Today is the day Bella came home with us.
With as many years to her name as Smalley, at 54cm in length and weighing in at a whopping 926g Bella is an old, fat bearded dragon. She is also a real character. In one afternoon she’s moved home, snuggled happily on the sofa, been prodded, stroked, weighed and measured and happily clambered around her enclosure.
She’s also made a little boy’s dream come true. A little boy who has moved his bed so he can lie near her tonight. And who has settled down for the night muttering “I can’t believe I get to keep her. I can’t believe she’s really mine.”
At 10 years old she’s pretty advanced for a beardie so it’s hard to know quite how this journey will go. But she’s here, she’s active, she’s fascinating and she’s cheered Smalley’s heart. 💚
