Howdy, folks! (beehaw.org)

Pączki is a silkback / scaleless bearded dragon. Because of this, he is a "special needs" animal and will require extra care for the rest of his life.

Please do not purchase or support the breeding of scaleless bearded dragons! It makes their lives much more difficult, and most do not make it to adulthood due to their extra needs and often poor health.

Pączki was adopted from a breeder for a tiny fee + shipping. He was produced accidentally and the breeding pair he came from were no longer bred after they found him.

I have extensive experience with bearded dragons, so even though I did not go out looking to adopt a silkback, the opportunity popped up and I accepted my fate.

I love my dumb dumb Pączki so darn much.

Thank you!

Clothes can get snagged in his environment/enclosure, unfortunately. So for the sake of safety, he is not wearing any when I am not supervising him.

They are so dumb. They will find ways to get into the stupidest situations.

That aside, bearded dragons bask under heatlamps that output between 95°F – 120°F (35°C – 49°C). So, long term, clothes would not be safe at those temps, either!

But, man, that's a great idea in theory.

Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!
