    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

"Bert and Ernie"

female tangerine hypo x red/gold sandfire/peach hypo

6" long, hatched 5-15-08

$25,000

Bert and Ernie are very special little dragons. They are identical twins who failed to separate properly during embryonic development. They hatched at Valley Dragon Ranch on May 15, 2008. Imagine our surprise! We were told that they would not live more than a week...but a year later, they are alive and thriving! Bert and Ernie have been featured in our local newspaper The Courier, as well as state, national, and global news. Both heads are fully functional, and both heads love to eat...although "Ernie" is the more dominant head. This is a little something special for the serious collector!

Serious inquiries only, please!

Jamie, is this dragon a co dom for 2 headedness or is it a recessive trait?


Just kidding good luck with your sale!!
 
they are passing this trait on, then a generation down from that it occurs again, sounds like past inbreeding may be the reasoning. JMO
cool though! and it is thriving, which is cooler!
 
They are still tiny. The hatched small, and have continued to v-e-r-y slowly grow. Despite the small size, they are doing great! Unlike other two-headeds I have heard about, they actually have the ability to hunt their own food.
 
honestly you should contact ripleys. the lady on beardeddragon.or with the adult two headed dragon was offered somewere around 100 grand for her beardie though she turned it down cause they are her children

What!?!?!?!? She's insane.
 
why would she be insanse. she has had the beardie for 3 or so years and loves it like family. if you had a dog that was your hole life and someone offered you 50 grand for him you would just say by fido?
maybe she is a different person than we are.
if i had a two headed beardie and someone offered me that much id sell it in a heartbeat but i dont see animals as my children i see them as my animals. this lady considers this beardie her child. you can call her crazy for not selling. apparently she did not need the money and loved the animal too much to sell it.

on a side note as i said if it was me i would have hand delivered the beardie to ripleys and requested cash lol.
 
Out of curiosity Valley Dragons, why after you have had these quote "special little dragons" for a year, would you decide to sell them?

Do you not have an emotional connection to them?

Of course there is emotional attachment...that is to be expected with anything that you raise for a year. But I guess I am a "big picture" kind of a person, and I have goals and dreams that I plan to attain. My husband and I just bought 10 acres outside of the city with the hopes of building a separate facility for the reptiles in the near future. $25,000 would speed things along quite a bit!

Jamie :)
 
I guess I could understand the situation more clearly if it were an antique or a car you were selling. This is a living breathing creature we are talking about.

Are you not afraid of them ending up in the wrong hands and being exploited or mistreated? I would be worried about the undue stress it would cause them after a year of being with you, to have to start all over again with someone new.

I'm sure it takes a special kind of person to love and take care of a miracle(in my eyes) such as Bert and Ernie. I also have a bearded dragon and there isn't a dollar amount in this world that could take her away from me and believe me I have big dreams too. I guess my priorities are a little different than others!

This is just my opinion....take it for what's it's worth!

Hmmm...I'm assuming that if someone is actually willing to drop $25,000 on a lizard, then that person would probably be willing to provide proper care to ensure that Bert and Ernie live...just a thought.

Jamie :)
 
no matter what at the end of the day those of us that breed dragons sell dragons. its not that we dont care for them or about them. but there is no way to keep every dragon we hatch out. i think that valley did the correct thing by keeping this dragon for a while because im sure valley wanted to make certain of the two headed beardies health. you wouldnt want to sell it to someone as a hatchling and it die due to not being able to survive with two heads. and the large price tag will keep anyone who cant care for it out of the market on this animal. no reason to attack valley's reasons. valley is a breeder this is what those of us that breed do.

also valley here is the contact info for Ripley's corporate if you want to contact them. i can almost garuntee it would have a good life in one of their aquarium facilities.
