Here's my son's bearded dragon George and his lovely lizard lady Thorn.   His friend's dragon is a girl and they've struck up a friendship. It was good to finally see the beard!

In this photo they're actually holding paws, claws or hands. 

I have to admit I've made progress in being close to them as I can drive with two of them in the car next to me, but, I draw the line at having them scampering around on the ground or on me!

It's been almost two years he's been with us and I've grown accustomed to his looks...furtive glances out of one eye when I go in the room and say, 'Hey Georgie'.

Our cat looks at him curiously...wondering if he'd be worth hunting.  But my son claims they're 'friends'.  Yeah.

It's funny how living with a reptile has changed my views on them.  I always watched lizards when I was little in the Sierras, but, didn't have one in my house. I had a gecko when I lived in Hawaii, but it wasn't tame, just present and eating bugs on the ceiling.  

I also swam with a beautiful salamander in a lake near the reeds and that was neat. 

But a lizard like George is like watching a dinosaur in miniature. 

I hope everyone's been good, I have been on the site obviously, but unable to make many posts in the blogosphere.  I've kept up with a few of them, but haven't posted much.
