His name is skeeter. He is currently a juvenile about 4 inches long. I just love the little guy :D

those bright spots on his back are beautiful!
 
sadly only one is mine, the other belongs to my sister. They are the same age but her female is a bit larger than my little skeeter :\
He's so cool :D he loves being handled already
 
sure, i'll have to wait a bit for a picture though. I gotta use the digital cam and the cord is in my mums room. She works 3rd shift so no access until 10 pm mountain time >.< if only i could find my cord.

The screen top lid is too small right now, so I'm improvising using a piece of cardboard and some duct tape. Not the best I know, but it's all I have until I can exchange the lid.
It's a 33 gallon tank for 2 juveniles for right now. I'll be moving them to a 77 when they outgrow the 33.
I'm currently doing the feeding and light schedule (and most of the poop cleaning) so you could say their both mine but...I'm satisfied with skeeter :)
 
I was going to grab the horned dragon plus skeeter here, but my mum ruled a no go and grabbed the fem beardy. She has breeding on her mind for the future :P
Is it normal for juvenile beardies to have black/grey patterns on their underbellies?I'll take a picture later (along with a pic of my setup) to show you. They're eating healthy (they have this odd love of cabbage so it's their staple right now). Cabbage and juvenile beardy pellets (along with some carrots) for the first week of them being here. I'll move them to a mix of veggies,mealworms,and pellets when the week is up. After that it's gut-loaded, calcium dusted crickets :P
 
Here are a couple pics of my set up

That's a mealworm dish in the bottom :P
Here's skeeter and venus

Skeeter's dehydrated right now so I'm soaking his pellets before feeding to him. That should fix it and get some meat on his little body :P
They really love cabbage but not carrots or apples.
