Okay, so it took a little longer than expected to get some time. Let's see...oh yes, the update.
Godzilla is growing!! He's just finished shedding again. Though he is still a teeny little bugger. And he's decided he really doesn't like his greens. Crickets and dubia - they stand no chance in his enclosure. He also has a new favorite hobby...teasing the dogs and the cat. It's so funny! He'll dance all the way across the front as long as they follow him, but if they stop, he goes back and dances in front of them. He's learning that he likes to be out of the enclosure. We have to be careful though, everyone has to either be in a different room or outside because he is a jumper! He's got some gorgeous color coming through also.
Sansa is doing great. She's just finished shedding also. She's getting better about being handled, but she's still a little skittish. Lovin' those worms though. She's grown a good bit, we'll have to get a new pic up. Her eyesight seems to still be improving, except for that pesky depth perception. Lately, she's decided she likes her greens....dry. Dry like, it is time to change them out kind of dry. She'll check them out several times while they are in there, but she won't eat them until the last minute. It's nuts! She is the alarm clock for dinner time. When it is time to eat, she will run to the front of her enclosure and just stare. Sometimes, it's kind of scary. lol
Caoimhe is huge (compared to what she was). She is about to go into shed again, I can't wait to see those gorgeous colors all bright and pretty again. She's eating like crazy! Most of the bugs don't even hit the floor before she's gobbled them up. And worms - she loves her supers! She's funny about them too. She'd rather eat them out of the tweezers than having them dropped into the enclosure. She's even tried to grab the tweezers when we didn't move them quick enough. Yeah, she knows.... lol She's eating her greens like crazy too. I like to keep greens in there when they are awake, so normally I will refill her bowl when I see it empty during the day. Lately she's been getting 3 - 4 a day. I feel like we overfeed her, but Jonathan says she won't overeat on greens....? Her favorite spot in the house is still on Jonathan's head. I think she has got to be the quirkiest one.
Inigo, oh my goodness, Inigo. Where to start. He isn't losing any weight now. But he still isn't eating well. He won't touch his crickets or dubia at all. Occassionally he will eat a super or two. He doesn't really put up a fight to come out anymore, but he doesn't take too well to anyone but me. Unless we go outside and then he would just as soon eat every one of us than come back inside. We're trying to get the funds together to take him to the vet (we're in the middle of job swapping, etc.) because he just seriously worries me. He lost quite a bit of weight. Also, maybe one of you guys knows something about this. Any time I hold Inigo, and only Inigo, I get these little bumps on my hand and sometimes something that looks kind of like a blister but goes away usually overnight. Is that something that could be wrong with him, like mites or something, or maybe just an allergy for me? It's only been happening a little while.
Well, that's about it. The CWD is doing good. Growing well. Loving the supers. Ducky, the basilisk, is doing well. We have 2 crested geckos now, Dolly and Mr. Green. Jonathan brought home a steppe runner. The tortoise is just hanging out, and eating also as many greens and worms as Caoimhe. We're hoping to sell some of the rescue leos at the reptile show next weekend.
Shannon,
It has been crazy around here!! Changing jobs, changing internet... Glad to be back though and hopefully this time we can not disappear!
Deb,
So sorry to hear abuot Lonzo. I do hope this tank rest won't have to last too long! And I don't really have that much patience, just a bleeding heart for animals in need. Hopefully we can thin the herd some with adoptions. At least with the leos and the puppies. Especially the puppies!! It's really good to hear you are all doing well. I really hope Lonzo is feeling better soon.
HappiDragon,
Thank you!! We're hoping to update the enclosures with some new doors soon, so we'll try to get pics up if we can get that done.
Have a great night (or day as it may be) everyone!
Stephanie
I hope you guys enjoy the pics.
