Introducing my new bearded dragon

[acpart]

I had 2 bearded dragons pass away in 2020, both due to old age. In January, I got a new beardie who unfortunately only lived for 3 weeks. After a necroscopy with the vet I found out that it had listeriosis, a fairly uncommon disease in reptiles.
Last week I drove from Boston to New York to pick up a new beardie directly from the breeder. Now that he's been with me a week and is definitely eating and active I'm ready to introduce him.

Meet Spark who is 8 months old and is exploring in my living room in this picture:

So far so good! He really love strawberries, crickets and running around the living room.

We haven’t tried strawberries with ours yet but he goes crazy for squash.

He's 3 now and doing great. He runs around all morning in the living room and dining room, though brumation is just around the corner. I posted a thread on the forum last week with some pictures of him hunting crickets on the floor.

Thanks. I've had him for 3 years now. The previous beardies, with one exception, lived at least 10 years each and essentially died of old age.
