    Unhappy Bye Bye Beardie!

    Well, it has been a rough week.

    After over 8 years of companionship, he called it quits. Tuesday, I noticed my Bearded Dragon very lethargic and inactive. I thought it might be going into a lizard hibernation, because sometimes they do that. Well, not my Godzilla! He turned pale white last night and his beard went black. I rushed him to the vet this afternoon, but he didn't even make the drive there. I wish I brought him there sooner. His diagnosis was inconclusive. He is in a better place now.

    R.I.P Godzilla

    Sorry to hear about that. He’s probably smashing buildings right now in that big Monster Island in the sky.

    Awww Cece, that sucks. Sorry for your loss. Is that a normal lifespan for Bearded Dragons? I know more about turtles than lizards.

    I just adopted 3 negleced turtles this past week. Hopefully I can give them a better life...

    Beardies usually live over 10 years, I think he couldn't adjust to Chicago. But who knows. I buried him today. It's hard looking into his empty terrarium.

    Yay for saving turtles! You gotta post a pic or two. I am all about rescuing animals. I can't tell you how many I have housed.

    Thanks for your support everyone. You are all so awesome.

    Cece,
    Sorry about your little buddy. Beardies are great. I know Godzilla loved you as much as you loved him!


    If after your grieving you are looking to adopt let me know.
    I have a 4 yr old dragon. I am gone so much more lately, that i cant spend as much time as i used to with him, (or her...(never tested)
    Alfonzo is his name. he acts tough sometimes, but is very gentle, loves apples, swims in the bathtub, and long walks along the couch. you two would get along marvoulsly. im 30 min south of indianapolis (go colts!)fyi.

    My 2 green iguanas took the high road to the lizard kingdom some years back.

    Tetsuo from salmonella, which we treated him for a few weeks and appeared to be better, but turned south quickly.

    Diplodocus from god knows what. He was quite healthy. I let him out in the backyard one day and he crawled up on a tree branch overhanging my pool (which he always did) and came back to check on him about 20mins later and he was dead as a door nail. Looked like he just laid on the branch, closed his eyes, and passed on. Strangest thing. Vet exam showed nothing.

    Both lived to be about 5-6years and from tail to nose were roughly 4ft long. I told myself after them that I would never get a better reptile so I called it quits and went back to dogs, heh.

    Sorry for you loss CeCe.
