his days.)

                                          (He's one happy dragon!)

Tuesdays From The Terrarium

Today is Tuesday. So, it's time for another installment of "Tuesdays From The Terrarium". It's the day for Gobi, our family's Bearded Dragon, to shine, be seen and talked about.

It's what I call a "plog", or a post full of pictures of our beloved Gobi, with at times, a funny caption of what he may have said (if he could speak, of course). All in all, it's just a light-hearted look in to the world of reptilian ownership, love and companionship.

                                  ("What you lookin' at, bub?!?!")

                   (Gobi's now-cramped terrarium cage. He's growing fast!)

            (Gobi's taken a big liking to my nephew, who is still a bit timid about him. Mainly when he walks fast or jumps.)

                             (Snack time! Mealworms. YUMMY!!)

                                      ("Now you see me.")

                                   ("Let's play 'Find The Gobi.")

Next week, you will get to see Gobi's new digs (40 gal. terrarium tank), what kinds of foods he likes to munch on and whatever other things I can catch him doing on camera.

Gobi says have a great week!

Tuesdays From The Terrarium

I think I'm going to make Tuesday's a day for Gobi, our family's Bearded Dragon, to shine, be seen and talked about. And so hence the name for today's post, Tuesdays From The Terrarium". Postings of pictures of our beloved Gobi, with at times, a funny caption of what he may have said (if he could speak, of course). Just a light-hearted look in to the world of reptilian ownership, love and companionship.

And believe me, Gobi's personality is really starting to flourish. As are his funny antics.

             (Skyler and Gobi decided playtime was too hard of a job.)

            (They crashed hardcore. Gobi loves being under a blanket.)

            (He (or she, have yet to figure it out) is doing the model/security check thing.)

           ("Did you brush your teeth, Hayley? Dentist Gobi needs to inspect...Good job!")

        (Gobi's becoming accustomed to riding on our shoulders. He LOVES it. Though, we aren't loving the claws digging in to our skin if we have on sleeveless shirts.)

                          ("So....Jump or not to jump? I think not!")

                         ("Hey, Ma! Get to blogging already!!")

                     ("My turn! Hmmm...What secrets can I spill on my blog?)
