An Amazing Monsoon

[sworntotheblack]

Two days ago, down here in the desert a way out from my house i was visiting a friend. A storm was blowing in some major dust and a light rain was just starting to fall. I look over towards my vehicle and i see what appears to be a large lizard running towards the garage. My friend goes "dude look at the size of that iguana" I stop and look at him puzzled and say "its a Beardie, i mean bearded dragon dude" He say's to me what are you gonna do, he looks mean. I said im gonna catch him. And i did just that, someone i believe let this poor fellow go. He's a full grown adult must'a outgrown his cute cuddly 10-20 gallon cage and moved onto a bigger and badder enclosure. He's a jumper and knocked the lid off the cage i moved him into so i now have a brick on each corner. He's sitting on my lap with raspberry stains on him and me, he's a messy eater. In light of all the activity that day i named the fellow monsoon. :main_rolleyes:

Monsoons doing wonderfull got him eating a good diet his stool has firmed up and he got a new condo *cage* a few day's ago. He is much happier i will snap a few pics of him later and post them up.

Note the red on his lips is from berries.

Picture Updates *8/25-8/29*

PICTURES
The above photo is monsoon sunning out back in the morning, he actually goes poop outside everyday as long as hes out before 8:30. Other picture in middle is of him after we got his new 65 gallon tank. He messed up the paper towels i have on one side to line the tank ( ran out of reptile carpet ) Picture 3 was taken a few morning's ago after a rain storm and the sun had come out making it about 99 degrees at 9:30 AM (man its hot)

Update on Monsoon:
Some updates of monsoon, i believe he is a male, I've checked a guide and he has the two small bulbs on his tail more than near his vent. I always offer him a sallad outside as well as in his cage to see if he will eat it, ever since i started getting him crickets, mealworms, and feeding him the occasional wax worm the Leo's won't eat for there weekly snack's, he's gone on some sort of a veggie strike, still i can coax him to eat fruit if im lucky that being the red smear you see on him in most pictures "Raspberry's". Thanks for all whom commented on monsoon and for any helpful advice any of you may offer.
