My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sidney is a young adult female bearded dragon, under 9 months old. She was owner surrendered to us because the son wasn’t taking care of her and she was “mean.” We got her here and into foster and immediately realized she had been neglected and more than likely abused. She was filthy dirty and smelled badly of cigarette smoke :( At first she was very scared and defensive but as she settled in and realized she was safe she is becoming easily handled and way more outgoing and friendly!

Sidney would do best with someone with beardie experience who can spend time with her everyday while she gets used to them. She is still a young girl and is still learning about the world around her! Shes getting better at catching bugs on her own and loves to sleep on her couch.

Bearded dragons are one of the top most loved reptiles in the hobby of keeping, they can be fun and rewarding, and not to mention long lasting friends if handled correctly. Bearded dragons do have special light requirements, they require a specific basking area and UVB bulb over the rest of the enclosure. Sidney is an omnivore, so she eats both plant and animal matter. She can eat an array of insects (dusted in calcium and fed gutloading gel or powder), greens, and fruit (use healthy and vitamin rich items!). We recommend paper towels, instead of loose substrate, as loose substrate such as sand or coco chor can cause impaction if accidentally consumed with prey.

Adoption fee is $50. If interested in adopting, our adoption application can be filled out here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html
