Martin the lizard arrived last week. We’d been preparing for him for a while. We got a fairly large glass terrarium for him, and set up lighting. Martin is a Bearded Dragon, a species from the dry inland of Australia. He needs warms temperatures, bight light that includes UV-B rays, and eats mostly live insects and worms.

He’s a very alert lizard. He’s behind where I sit at my desk at home, and every time I look, he seems to be staring at me. And he doesn’t stay still – he’ll shift his position, turn his head, but one eye is always pointed my way. It’s a little weird.
