My new pet

On Sunday my dad took me to PetSmart to get a new pet.A lizard!This is Norbert the bearded dragon. I named my beardie[they are also called beardies]Norbert because if you are familiar with Harry Potter, you would know that Norbert is the name of Hagrid's pet dragon.They are called bearded dragons, so I named it Norbert.If you are wondering why I don't say he, or she , its's because Norbert is a baby beardie and when they are babies you can't tell their gender.Bearded dragons are originated from Australia[they live in the desert] therefore, we need to get Norbert a warm light, so Norbert feels like he is in the desert.We are using my dad's tank to make a habitat for Norbert.There are two lights, on the left, there is the ceramic heater for warmth in the night.The one on the right is the light used during the day.I even decorated Norbert's enclosure to make it look more like a desert area.

Here is a picture of Norbert by his basking log.Norbert might seem small but in about a year he will be at least 61cm.long.
