RE: On the way!
Méraddyn Has Arrived
Jacqui~how did you know that it was going to be exactly like that? LOL
Ken~you are too funny! Yes, a new heir is important but I was much more concerned about my new arrival
LOL
Yvonne~ LOL soup!
Laura~he/she is a sulcata
To recap: No, I didn't really get more than 30 mins sleep last night, YES, I waited anxiously (torture!) 10:30 came and went and then noon came and went Finally at about 12:30 I heard the familiar sound I almost jumped in the truck to get my baby!! LOL Driver handed me the precious box and I couldn't hear or see anything beside getting my baby out and checking on him/her
SO PRECIOUS!!! He/She is about 6" (about 2 inches bigger than I had expected!) No worries I fell in love BEFORE he/she even got here
Baby has been soaked, loved on (a bit) and is now checking out its new home. I even put a banquet fit for a king/queen ( Ken) out for the baby for when it is ready
I only got this photo for now~I want to let our long-awaited baby get more settled before I turn into paparazzi I will also see if I can tell if our baby is a boy or a girl when it is all settled

Méraddyn has arrived!! So happy! Can't wait till he/she settles in so I can love on him/her and become the paparazzi!! Everything for our baby's new home is in perfect order and I even laid out a banquet that is fit for a queen/king when the baby is ready
So far, this is the only pic I have of him (but there WILL be more
)

Great picture! She/he has a great face. Glad it arrived safely and didn't make you wait too long for it. After surviving this part of the experience, the rest is easy.

RE: Finally!!!
Only if you continue to post in the "General" category, when it should go in the "Sulcata" category!

RE: Finally!!!
oops! I am sorry I will fix that for the future
Yea, I noticed that too It is a small split(crack) from the very center point...Actually I was getting ready to ask if I should be really concerned with it or if there is anything I can do?
Any suggestions would be great and very much appreciated

Congratulations! Most of people like to raise them from hatchlings. I'm curious what makes you decide to buy a juvenile instead.

Sorry for the delay in reply~we were camping
And yes, Méraddyn came with us, stayed in his/her own tent and had a blast! We chose a yearling for a couple of reasons...1. Like you said, most want hatchlings~so we decided to go with what some might consider as 'less desirable' (kind of like adopting older cat/puppies from an animal shelter
)2. We researched the requirements for the age ranges and found that the yearlings best match our lifestyle and we wanted to make sure that our new baby was going to be well taken care of with minimal chances of 'dropping the ball' in its care
Even though, Méraddyn is not a hatchling, he/she is still quite young enough to bond to us and our way of life
Méraddyn has, in fact, already shown a bond to me and his/her human brother~ LOLI hope this answers your curiosity (I knew this question was coming-LOL
) If not, please let me know if you have any other questions - Status
