    Relocating a bearded dragon

    Theres a bearded dragon living somewhere in the garden bed near my front door, and the little bugger has decided my front steps are an idea place for him to warm up first thing in the morning

    I dont really mind him being around, but as i try not to disturb him, i usually skip the bottom step where he sits when he's there..... he's actually figured out that I'm not much of a threat and usually just sits there while i step over him

    HOWEVER......

    this morning, i stepped over him, and as he was off to one side of the step, i went the other way, put my foot down on the edge of the path and well..... over i went.....

    atm, i cant put any weight on my left foot, should probably have gone to the hospital to get it checked out (heard the crunch as my ankle rolled, and it still ****ing hurts.....)

    so.....

    how do i encourage him to sun himself elsewhere?

    Can you caught it? if yes what he needs is a place with a nice rock and a hole to be his home.
    They are nice reptiles. How big it is?
    I hope that you get well soon

    he's about 40cm long.....

    atm i'm considering a sandstone slab in the middle of the front yard, but i think it might be a concern for him given the abundance of magpies, etc

    Kookaburras are the problem, try to place the stone under a bush so he have the chance to see if it is all clear
    just dig a smal hole and then place the slab on the top so he have his home there.

    digging a hole for something to hide around here is inviting reptiles of the legless variety.....

    In the meantime; get your ankle looked at - the xray won't take long at all. I'd be happy to look at it...if you're in Sydney!

    ankle seems to be reasonably fine considering its got 130-odd kg of bat fastard running around on it...... bit painfull on the base of the heel in the mornings, but i think thats more a problem with plantar fasciitis than the ankle injury
