livingart Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 no it is not a reference to a beardie under going a spiritual revelation got offered a young, one eyed beardie that sold on the auction site for an over the top price at a greatly reduced price so took it on when we recieved it i noticed that the eye was still moving under the eyelid but the lid wouldn't open tried moistening to prise lids apart but no go as the beardie was too young and small to exert much pressure had to feed lots of live food, locusts etc into the terrarium as it could only see from one side a few weeks down the track, a skin shed and now that it has grown some more i could handle it better tried again and was able to manipulate the eyelids open to find a fully functional eye underneath so we will have to change its name from Odin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 yes was a funny auction, went for big money and then offered back at a reduced price apparently the buyer wasn't setup to feed a young beardie properly so seller was more concerned to get it a good home it has been said that i was an idiot for "paying more then market price for a one eyed beardy" by someone without all the facts it is a nice fat little beardie now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 i caught a few small ones in a net and put them in his cage didn't realise the big one was in there too he went straight at it chewed up the wings then ate the whole thing he is catching things better since opening the other eye might go to show that being one eyed means you miss out on somethings in life:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
