Pogona - type of Bearded Dragon

My grandson, the little nature saver...

caught this after our dogs had chased it and the poor little Agamidae couldn't move anymore and was petrified. After holding it for a while so it could have a rest, he released it again in our garden, somewhere with lots of trees and bushes.

We could have kept it as a pet but Justin is just not old enough yet to take care of it by himself, there is a certain responsibility and we don't want all the work to fall back onto Mam

It is a valuable lesson to be a nature conservator. Cute grandson.

I am glad there are little people like your grandson in the world ... that's an interesting critter and I'm glad he gave it a rest and put it somewhere it could feel safe. Nice kid!
