Brand newbie about to buy 1st hatchling beardies

[Morvana]

Hi peeps,

So glad I found a forum - am new to being a lizard owner so it will be heaps handy to read all the advice and share pics

Got into reptiles after owning a Mediterranean tortoise called Sherman. Was so shocked at how fun he was - not boring at all - and he was seriously a fast moving little tycoon - lost him a few times in my apartment. He would also come and sit on my foot to get warm and watching him eat lettuce was pretty funny 2

Any-hoo went and checked out some beardie's over in Pendle Hill, NSW last weekend and fell in lurve with them instantly. There's a couple of awesome breeders out there called Andrew and Pete. They also have Boyd's and a couple of goanna's who looked pretty frisky !

So I'm collecting 2 hatchling beardie's in about a week from now - got the enclosure and located a pet shop in Kellyville selling live crickets.

I am sure i will be back on here with a ton of questions when they arrive home and start running riot - I hope I can keep them super healthy and happy ....

Great to meet you all !

just so u know any exotic reptiles such as tortoises, chameleons and the like are all illegal in australia. also hope u know u need a license to keep reptiles in australia as well.

and beardies are great pets. my bf's ones have the run of his lounge room some times they are great. just be careful where u buy them and make sure they are from reputable dealer

good luck

Hi guys thanks for the warm welcome.

I am in Chatswood, Sydney - I've been over in AU for about 4 years and before that me and the tortoise lived in the UK

Do you guys know of an easy way get some woodies without driving too far from the North Shore? I get scared of all the traffic !

Even better if I can just have a box delivered?

Also thanks for the reminder about the license - will apply right now

Thanks guys,

Morvana
