Awww he looks content and he put his happy colors on. Are yall sittin on a boat?

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Yeah, he was on the side next to the front casting deck. I would love to let them all play in the grass, but I'm never quite sure what the landlord or the guy that does the landscaping might have treated it with (chemicals). At least on the boat, he can sit on the marine carpet and soak up the sun.

Assassin seemed to love his boat ride through the frontyard :lol:
Glad you got some nice weather for basking in the sun.
What is he weighing in at these days?

 

[DragonMomSandy]

I need to get weights and measurements on all the kids. Probably on Thurs when I'm off. I know he's pushing 590 grams or more!

Great pics Sandy, gosh he's handsome! He sure did have his eye on the sky but I'm glad he relaxed for you. Maybe the boys are just that way because Mojo really seemed to like being outside after the first 10 minutes but the girls didn't seem to relax much....

Just an update: Assassin's weight today: 601 grams!!!!!!!!!!!! He's still hovering at 22 inches, but he's still bulking up! The big showoff is doing well (favorite past time is harrassing the girls with the headbobs and blackbeards or lounging on that hammock of his!) Hopefully I can get some more pics posted soon.

Hey! How is my disturbed friend Sandy doing these days?
I cannot believe Assassin is 601 grams.. :shock: .. OMG! He is HUGE!!!!
What do you feed that boy????

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Lots and lots of roachy bugs, huge bowls of greens and the occasional small child and dog....LOL!!! Just kidding! He is a piggy, he plows through a big bowl of greens everyday and quite a few large roaches. He gets supers to a few times a week as a treat-He LOVES worms! (I do them only on a treat basis, otherwise if he gets them daily he snubs other feeders).

Assassin got to go on a trip with me today to Walgreens! It's the store I work at in the pharmacy, and my store manager, being really cool had given permission for me to sneak him in! I took him in with his soft side carrier and had his leash on.. EVERYONE LOVED HIM! It was Great! My boss had him in the office for close to 15 minutes babying him, rubbing his tail and chin and he seemed to enjoy her attention. Then after putting him back in the carrier, we made a trip to the pharmacy (OUT WINDOW-not inside, big no-no) to let my co-workers know I had him there for them to see, then I took him in the stockroom so we could take him back out of the carrier and each of them took turns coming into the stockroom to check him out, rub his chin and tail and tummy, a couple of them wanted to hold him. One of the girls was taking pics of him with her camera (of course the big ham was posing proudly on my shoulder!) Word of him being there spread through the store pretty quickly, and I had regular sales floor employees coming back to see him too! They were all fascinated by him and no one was afraid of him...a few were a little nervous at first, but, like always his personality won them all over quickly! We were there for probably close to an hour! I got tons of questions, and got to educate some of my co-workers a little bit...Always a good thing! Everyone was amazed at how sweet and mellow he is and everyone loved his coloring! My store manager, who is a photobuff/amatuer photographer wants to take pics of him sometime too!

So, we had fun...Assassin got to make new friends! And best of all.....NO POOP accidents! LOL

He must've had a great time! Fiona and Mojo seemed to really enjoy going to the vet the other day, they were running around and eating up all the attention too! We have overtime on Saturdays sometime, I would love to take them and show them off! Were you able to get any pics of Assasin?? I always crack up at how some people start off by being afraid, then interested then IN LOVE!!! Anyway, I have another new baby coming!!!! Check out his cute little face on my thread!

 

[spurlee01]

Sandy sounds like you all had quite a good time! I think I will take Lil to another art show today, she was such a hit last time.

 

[DragonMomSandy]

No pics this time. I forgot to bring my camera! It was fun, and I love peoples reactions to him! It's amazing how quickly they want to touch him! I think it's because they have such sweet faces and don't appear as threatening as other lizards or snakes. Everyone is just fascinated with him, and they already knew that I'm a reptile freak! So it was great to get to share my obsession with them!

Phoebe would like some Assassin pics please!!! She has been un-grounded because I felt sorry for her - she has been feeling a little under the weather lately!! So she would like to take advantage of her freedom by drooling over Assassin before she gets grounded again!!

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Tell Pheobe I will have some pics of Assassin soon! Had a lot going on this weekend and didn't even get the chance to get the kids outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and sunshine! I'm just getting around to bath time for each of them! Assassin says to tell the Beautiful Pheobe "Hello Pretty Lady!"

Pictures please! :wink:
