Mango 
Bearded Dragon

Background information
Mango was purchased in a pet store, by a grandfather (R) for his 10 yo grandson's (M) birthday when Mango was a baby.

 

1st Conversation: Sept 11th, 2025

Maryann: How are you doing?

Mango: I'm okay. I miss the pet store. They (staff) were there all the time. I mean I was there for a short time, because I was a baby. I think I liked the atmosphere there more than here. I think they (R & M) are trying really hard but they don't know what I need. I need more light during the day because sometimes, I get cold. I also need more food during the day, both crickets and veggies. Sometimes the give me kibble but I don't like it. I'm afraid I'll die with out more food. R is very kind and so is M. I need more food because I'm growing so fast. Please tell them.

Maryann: I will tell him tonight.
Mango: Thank you so much.

I checked in to see how Mango was doing.

Mango: I'm much better. They are taking much better care of me. M is trying really hard. I think he was upset when he found out I wasn't doing well. He's a nice boy. Tell him that for me please. R is also nice. Thanks for

I ran into R December 5th. He told me they got Mango a much bigger tank which they moved into the living room area. R noticed Mango seems to like all the activity as he responds and follows the activity. He's also gotten much bigger!

Mango: I'm glad you came by. Things are much better and I'm much happier. They moved me to a place where there is lots going on. They also play with me. They take me out of the tank and put me on the floor a lot now. I'm not afraid of the dogs. They don't hurt me. I think that is all I have to tell you right now. Bye!
