That’s what the trees were for! But yeah, someone managed to dodge all that.
If this was a typical thing, I probably would, but I’m not too worried about repeat instances. I also am fortunate to have a crawlspace under my home, so they’d be hitting the bricks & rebar before they get to my windows.
However, with those larger stupid trucks I often see, neither a boulder nor a brick barrier would matter much.
Listen: if the alien can’t manage to get out of some curtains, they were not meant for this world.
I personally prefer interesting creatures over vehicular trespassing, so it’s understandable.
Bearded dragons typically only poop every few days or even once a week! So it’s not like a daily thing, unless there’s something going on with their health or they’ve drank/eaten more than usual (they WILL try to eat as many insects as possible, if given the opportunity!). Plus, it’s not like a dog-sized poop or anything, but it is pretty loose and nasty, admittedly.
They can’t really be trained to poop in specific places, which is why a lot of owners use the bathtub method. Just fill up the tub/container a bit with warm water (usually it’s enough so that they are submerged up to the base of their tail), put your dragon in, and within a few seconds to minutes, you have a freshly emptied dragon! Just drain/dump the poopy water, and you don’t have to worry about poop on your floors, blankets, yourself, etc.!
Your kindness warms my heart. It means a lot to hear it be said. Thank you!
He’s a brave boy, and he got to watch the pretty lights of the police cars as they directed traffic, so he was pretty pleased.
Have you given thanks that your home hasn’t been run into by a car today? 🙏
He has his own enclosure, too! But poop really isn’t as issue. They telegraph pretty clearly when they’re about to poop. They’ll move around more frantically before they do, do the classic slight tail lift + butt wiggle, and then decimate everything let it all out. If you’re paying attention, you’ll usually catch them before they stink up your floors.
Water actually triggers their poop reflex, too! So owners often soak their dragons in the tub to have them poop before letting them roam.
Their poop can be pretty nasty, to be sure. Never pooped on his own back directly, but he has done things like walk through it, or fall off his basking platform into it. It’s absolutely possible that your dragon fell into it while climbing.
To be fair, if he poops in his enclosure, my dragon will run away from it and frantically claw at the glass (also called glass-surfing) until I clean it up. He HATES having poop in his enclosure!
Same. Invasive species. Ick!
Distracted driving & running a stop sign!
That’s a flat rock used for basking! It’s supposed to be a bit more off-center from the heat lamp so that it doesn’t get too hot, but he loves to flatten out/pancake on a warm rock.
I try to leave nature in the wild where it belongs. 🙏
You okay? How many fingers am I holding up?
He responded with a confused head tilt and licked a cardboard tube.
I apparently don’t speak cat very well, so interpret that how you will.
911 look at this dude 😎
Well
This makes me extra thankful.
Bearded dragons absolutely have a knack for stupid reaction faces!
I’m sure someone will find a way to drive right over / through them.
Considering the damage they did to the other car involved (you can see their trunk popped open behind the wannabe monster truck), I’m sure they’ll be paying in some way or another. They’re certainly not getting away with it without significant consequences!
I just had some grass & a few flowers torn up, so I’m very fortunate. Not looking to weaponize the system against them. Just want the folks who suffered the actual damages to get paid. Hopefully this teaches the distracted driver a valuable lesson!
