Meet Albus!
Mr. Owens' classroom pet!
Albus The Bearded Dragon!
Say hello to our classroom pet Albus! Named after that spectacular head master of Hogwarts, Albus is a Beared Dragon. He came to our classroom in January of 2017 and was a few weeks old when he made his debut. Albus moved to Charlotte from the Australian Desert! He eats fruits and vegetables, but his favorite meal are crickets! That's right, he eats live crickets! Yum! Albus loves interacting with students, and sun bathing!
Albus Sheds his Skin!
Did you know that shedding skin is the sign of a healthy reptile? It's true! Albus sheds quite often since he is still growing! From nose to tip of the tail bearded dragons can grow to be 2 feet in length. Chances are you will get to witness Albus shedding his skin through the course of the school year! You may even get to examine his skin closely under a microscope in science class. Albus has graciously donated some of his skin to your science teachers!
