Ours is about the same size! You know since we got him we talk to lots of different people at pet and reptile stores about how they take care of their own lizards because this was our first pet let alone a lizard.. Everyone but the vet told us he will be fine unless he has something more...

I know, our Rusty is just the most interesting little guy!! It's so adorable! They sound a lot alike. Rusty likes to fall asleep in my boyfriend's shirt at night, which is a better time to pick him up anyway because he isn't trying to scamp around as much. :blob8:

so damn cute

We have a 5 month old, my boyfriend thinks when he comes to the front of the tank he wants to come out, but I kind of think it's just him going to the front of the tank. However you can definitely tell if he feels like being approached or not.. as long as you can tell when he/she is tense and...

so cute!!

We think he is about 5 months, the place we got him from 2 months ago said he was about 3 months. He is such a champ. We can't even remember what life was like before we got him.

I'm not sure, I just made it to put pictures of him up. I will fix.

He's the greatest. http://www.tumblr.com/blog/candorf

Thank you, he seems to be okay, so I'm not going to worry too much about it for now. It really freaked me out when he started waving strangely, I will look out to see if he starts avoiding that arm. Poor lil dude, we put a block up on the top so he can't do it again, I swear he was looking to...

So I was sitting near Rusty's (5 months old) tank having lunch, he somehow managed to climb up on to the roof of his enclosure (like upside down) and, of course, he came falling right now on to his basking rock. I know with children, falls always look worse than they are but as soon as he sat...

Thank you so much, I will find out what his levels are and pm her. That is one of the questions the vet wasn't clear on. He is about 3 1/2-4 months old and about 11in from nose to tail, 40g. I figure a smallish otherwise healthy little guy like him shouldn't be loaded up with medication. I don't...

So we took Rusty to the vet a little while ago, vet said he looked really healthy, he eats and poops like a champ. He hides and basks and runs around and swims and eats salad and seems happy. The vet called today and told us that he has Isospora coccidia and pinworms. She wants to put him on...

Thank you, I am too, I was literally unable to sleep worrying about him. Just reading other people's problems with pooping, I would never wait more than 3 or 4 days before worrying about him not pooping! Imagine how uncomfortable that is! Come on people imagine you were constipated for up to 2...

Rusty didn't poop for 2 days, this is after we started feeding him as many crickets as he could eat in one day (usually about 9) but I think a couple of them were too big for his digestives system. So we called the vet and asked what we should do. She said only feed him greens until he starts...
