Italian Leatherback Bearded Dragons

These little beauties i am babysitting for 2 weeks whilst mummy n daddy go to orlando .
They are quite rare and rather expensive. Called leatherbacks coz they have totally different skins to the usual beardies like my Oscar. skin is smooth and when they mate you can produce silkbacks - scaleless which are even more rare and even more expensive.

hope ya like

I used to just dismiss these guy's until you came along Linny. I look at them slightly differently now though

thanks,
Any reason why you'd not touch them? they are not quite as smooth as snakes but have no bobbly bits like Oscar and the likes.

Forgot to say they are on sand and eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww i hate sand

! cant stand it, it gets between ya fingers and gets stuck in the carpet

. But thats what they are used to being on so wasnt fair to change them to beech chips. Just means George will have to clean them
