photo test

Ok I see...I have to be a member for at least 15 days for this to work. I have done the photos on other forums (my bearded dragon site) and thought I was doing it right but it wouldn't work. LOL.

That's exactly how you do it ... I am going to see if I can't get your account updated quicker, let me see what I can do for you ...

Ohhh an Amazon and Beardies. I'm going to enjoy having you around!!!

Look at that baby ... how cute is he! Congrats, you are a full-fledged member!

Thanks. I have got the hang of the photos now and even put a smaller one in my signature line...Sorry that the other pic is so big...I should have sized it down before posting it. (DUH)

Traci,
Do you have a beardie as well? Ours is only 8 months old. (aprox) He is very pretty. (At least I think so) His name is Jabba the Gut. I can add a pic here if anyone wants to see him. I haven't taken any recently. Since it got colder he hasn't been very enthusiastic about coming out to run around. He seems to be eating more now though ...so maybe just a slightly slower time of year. (Too young to burmate) My 14 year old wanted a bearded dragon so we did the research together. Finally talked his dad into it and he saved his money for it. Bought the set up and BD himself. I thought he was going to follow through on this because he wanted him so badly but I was wrong so now I have a bearded dragon. Oh well I like lizards anyway. I would rather have a red tailed boa or Iguana but no room for the cages for either of those full grown. Plus the snake and I would have to find another place to live...DH doesn't do snakes. LOL.

My (11 year old)DD has a dwarf hamster that she does a very good job of taking care of. Her first one died of wet tail. Poor little guy I think was sick from the start but we just assumed it was his personality that made him so docile. Turns out he was just ill. I tried different meds and feeding him water...etc. But the poor little thing died in my hands. I felt so bad that I couldn't save him. I did find a good medicine for Wet tail when we got the new Hamster. He ended up with it from stressing out from the new arrangements and a food change. He is fine and very healthy now.

We have raised all kinds of baby birds together as a family. Last summer we raised 6 ducks from eggs. Something happened to the mother. She left the nest (at my dad's house) and didn't come back for 3 days. My dad brought me the nest and the 9 or 10 eggs. Some of them weren't fertile and one got broken. But the remaining 6 hatched and did quite well. That was so neat to watch. We have done common grackles and robins as well. I thought we were going to end up with 5 or 6 baby squirrels as well. We saved them from the basement/chimney/furnace. The mother had brought them in via our chimney and they started wondering around...and a few of them ended up in our furnace flue pipe. They were covered in soot and just a mess...I wasn't sure they would make it. One had a pretty bad cut on his nose and the other was so covered in soot that I thought he had surely inhaled enough to clog his lungs. But we cleaned them up and set them outside one at a time and the mamma came to get them. It was so cool to watch.

I have one Beardie his name is Puff. He is 2 years old. We recently had some kidney problems and he is finally starting to come around. Post any pictures of any pets you have we like to see them all. I will get some up later of all my guys and some new pics of the birds.
