Why happy new year? Because Ace is pagan and Halloween is his new year :). But I'm doing this Trunker-Treat thing for my church, i think its a safe way of tricker-treating? Not sure as I've never done it, i wander around in random neighborhoods for my candy. After that I'll be going to Ace's mothers house for dinner and to help with candy duty. :)
Haven't seen my boys yet today, but i will after the trunker-treat thing :). Ivan is apparently doing a little better, which is good. I like spending time with them, Ace, Charizard, Tai and even Ivan when he behaves. He's not a bad lizard, he's just flighty and easily startled.

Bath Time
We gave Charizard a bath yesterday, very cute to watch him scuttle around in only an inch of water. At first he was kinda afraid to put his face near it and wouldn't let go of my hand, but then he was swimming or trying to. He's shedding on his face so he dunked his face and scratched real good. It was adorable, he did this for maybe 10 minutes, according to Lyn from Carolina Dragons he should have a 15 minute bath. But Charizard wouldn't stay in his bath after scratching most of the skin off so i didn't make him. He seemed to really like his bath though, which is good. Since more parts of him may shed soon I'm gonna give him baths more than once a week.
Oh! The water dragon has a name now, He's called Tai. And apparently Ivan may be much older than he thought, he may be 6 instead of like 2-3. I knew he wasn't in the best health when we got him, due to his ribs showing but he still hasn't gained much weight. He may have parasites. Really hope not, if he is an older Basilisk then he only has maybe 2-4 years left with us. And because he probably was wild caught and wasn't being fed properly i want the rest of his life to be better and hopefully he'll warm up to us a little more.

I caved
Yea i caved and applied to the Bojangles and McDonalds near me. I've been boycotting working there for multiple reasons:
- i hear they dont treat people well
- i'll get fat from eating their food
- standing around jobs hurt my knees
- pay isn't great, no tips

Shadow of the Collosus
So me an Ace went out to dinner at O'Charlies, i had the cajun noodle shrimp thing. It was awesome. I'm also applying there, i needs a job :p
Later after dinner for us at the restaurant and crickets for the lizards we had Charizard out. He likes to chill usually, but if he sees or thinks he sees something move he'll run after it. But Charizard and i were watching Ace fail at Shadow of the Collosus (he wasn't failing so much as learning the game by playing and doing about as well as i usually do). But Charizard crawled onto Ace's chest who was leaning on the couch on the floor, Charizard proceeded to nestle against Ace's chest and fall asleep. It was adorable. I picked Charizard up after a little bit and laid him on me, he nestled next to my neck and fell asleep there too. His cute napping habit was cut short by me having to go home and putting him back in his tank. I still feel a bit sorry for disturbing my poor dragons sleep, but i had to go home :/
btw, that happened last night :p

Ace's Site
Thats Ace's blog for our scaly pets, he's still fiddling with it and will put up more info and videos when he can. But go check it out, it'll probably be more entertaining than my rants or my little squee fests.

Been busy
Hay guys, sorry i havent posted (like you seem to care).
But i've had an eventful few weeks, dunno if i mentioned it but i'm dating (yay). But everythings good, were cleaning up his place since it was pretty messy (understandable considering the circumstances that i'm not going to talk about but it needs cleanings). That's what hasnt kept me from posting though, a few new additions has.
:D i have a Bearded Dragon, google them, their badass (note the ones in the picture are fancy dragons, bred for those colors). I'd been contemplating getting one, since i technically do have enough money. But decided that i should wait till i have a job, cause i know little guys eat a shit ton. However, Ace felt bad because i didn't have the cash to buy one and buy all the necessary stuff for one, so he secretly contacted Carolina Dragons. I have deemed him an awesome boyfriend for doing so, because he didnt have to.
I named my beardi Charizard, specificly ash's charizard from pokemon. His coloring reminds me of one as does his attitude towards veggies, he doesn't want to eat any but we know he likes them. Though crickets are his main diet. He's such a sweet lizard, very friendly and easy to handle. He does like to run after fast moving objects though, whether there crickets or not he'll skitter almost off the couch if were not paying enough attention to him.
Charizard came from Carolina Dragons, based in Charlotte. His particular coloring is I think called Sunkist. Or that's what his mother's name was, I know his dad is fucking huge with a blood red face. I wanted one from Carolina Dragons not necessarily for the awesome colors (they are nice, but I'd be happy with any beardi) but for healthy genes. The Petsmart's near us had good looking dragons but I wanted to make sure, and I recently heard that bearded dragons are actually protected in the wild so I didn't want a dragon from the wild.
We also have a brown basilisk named Ivan the Terrible. It suits him so much, you have no idea. He's a mean fucking lizard. Ace put a leash on him and took to petsmart the other day though, he now is missing a chunk out of his thumb. Ivan didn't mind so much the second time though. We think he may just get cranky when he's hungry.
Thats an Ivan, he's not nearly as pretty though. Ivan is to our knowledge almost full grown, and were recently discovering he has been under fed and malnourished for some time. I'm tempted to contact the pet store he came from and let them know the proper diet for him in case they get another Basilisk.
We have also recently acquired a Chinese Water Dragon, he doesn't have a name yet. But he seems to be incredibly narcoleptic, he fell asleep on everything when he was brought home apparently.
Thats generaly what he looks like, though ours is prettier in my opinion. I'll let you guys know what his name is when we decide on one. Also! Ace is probably going to do a blog about all of our reptilian pets, and maybe his badass fish (he has them). I'll mention it when he gives me a link for the blog :).
But thats all for now guys.
