New Book!

My human. Wrote a book. About me! (Well, Bearded Dragons in general, but I'm the main character!) She put a lot of work into it over the past three years, so if you're interested in Beardies, please consider checking out 'A Link Between Us: Life With A Bearded Dragon,' available now!

(Full summary and extra Link pictures from over the years below the cut.)

Summary:

With a reputation as being sweet, mild-natured lizards, Bearded Dragons are a widespread exotic pet. However, the reality of living with and caring for one of these reptiles doesn't always match up with the ideal sold by pet stores. In 'A Link Between Us,' the author brings readers into the world of Beardie careship through a combination of scientific research and personal stories about her dragon, Link.

After all, all stories need a main character, and Link is the perfect Beardie for the job.

Hey everyone,

Link had continued to go downhill over the past week, and so I made the painful decision to have him put to sleep yesterday.

I’m planning on leaving this blog up, with this being the last post. I’m… not sure how to end this, so I’ll leave with this: Thank you for all the positive interactions over the years.

And thank you to Link, for being the best Bearded Dragon in the world.

Blog update (8-11-23) from Link's human

Firstly, Link is fine. He's currently chilling in his hammock, listening to music from Fairy Tail, while I type this.

I, on the other hand, haven't been. This blog (along with irl stuff) has been causing me a lot of stress, particularly when trying to make sure that everything about Link looks perfect in any uploaded photos.

I'm not abandoning this blog, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get back to the (at minimum) weekly posts that it used to be. Maybe more posts some weeks and maybe none others, it'll just depend on how I feel.

I kinda doubt anyone cares, but I wanted to post an explanation, just in case.

[lizardlink]

Ah, human. What do you have for me this morning?

Acorn squash, is it? I suppose.

I’m waiting very patiently here, human. Hurry up with breakfast.

[lizardlink]

Just a handful of recent pictures since my human is too lazy to come up with a caption or anything today.

[lizardlink]

If you don’t have a nice log to hug and sink your claws into, you’re missing out.

Waking up to your human laughing and taking pictures:

[lizardlink]

No, human. Not that angle.

That’s better.

[lizardlink]

I realized that I’ve never shown off my entire home! It’s not the fanciest on the internet, but my human picked everything just for me.

And don’t worry about the sole lamp - my human gets the combined heat and UV lights!

[lizardlink]

… I would very much like to go back home please.

[lizardlink]

(First off: Link is fine. Don’t worry.

Second: the silly lizard was up on his sunning branch and decided to try and copy how cats scratch - back leg to head. It ended abruptly when he slid off said branch.)

[lizardlink]

“Did you tire yourself out eating, sunning, and being cute all day?”

Yes, human. I did. The patronizing tone isn’t necessary.

[lizardlink]

What do you have there, human?

Not more protein pellets? Then never mind.

[lizardlink]

Anyone else’s human mildly obsessed with some ‘Pokemon Legends’ game? Because I’m starting to get concerned about mine…

[lizardlink]

Wait, human. I’m sure it’s just a little stomach bug or I’ll shed soon. There’s no reason to be talking about taking me to the vet.
