Description These are Star (on the left) and Squirt (right) showing off their angel wings for Christmas.

I got these two at the Daytona reptile Expo in August--they are about 6 months old, although Squirt is a few weeks younger than her sister.

Angel costumes made by me.

LOL- never thought of doing something like this. Star looks like she's contemplating the halo for a taste test.

I am pretty sure that was exactly what she was thinking about those getups. I think they even went after the feathers a couple of times!

I can't really help with directions since I don't live in Florida anymore and I didn't know that area very well, you might want to do a google search and get directions from there .

Ow wow, I have the cossin of the bearded Dragon, The Desert Agoma. Her name is Dragona. I was wondering, where can I get the wings you have on your lizards? They look so cute. If you made, I am amazed, and my older sister is shocked by how calm they look.

Thanks! A friend gave me the idea for the wings, so I can't take credit for that, but we had a lot of fun!

handmade = major win.

i cut my own hair until mum made me go get it "fixed up" a week ago. and that was a sad day, because i liked my hair over my eyes. it blocked the sun.

Are they all from the same clutch? Amazing! And I've never seen a Bearded Dragon with bright colours like that.

HeatherTelesca In reply to ShadowFoxxx [2006-12-26 22:03:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! They have the same father, but are from different clutches--hatched about 3 weeks apart.

They're so cuuuuuuute. I saw a couple at Wal-Mart the other day each with a bearded dragon on their shoulder.

Wow! I'm surprised they let them into Walmart! I have to try that sometime...

I honestly don't think the greeters or any employees noticed the dragons. But I have seen people with tiny puppies and kittens in Wal-Mart in the past bundled up in purses and light blankets in the child seat of the carts. I only noticed the dragons because of my (seriously)keen eye to the tiniest details. They both had black shirts on and as we walked past, I noticed something small, tan and spikey on the woman's shoulder. I was like "Ooh, a bearded dragon!" and they turned and smiled at me like "How'd you see them?" XDD They were pretty small...not babies but not adults either. The one on the woman's shoulder was probably four, five inches long and the one on the man's shoulder was at least seven inches. The woman let me hold her beardie... Once I get Tipsy used to wearing the flight suit(birdy diaper) and a harness, I'll take him places like Petco, Petsmart and Wal-Mart. Of course, I'll wait until it gets warmer or huddle him under my shirt while we walk to and from the car...XD

Awwe, what cutey-pies! Great wings, too, especially for being hand-crafted! That box they're in is a beautiful backdrop, and your reptiles all seem just oh-so-photogenic! I love the way they tolerate being dressed up, or well, at least enough to get some photos of them. XD

HeatherTelesca In reply to DemonLog [2006-12-26 22:02:30 +0000 UTC]

Heehee! Star was SOOOOO mad at me...she lasted maybe 15 minutes in them before she went on a dragon rampage through my little set up trying to get the wings off! (Godzilla anyone?)

Squirt on the other hand seemed to LOVE the wings and probably would have been fine in them for an hour or so.

I hope the wings being handcrafted is a good thing! I am fairly proud of them, as a friend held them when I was done and was a bit grossed out by the fact that they "felt real." lol...

DemonLog In reply to HeatherTelesca [2006-12-26 22:14:11 +0000 UTC]

I made mini-wings out of real feathers once for a sculpted dragon, and my mum had the same reaction.

Poor, poor Star, and her name matches the wings and halo so well! But I think Squirt, despite an unfitting name, is cuter. ^.~

HeatherTelesca In reply to DemonLog [2006-12-26 22:59:23 +0000 UTC]

LOL...you haven't seen Squirt's little diva attitude! She would open up her mouth, turn her beard black, hiss at me, and try to bite me for months after I got her! It has taken a lot of work to get her to calm down!

DemonLog In reply to HeatherTelesca [2006-12-27 00:19:25 +0000 UTC]

Feisty one, eh? Well, it seems like you're quite a patient, caring owner from what I've come to know, so I'm inclined to believe she'll do quite well with you! She's still quite cute, though, and I think a dark black beard would contrast quite nicely with those pearly-white wings, don't you?

HeatherTelesca In reply to DemonLog [2006-12-27 05:12:29 +0000 UTC]

Heehee...if I can manage to get the wings on her when she's pissed at me I'll try it!!!
