First Beard
So Charizard had his first black beard yesterday. We had Winston out and the old man decided he wanted to walk around a bit. He hopped off the couch onto the floor next to Charizards tank is (unfortunately we dont have any stands or enough tables to put a 29L on or a 20L). Charizard looked over sat him and puffed up like a balloon, and his beard turned jet black. We laughed a minute before Charizard started head bobbing at a dragon twice his size, then retrieved Winston. Charizard settled down a bit later, his beard stayed black for a while. Hes good now, we had them both out later and neither one made a move towards dominating one another. Charizard was probably saying that this was his turf.

Water Dragon Wackyness
Ok, I have to be honest. I'm not sure if I spelled Wackyness correctly. Part of me wants to put an 'i' where the 'y' is, and then a part of me thinks that the first part of me is stupid for even trying that.
Moving On! So, we got another water dragon for Tai, and we moved them into a 55g tank. They love it. They're already eating, and it's overall a great environment for them. The water below contains feeder fish, as well as 2 of my pet fish that should be fine in the tank. Here's a video:
EDIT: Turns out, it's actually spelled 'wackiness'. Looks like that part of me isn't so dumb after all.

They're eating now, so that's a good thing. Their lack of appetite was caused by tank stress. Anyways, yeah, it's an awesome tank. Also, we bought Charizard a rock. He hasn't used it yet.
Winston is being an ass, as usual, but he's eating now, so that's good.

Rescue
So forever ago when we picked up Ivan from the mount holly pet store we saw an adult beardie. Well i visited them a few days ago and he was still there, in worse condition than when we last saw him. So we picked him up today. He is now called Winston and is warming up in a temporary 20L.
His condition is much poorer than we previously though, besides being filthy he is very under weight. The only fat on him his his tail and thunder thighs. The fat pads in his head are depleted and he has no beardie belly. The pet shop usually took ok care of the animals they had, but snakes dont need food every day like a bearded dragon does. He may not have been eating though, either way we hope to get some weight back on him.
Every one else is doing good, fat and happy. Tai may or may not be burmating. We thought he was and now were not so sure. We will be getting a 20 gal from a friend<?> or ex of Ace's. Ashe had borrowed a tank and she cant keep it anymore so we'll be picking it up. I think the 2 un-named itty bittys will go in that so Black Beard can have the 10 gal to himself till he gets bigger. So far nobodys missing toes or any nips of any sort. My itty bitty has also stopped arm waving :)

Wow... Long Time No See
Yeah, it's been a while. We've been very busy, but we're back on schedule and should be posting daily, if not more often. We will have pictures, as soon as my phone completes its charging cycle and I can get them on. We've got alot of good ones, and they'll get posted. Also, for those readers who enjoyed the video feed, unfortunately there is something wrong with it. The video feed will not be up until I finish building our server desktop computer.
In other news: We're working on getting new shelving put up for the tanks, as well as a few other additions to the family. Just to bring you up to speed, we adopted two tiny bearded dragons from Petsmart, and then a third a couple weeks ago. Everyone's eating, drinking, shedding, and defecating properly, so everything looks pretty good.
We're going to Repticon on January 8th and 9th in Charlotte, North Carolina! Come see us!
