Dash, rescue 162

Dash is a 9 year old Beardie! NINE!! 


He's an old gentleman. I am so surprised that someone could let him go after that many years! Poor guy! 

He learned to drink immediately! I loved it! 


He is loving the heat lamp in his tank. He spends most of his day flattened out underneath it. His caretaker said he didn't eat greens, but he ate some for me. He needs some good food in him to help him put on weight. He's a bit too skinny. 


Beardies usually live (normally) between 8 and 13 years. I've heard of a 15 year old Beardie and that's a record. Sadly most are poorly cared for and live less than 8.  Dash will be needing a forever home- somewhere he won't be bounced again. I'll let ya'all know when he's ready to go.
