Apollo, rescue number 22

On Saturday, I picked up Apollo, a 3 year old male beardie.


Overall, he's healthy. He has had a bit of MBD in the past because his jaw is a little wonky. I switched out his tank to a better size/fit and gave him a couple hours outside yesterday which he loved!


He was roaming around our house when he discovered my female, SweetPea. At first, he seemed totally puzzled by another beardie. He spent several minutes just starting at her as though he wasn't sure what he should do. He then figured out he wanted her (like all the other boys before him) and tried to get at her. SweetPea, who must be training to be a nun, didn't even blink at him. She's not into boy beardies.

I'm hopeful that Apollo will be super easy to place into a good home. He was loved by his previous owner, but not super socialized. I can already see him blossoming with good food and outside sun time.

Apollo was placed today in a lizard-loving home filled with boys! They adored him and he is going to be spoiled with love and attention there. :)
