My friend is considering getting a new beardie and since she is aware that my beautiful, scaley bearded master rules my entire life and universe… she asked me if there was anything I wish someone had told me BEFORE becoming a servant to the bearded ones… and honestly the only thing I could think of… is that I wished someone had warned me about how FOUL their poops smell… I had no idea… I took her to an exotic vet 3 times to check for parasites because I was certain that a demon was living inside her beautiful lil bowels…she was treated (and checked and rechecked)… but the stank remains…my vet and other beardie parents I have met have since reassured and enlightened me that these tiny dinosaurs are notorious for offensive fecal matter... But I was just wondering if everyone else knew what they were getting into in THIS particular regard….
My experience happened in the exact reverse order… I brought a tiny baby home in a 10 gallon tank… she was a baby for precisely 2 minutes… but I fell in love with her even faster than that… and immediately promised her the best life possible…
But you are 1000000% right… my baby is about to turn 3 and I still spend HOURS researching, learning, and asking questions, as well as spending God only knows how much money, time and effort upgrading her life to be the best possible… they are definitely not a beginner pet and I wish MORE THAN ANYTHING that I could let the entire world know that these are NOT the kind of pet you buy your kid to learn how to take care of pets….Bearded dragons should definitely be considered anything but “beginner”
YES!!!! One time my girl was sleeping on her hammock when 2 of the 4 suction cups gave way… she fell. like a rock, to the bottom of her tank and I heard it from across the house! I went running in, grabbed her and clutched her to my chest… she bellowed and blinked at me like …”how dare you wake me!”
My “master” (as she sees it) does the same thing! But ONLY when I take extra time to try and spoil her… I get all of her favorite veggies and take the time to shred, dice or shave and prepare a fine dining quality salad plate (with reptavite and calcium on top of course) and THOSE are the salads she shits on in 3 seconds flat. If I only take 2-3 mins to just sort of throw her salad together…. Then she shits in her bed. God, I love that lil sasshole!
I second this! I’m not sure about pricing because I will not go anywhere else, but even if they are slightly more expensive than others, it would be worth paying the difference because the quality of service they offer is truly unmatched and so hard to find.
OP PLEASE block this asshole and never even think of him again. This adult man got you pregnant when you were 15 and then had nothing to do with the child and now has the audacity to try to make you feel sorry for him?! Why should you do more now, than he ever did for you or your son? Fuuuuuuuck this guy…
OP…I would like to give you some elderly advice… as I was born in 1982, which makes me older than you, but not this dude… anyway… RUN… don’t walk… you want no part of this…EVER!!!!
Whether this is true or not, OP doesn’t need any part of it. Just consider this a gift from him either way… he is either saving you from his jealous ex… or himself… don’t ask questions… just take the gift and go live happily ever after without whatever the fuck this is….
This made my whole day🖤
Edit: …obviously not that OP is feeling down… for that, I am so sorry and can absolutely relate… I just really needed a reminder that there is still good in this world…

Happy FFF and respect to an elder dragon🙌🙌🙌
This might be my favorite sploot of the thread…
Her markings are awesome!
I am so angry reading this. Meeting up with him would be the absolute unhealthiest thing you could ever do, purely for the fact that he blames “your body” for miscarrying and repeatedly said “you took him from me”… also, not that matters if it is part of OP’s grieving, but how is he so sure it was a boy? Would he mourn a daughter as deeply? If this is truly about closure, and OP feels like it will help her… PLEASE for the love of God, ask him to meet you and write the letter in the presence of your current bf… or someone else who makes you feels safe… I don’t think he will be ok with that because it isn’t about closure… he wants to see you and suck you back in to the cycle of unhealthiness… OP please put yourself first. You are not responsible for his grieving… he needs to process this without you.
I love this! We have always called my girl Dorito head, because of her triangular shaped head and I’ve never heard someone else say it! It makes me so strangely happy…
This is my favorite nickname for EVERYONE… my tiny dinosaur master, my dogs, our cat, my human children, other drivers, etc, etc, etc…

That makes waaaaaay more sense! But if I remember correctly, weren’t they the ones who weighed their food to make sure they both ate the exact same amount inorder to attempt to be the exact same weight/size? What if the preggy twin got stretch marks? Or after the birth…do you think they would drive their shared partner absolutely mad wondering if it still felt EXACTLY the same during sex with both of them… it just seems sooooooo risky if anyone involved in the situation had enough forethought to actually think this whole thing through…
The “Dildo of consequences…” is PURE GOLD… a saying that will live rent free in my head… forever….
I 1000% guarantee that even if he didn’t know how to take it in the moment, this meant something to the kid. From the situation you described I’m sure he lacks positive engagement from adult figures and whether or not either of you realize it right now, he will remember your words and you will have made an impact on the path he is walking in life… I don’t think you should EVER stop what you are doing… this world has always been a cold place, more often than not… but it seems to me that everything has gotten 100 times worse after the pandemic… like quarantine and social distancing made people forget how to act in public and how to treat one another. When I see something good, I always try to point it out because whatever it is, this world needs so much more of it….
