Default Houten 06/04/08

Just wanted to know everyone that went's experiences with Houten today ..
I really enjoyed it, although disaters just stuck where my "female" beardie has turned out to be male, well im not very good at sexing them but from across the room they can see each other and they are putting on their black beard displays and head bobbing from across the room, even to me.. So i am now looking for a 36" by 24" by 24" or a 48" by 24/18" by 18" (although this is not the section to post that!)
Ive put a sheet across so they cannot see each other for now, so disapointed after a day of travelling!!
On the plus side i thought the show was really really good and i got a pair of beautiful baby collard lizards which i will post pics of in the week

hamm was amazing plus when you go with t.barn and pure jarrasic you dont have to queue. How old is the beardie? bummer him being male, i suppose you wanted to breed the other with her (now a him)

dont know, after a family discussion we have decided to sell on the new beardie to a reptile shop near us. Everyones absolutly gutted but it seems there is no other way really.
Im already attatched to him/her although it does have something about it that makes it seem a little freaky, really hard to explain. Just by looking at it you can almost see it plotting away! (I say with it looking at me!)
