dragons first day out

[phill81]

its been a while since i was last on here,but here goes i decided to go round the shops today and thought i would take my dragon with me,it was a five min trip which turned into just over an hour. i sat him on my shoulder and he stayed but as soon as i got into the main part of town people started to notice and would stop me to find out more about him, everyone loved him wanted photos etc great pulling magnet for the ladies lol, i knew bearded dragans were popular but not this much, the only problem i had was when i went into a food store and was about to pay for my things a manager came over and said you cant have that in here, so i said i was just about to be served  and its not like i can just tie him up out side like a dog. so he kicked me out ,but a member of staff came over and said if i give here the money for my products and wait outside she would pay for them which was good, so to cut a long storie short my dragon loved it.

Im looking forward to when my guy gets bigger so I can take him out with me. He is still young and curious so eventually he tries to wander off lol.

mine is only ten months old and he is still tryin to escape make sure you have good reactions because once they go they are super fast and you cant stop them trust me ,mine got spooked at 6 months old out side and hid in a hole in the wall and took me 3 hours to get him out so be warned they can move like lightening lol

first day i had my dragon i had him out of his cage in my room and when he seen the window and light he was gone he hit that window at full force and got stuck in between the blinds and the windows. he didn't get hurt he just wanted out. i have not brought him out side yet due to the fear of him ruining away. mine is still a baby she is only 7 inches long.

I take mine out whenever it is nice enough, but I always use a harness.  I feel much better knowing that he can not suddenly jump and run, and he did get used to it very quickly, especially once he realized that when I put it on it means he gets to go outside.

where can i get a harness from, i live in England but can not find one anywhere

I'm just using a Ferret harness (or harness for small animals) and find it works very well.  You should be able to get them at any pet store, or if you can't PM me and we can maybe see if I could get one and send it your way. I actually sent you a PM with the link to see what mine looks like.
