Sunbaking

Whenever they can spare some time in their busy schedules, Jack and Ivy love to chill out and catch some rays. They don't get much access to sunlight in their terrarium, so whenever possible they venture to the window sill in the study and bask in the warmth. I may have to investigate the possibility of getting some lizard coconut oil to help them develop their tans...

Hi Jack!

I thought this was a cute pic of Jack, peering over Aaron's hand. This perspective also gives you a good view of the shape of their heads - hence the name Angle Headed Dragon. :)

Rock-a-bye Baby in the Tree Tops....

Another pic of Jack sleeping...just because he is so cute!!
He seems to love cuddling up to the stick at the front of the terrarium...doesn't look very comfy to me, but he likes it!

Just Because...

I am just posting this photo because I like it. This was the day I had to be home for the plumbers to fix our bathroom, so I was killing time by playing with the babies...

Weigh In Time - 3

Well another month has passed, and you know what that means...weigh in time!!
Jack and Ivy have upgraded their diet from small to medium sized crickets, and they have been eating more cockroaches lately as well.
All of this eating as led to a lot of growth, as the following pictures demonstrate...
Jack weighing in at a massive 10grams. Fatty boombalada!
Jack, measuring approximately 14-15cm in length.
Ivy weighing in at a slightly lighter 9grams.

Ivy measuring approximately 16-17cm in length.
So as you can see, while Jack is still a bit of a fatty compared to Ivy, the Ivestar has caught up in length and her tail seems to be a bit longer than Jack's.

They spent the afternoon basking in the sun today and were quite hard to catch to put back in their terrarium because they were full of energy. Lizard energy = lots of running and jumping!!
