Our Bearded Dragon Family

A little over a year ago, Trever received two pet Bearded Dragons for his birthday. It didn't take us long to fall in love with "Kilo" and "Kila". They had brought us so much joy and laughter that we knew quickly a third one was destined to join our dragon family.

We wanted this third one to be unique. It was equally important that it be another female that would happily share a home with Kila and Kilo. After a few visits to Ron & Donna's (Ron's Reptiles; Chico, CA) we set our eyes on a feisty and resilient dragon named "Corkscrew". We were drawn to her immediately as she was of similar age and yet a different demeanor and breed than our existing pair.

Imagine Trever's excitement when he discovered there were not 2 but now 3 dragon's living in his room!

How did we name them?

Kilo: Short for Kilimanjaro, since he is always climbing to get to the highest peak
Kila: Named after one of Trev's favorite movies; Akeelah and the Bee
Corkscrew: Named after a unique "corkscrew" characteristic in her tail caused by a "tussel" with a dragon in her previous home.
