Shrek and Fiona were delivered to me on the 5th August, 2006. They are about 4 weeks old. They loved exploring their new vivarium, and quickly made themselves at home. They were chasing and eating crickets within minutes. Although very young they are starting to show they have individual characters. Shrek likes the hot end of the vivarium best, and has spent most of his first day basking on the wood. Fiona is the adventurous one, and loves to explore and climb the plants. They do like each other's company, and from time to time come together for a chat! These pictures below were taken on their first day with me. They are about 5 inches long at the moment (including their tail)!

Bearded dragons grow and change at a very rapid rate - almost daily there seems to be a change. The picture on the left was taken just one week after thepcitures above (approx 7 weeks of age). Shrek's head has become much broader, and he is starting to look like a bearded dragon rather than any other lizard. His limbs are starting to thicken up and to get that slightly chubby look that adult dragons have.

Shrek and Fiona have now been with us for 4 weeks, and are 8 weeks old. Fiona is now 8 1/2 inches long, and Shrek 8 !/4 inches. Compare these pictures to the ones at the top of the page to see how much they have grown! No losing them now in the vivarium! They are getting on very well together. They are eating crickets and veg well, and Fiona likes to bathe in the water (Shrek isn't so keen!). They do not arm wave quite so much nowadays though.

Now 2 1/2 months old, and having bee with us for 6 weeks, Shrek and Fiona have grown again. Fiona is longer, now being 11 inches, and Shrek slightly shorter at 10 1/2 inches. Shrek has a slightly stockier body.
Apart from having grown a lot, their colours are really starting to show now. Shrek is a lovely green and gold colour, and Fiona more tan and orange. They are starting to look very different now as can be seen from the pictures below.
They are incredibly friendly, and seem to enjoy coming out of the vivarium!

Taking on more and more adult characteristics now, Shrek and Fiona at 3 months old have started puffing out their beards and looking more like bearded dragons.

At four and a half months old Shrek has now overtaken Fiona in size and is 15 inches to her 14 1/2. They are definitely male and female - Shrek looks decidely male, as you can see from the picture above left. His colour is getting more and more pronounced. Whilst not so colourful, Fiona (above right and to the left) has lovely markings.
Shrek demonstrates head bobbing quite a lot now, and Fiona responds by arm waving.

April 2007. Shrek and Fiona are now 9 months old. Shrek is about 17 inches long, and Fiona about 16. Fiona went off eating for a couple of weeks in her first winter and lost a bit of ground.
Shrek is definitely very male, with a proud beard and large head. Fiona has a much more delicate heard and very pretty markings on her body.
Neither had shed during the winter, but both are starting to shed again now (see the duller marks on Shrek's body on the picture to the left - he is just about to shed on his upper back and legs).
Shrek and Fiona are very companionable - obviously there is a tendency to humanise them, but Shrek often sits with his 'arm' protectively round Fi, but she also likes to maintain physical contact with him as the pics below show!

I've got yer!
Shrek and Fiona are twelve months old now. Shrek is the biggest, measuing 18 inches in length, and Fiona is an inch shorter at 17 inches. Shrek is about twice as wide as Fi as well as you can see from the photos! They are both colouring up beautifully, their best colours appearing just after their favourite meal of locusts.
Fiona likes digging, and deep holes in the sand can often be seen, but there is no sign of any sexual activity as yet.
Shrek will head bob, and Fiona will arm wave back. If we head bob back at Shrek he will stop himself and looks a bit put out.
They are very friendly as you can see, happy to sit on my shoulders! They do have sharp claws though, and can give me a nasty scratch!
They'll be fully grown in about another six months.

One year old - Shrek and Fiona celebrate their birthdays!
Christmas 2006. Shrek and Fiona are 6 months old, and for Christmas received leashes as a present! They took a while to get used to these at first, but then were happy dragging me all over the house! Unfortunately they like to explore in different directions so taking them out is a two person job! I was hoping that in the summer I could take them outside, but the summer to come in 2007 didn't offer a lot of opportunities to walk them in the garden!
