Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Very cute dragon, Kestra! Good afternoon, CPA! *sets out coffee, tea, juices, apples, brownies, and ham sandwiches* I have a rescued bird outside. I hope he'll be okay. Right now he keeps toppling over to the left or ending up on his back, which isn't a good thing. Toppage, page 472! Edited July 23, 2021 by Lagie Toppage! Share this post Link to post

No, it is not. Based on past experience, I wouldn't hold out much hope for its recovery, unfortunately. Share this post Link to post

I have a friend who will be taking it tomorrow if its still alive. She has a good track record with bird recoveries but we're fortunately both realists about the fact that sometimes they die no matter how much you do. Share this post Link to post

They go into shock easily. Most of the specialists work for zoos and commercial aviaries. Share this post Link to post

I particularly like the cat-like way he had his front legs,.because he never sits like that! he's awesome! my vamps went 50/50 today. i had 2 vamps who each bit an egg. both stayed on my scroll - one as a vamp, and one as a dead egg. well, at least it won't count towards my eggs after tomorrow evening....... i'm guessing on a july release of new eggies sunday at midnight, so i want no more eggs on my scroll by tomorrow night. my vamp will be hatching soon, and my florets will hatch tomorrow evening, so all is lined up for that!

Posted July 23, 2021 oh that's cool, Lagie! see, i'm trying to get vamps to name from the House of Night series, and i have three vamps that i want to do all the biting. so there's that. it's slow going, also because of the cool-down period! Share this post Link to post

(Well I guess you can get there and back in a day from here, but you wouldn't have time to do anything there.) 2 hours ago, Lagie said: After 5 in 5, I stopped biting. Sounds like your vamps are like mine -- cold-blooded killers! Only time I ever try any more is if I have a request for a bite by my original CB -- but he is a killer, too, so it usually takes several tries to get a Vamp egg from him. @Kestra15 That looks like a pretty big dragon -- bigger than my granddaughter's. How old is he? Today was actually a pretty pleasant day for traveling. Temperature and humidity were both in a comfortable range for once and it was partly cloudy most of the day.

Posted July 24, 2021 ah very cool. well, no.... she goes to Pitt....classes start on August 27th (yes that's a friday), but her and two friends have off-campus housing and the lease starts on august 1, so she want to move out there and get settled in, well, as soon as possible. she was ready to move back in march of 2020, if that gives you any idea how eager she is to get back to school she'll be there for a few days and then coming back here for another week and a half, as there's a few more things that are still happening before school starts - but then she'll be back out on the 15th until.... maybe thanksgiving?

Posted July 24, 2021 what flavour cheesecake should i make? spent 69420 years in ikea picking a new bedframe, only to find out that it's not in stock until janurary. Guess i am going plan B for furniture shopping 😅 Share this post Link to post
Posted July 24, 2021 Butterscotch. With real butter and real scotch. Pffft... bedframes are so old fashioned. Put the box and mattress on the floor so the monsters can't hide underneath. Share this post Link to post

Posted July 24, 2021 Good morning, CPA! *sets out coffee, teas, juices, apples, brownies, and bacon and eggs* So... the Atlantis pics were a dud, then? The bird flew off under its own steam when I wasn't looking, so I hope it will be okay. Share this post Link to post

Posted July 24, 2021 I hope it'll be okay Lagie. If nothing else at least you did what you could and Lego Atlantis looks awesome! Alice is four years old so fully grown now, and around two foot long from about to tail-tip. He reached that size at about eighteen months. If anything he seems slightly skinny compared to other beardies I've seen! Share this post Link to post

If anything he seems slightly skinny compared to other beardies I've seen! Hmmm. Well, Lizzie must be fully grown, too, because she is about 3, I think, but she is smaller than that. Of course I have not seen her in person in over a year and a half, but I have seen her on ZOOM and I don't think she has grown that much. 56 minutes ago, Lagie said: The bird flew off under its own steam when I wasn't looking, so I hope it will be okay. Glad to hear that. I would take that as a good sign, although I suppose it could still have a bad outcome. Share this post Link to post

Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Yup. You can't sex a dragon until they are about six to nine months, and we got Alice at three months if age, so Lover decided Alice was a girl. Then one day I noticed Alice had both of his...requirements. Didn't see a need to change his name. We respect his life choices, and it worked for Alice Cooper! For an idea of size, here he was at four months. Edited July 24, 2021 by Kestra15 Share this post Link to post
