then have we got a deal for youuuuu..
Our bearded dragon had bubbas, and cute buggers they are..
we have 7 for sale, good condition, one careful owner since new (born 24th - 27th Jan), fed well and growin to boot. When they're adult (approx 9-12mths) their body would be around the size of a guys hand with legs and head hanging off, and the tail would be up to the elbow. The photo is them all on Posties ugly mug (they've had theropy). They have a great curious nature, and dead easy to look after. Love to be handled and always watchin, but don't always need the attention. They're happy to munch down most insects, need greens every day, try them on a lot of other foods to keep them guessin.. even feed them the odd pinky now and again (not the chocolate pinky!!)
welcome to come round to have a look, and happy to arrange getting the dragons out of auckland right down to the south island (we'll figure something out). We'll also be on hand well after you've bought them, just in case you've got q's or even just to keep in touch to say how they're doing..
Their little soles are bein traded for $800 of wager.. We can also help out with the set up and food etc

Us peasant aren't worth much, when reptiles are more interesting to the gentry huh. You would look good with a leash around your neck but not worth that much .

Fark! I'd love a couple.. if I could afford 'em. That's pretty cool. Are they from a paired coupling or born asexually (?without one parent?) I think that's how it can go with lizards sometimes... I can't remember the right term for it.

they are very cool creatures ;)
nah, they need a ma' n pa', and they're born either dude or dudette. Their parents tho, are (or one was) a couple of the best beardies in nz (long story how we know) which means that these guys are gonna be special

The term is "Asexual reproduction"
The other type is a "Hermaphrodite"which is born with both sets of bits

AWESOME!!!
My Ex has a bearded dragon... Was the largest in the country last time he was weighed in...
Its funny cuz we'd take him out places with us... and the amount of people that just stare in shock or something... its great fun!!...
Sitting at the lights in the car with him on shoulder... light would go green... we'd go... but the cars next to us would always be too busy staring n not go right away...!
My father wants a blue tounge... but he is in love with ex's dragon lol...
everytime she comes over he asks 'how is my dragon?' te he... :D
I think if I told dad about these ones... mum would have a hissy fit at me...
'we've got enough animals!!' 'dont encourage your father!!' and so on lol

yeah, they're great in the car.. people stare and wave n all sorts.. really cool.
whenever we took Millie out (the adult female we lost, and we don't have any others now), the most common question of all is; 'is that real..??'
no, it's a plastic lizard on my shoulder, i'm working up to a parrot..
they are good tho. LS, do you know Haisley then? Can't remember what Millie maxed out at, but she out-shon the main breeders' adults! Half the problem was finding a male brave enough to take her on!

Yeah I have met Haisley before (dont 'know' as such, ex does)... Myself and Ex were at the pet expo with him... mmm... not last year but the one before.
We got some pinkies from him... (pulls faces!!!)... I could never watch him eat the pinkies lol...

Was gonna say... 'Ill give ex a bell n we should hook up for some 'lizard love' lol...

nah, we're not keeping any of them. Might do it again in a year or so, just want a break from lizards for a bit after these guys. Millie was larger then Big Boy! (Haisley's male, Millie's dad!)

nah, don't need permits for these dudes.. As much as MAF/DoC can't make up their fukin minds on shit, these guys are quite safe, and they really won't last past a couple of days in the wild. Too many things to eat them in NZ, and they need a way warmer climate than NZ offers..

Attached is a couple of pics too. They aren't 'X' rated, but just half a mouse. So don't click if you don't like.. You've been warned.
Millie had eaten 2 others, and we were trying to get her to eat the last one, but she wouldn't. So just to make us happy, she just bit it's head off..

And what would one need to keep and maintain them?
-Indy
bugjuice
20th February 2007, 14:37
kept well and happy, they can live between 10-15 years.. You'd need a tank (about 5ft long by 3ft is a good size for an adult), UV tube, heat light, rock or summat, and food..

are you goin to offer support to the buyers...when there young they can be a lil bit of a hand full....i like feeding them baby mice best sorce of food....
also if you are looking at buying one id say that you should buy too i have just found that they are more active if there is othere dragons around
not trying to screw your sale up buggie..these are great pets and your price is a great price

Yeah right. And not all species of lizards are permitted here either. For good reasons too, it should be noted.
yeah, some breeds of lizards that are more tolerant to the NZ climate are obviously banned. But these guys really wouldn't survive in NZ..

yep, we'd like to keep in touch with the buyers, just to see them grow up if anything, and yep, to offer support and needs too. There are a few vets around that are quite well trained, so you're not on your own by any means.
And yeah, two are a good pair, as long as it's not two males. A male and female (they'll eventually mate) or two females (ideal), will make them happier dudes n dudettes.. Can't feed them baby mice (pinkies) until adulthood. Rule of thumb; can't feed them anything that's wider than their heads.. makes sense
and no mate, you ain't screwin anything up!
