My nails are always brightly coloured and Reggie has never appeared to notice them, until I wore lime green - then he started to show a distinct interest in them. Not fear though - I definitely got the impression he was building up to taking a bite! :lol:

I buy live locusts and decant them into their own viv with bug gel and plenty of greens to eat. Normally they stay alive until eaten, however this extremely hot and humid weather we have had in the UK doesn't seem to suit them - my local supplier says it is hard to keep them alive at the moment...

Sorry to hear about your problems with USPS, must be very frustrating! We moan about the mail in the UK, but on the whole they do seem to be more reliable than the services you guys get. Good luck with Ava's appointment - hope the vet manages to get the blood test this time. Just wanted to let...

It did give me a giggle Wolfy - I can just imagine the scene! Reminds me of a friend who bought a little boy rabbit and had to take him to the vet because she thought he had grown a tumour in his abdomen. And the vet kindly explained that the 'lumps' were in fact the rabbit's testicles. :oops...

Lovely picture of you both! 8) I've been reading this thread and the story of Lexi and am in awe of the care that you have given these little guys, well done to you all! I love the video of him being fed with the syringe - I have to ask, was I the only one licking my lips whilst watching...

I saw some babies in our reptile shop yesterday too - they were tiny! Hard to believe they grow into such bruisers! :lol: Love Linda's name by the way - my husband is a big Linda Lusardi fan so thought it was very clever ( :roll: ) :D

I popped into my local pet shop today and wasn't impressed - 3 very tired/dead looking geckos in a viv and boxes of dead locusts and mealworms :( So I headed over to South Wigston where I thought I may have seen a reptile shop. I remembered correctly - hurray! - so went in. Wow! Lots of...

Thats really sad, I'm so sorry :( Poor little girl must have had an awful time, but thank goodness you found her and gave her some love and comfort in the end. xx

That is so cool! I wouldn't need so many pets with that kind of wildlife in my garden! 8)

He can certainly move when he wants to, but seems to chose not to! Quite happy to soak up the rays and watch the world go by 8) Had to laugh at him tonight - I've taken most of the fake rocks and grasses out of his tank (everything smelled really bad) and just left his basking log and a...

Hi and welcome Hayden! :D Your beardie sounds very cute - bet you can't wait to meet him! So when you say you have caught and released western fence lizards, a skink and an alligator lizard, were they in your back yard? Must be lovely to have that sort of wildlife in your yard! We only have...

I know! :roll: We did have a warm spell this afternoon so put him into the tray from one of those indoor guinea pig runs and put that on the trampoline with my sons guarding him. He was quite happy to just lie there and soak up the sun. Then when the breeze got up, he came in and spent the...

Yes I quite like the locusts too - bonus pets! :lol: I've ordered them a 7 litre tank so hoping that will be enough :D

Thank you! :D He is about 14 months old, so fully grown (I assume!). I must weigh and measure him to see how he compares - I have no idea if he a small, medium or large boy :lol: He goes a very pretty shade of yellow when he's happy 8)

Thanks! :D I'm in the east midlands, near to Leicester - plenty of small independant pet shops and the usual Petsrus (or whatever they are called these days!) There is also a Realm of Reptiles - there are 3 around here, but not so close that they are very handy if you see what I mean...
