soo, sweet, he's diving!.

I'm gonna get my self a bearder dragon to! I just L.O.V.E them!
If read that letting them swing is very good for them and stuff, but i don't have an awsome pool like you. So wil a big sink do it? And may i ask; Can i take them with me in the summer to more natural waters? not the ocean, but there are alot of sweetwater places here in the netherlands, with nice clean water. and do you have special gear? so i don't lose him or her?

Wow, I had no idea some of them could swim so well.. I put my oldest one in a kiddy pool once in awhile but I never filled it up over her head, but she still tries to swim around in it and go under >.<

Wow! A Pogona vitticeps diving... I never thought I would see that someday. Great shot, with splendid colors, curves and movement. And the little bubbles add something true and realistic to the action picture.. I don't really know how to say it but yeah, they do.

Both of mine HATE the water with a burning passion. Hopefully I'll obtain a little water lover some day. You got an awesome shot, all legs pointed back so he's just gliding through the water.

I love the moment you captured. I didn't realize these animals could swim. It's so cool. Your pets are beautiful. It's good to see you are so dedicated to them. I'd be happy to have you visit my page. I have many colored pencil and pencil pics that are not at college yet, so keep an eye out.

AleaIshikawa In reply to ReptilHombre [2005-08-08 02:30:19 +0000 UTC]

"Crop" meaning to frame the subject better, like taking out some of the excess blue space in the lower left portion of the picture to focus on the curve of the figure.

Were this bigger, it could've made for a good wallpaper, too.

Is the chlorine in the pool really all that healthy for him?

ReptilHombre In reply to Inkou [2005-08-05 07:21:15 +0000 UTC]

No its not healthy for them, but it doesnt hurt them, as long as you wash them off afterward. Actually some tap water that you drink has more chlorine in it then a pool does. But yeah, as long as you wash them off afterward, it doesn't hurt them at all.

Inkou In reply to ReptilHombre [2005-08-07 07:43:18 +0000 UTC]

I'll keep that in mind when I go to get a glass of water. How do you know your lizards can swim, and won't just drown?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ReptilHombre In reply to Inkou [2005-08-07 18:35:23 +0000 UTC]

Well I mostly give them baths in the bathtub and I can tell which ones love the water and which ones don't. Some hate it and will try to get out, some don't mind it and will just sit there and there are some that love it and will swim around. They all are different, which makes them great pets!
I am right there with them the whole time while in the pool, because one of my dragons will actually go down deep and then just wants to float back up but I have to pull him back out, lol. So you should always be supervising

Inkou In reply to ReptilHombre [2005-08-08 03:19:20 +0000 UTC]

Ah, sounds like a better strategy than throwing a couple into the pool and seeing which ones sink or swim. Is it important to bathe them, because they otherwise don't clean themselves? Is it to get rid of shedding skin, or do they get dirty? Are snakes supposed to get baths, too?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ReptilHombre In reply to Inkou [2005-08-08 04:13:34 +0000 UTC]

Yes, baby dragons should mostly get misted but as they get older they should get a bath 1-3x a week. Its too keep them hydrated and yes, they do get feces on them and stuck sheds that need to come off so the luke warm water helps get that off.
Snakes can get baths to get off loose skin or to help them go the bathroom(because of the warm water), but no, they shouldn't get a bath all the time. A lot of them will actually soak in their water bowl.

I'm sorry, I'm probably bugging you with all the questions, you just seem to know so much about reptiles. How long have you been taking care of these animals?

ReptilHombre In reply to Inkou [2005-08-08 22:31:25 +0000 UTC]

No its no problem! I have been taking care of reptiles for about 2-3 years now, not long at all.

Inkou In reply to ReptilHombre [2005-08-10 08:19:04 +0000 UTC]

That's very cool! Now do you let your snakes and lizards play together or would they try to eat each other?

ReptilHombre In reply to Inkou [2005-08-10 22:46:51 +0000 UTC]

They would definitely try to each each other

Inkou In reply to ReptilHombre [2005-08-11 07:33:54 +0000 UTC]

Even if they're both well fed? Do your lizards eat the same thing as your snakes, or do you buy them special lizard food?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ReptilHombre In reply to Inkou [2005-08-12 01:11:38 +0000 UTC]

If they didnt' eat each other, they would definitley bite each other. The dragons eat crickets/roaches/worms and greens, and the snakes eat frozen/thawed mice and rats.

Inkou In reply to ReptilHombre [2005-08-13 05:56:49 +0000 UTC]

So they can't, like, swim together or anything? Why do they attack each other if they don't naturally eat each other? Wouldn't it be like rabbits and chinchillas, sort of? If you get them used to each other, wouldn't they be able to get along?

ReptilHombre In reply to Inkou [2005-08-13 21:08:20 +0000 UTC]

No, most snakes dont' like to swim. And the snake will probably eat the lizard, but IF it didn't eat the lizard, it would probably just bite bit and hurt the lizard. If its a smaller snake, the lizard will probably bite at the snake. Its just nature, theres no way around it.

Forgive the crack I've apparently been smoking. Not collareds, bearded dragons...! My bad...!

I used to have a pair of beardeds ~ but that was a while ago. I miss 'em. But I do now have a pair of Eastern collared lizards ~ hence, the mental burp.

Durf.
