Note to Self - Buy LARGE crickets!!!

Well, as expected, Drake the Bearded Dragon has grown.  Technically, he is still growing even after the time we were expecting him to quit growing. We feed him crickets (dusted with calcium), lettuce, kale, watermelon, banana and mango.  He obviously thrives on this diet. We have learned to respect him when he is hungry. Once when I was hand-feeding banana, he must have mistaken my finger for a larger portion of banana - and bit my finger!  It broke the skin and was uncomfortable for a day or so, but after treating with hydrogen peroxide & lots of soap suds, I survived.  We now hand-feed with a large yellow plastic pair of tweezers.
