this story starts off on a sad note but ends on a more happy one
my daughter and her partner were asked if they would like to have a 1 year old beardie called larry who was owned by 2 young *****s who thought it was good to torture larry which culminated in chopping part of his tail off he was rescued by animal welfare and my daughter adopted larry..they have had him for about 1 year and although i went to her house about once a week never took much notice of larry really(like most at first was a bit unsure about lizards)anyway they moved house 3 months ago and asked if we could look after him for a bit(still have him).slowly but surely i have taken larry into my affections to the point that he now comes out every day instead of once or twice a week and we know have the weekly trip to the reptile shop to buy the hoppers..i try to steer clear of crickets as they never bloody shut up and when im in bed its like im back on holiday in the greek islands..lol ..he gets a salad bowl every 2 days..ive not given larry baths but he gets sprayed regular as he has never had baths (unsure how he will react to them.).. he seems to have a fetish for cucumber..he just hoovers the stuff up as soon as it is put in(takes his time with other salad)sooner or later larry should go back to his proper home and then i have the dilemma of whether to get a baby beardie..i say this because i have 3 cats and a dog..the old cat sheba does not bother with larry..jasper whos 3 is a natural born killer so hes kept well away and the kitten boots is ok at the moment(likes to sleep on top of larrys tank over the heat lamp) but when hes older who knows..anyway ive gone on a bit but larry has gone from the depths of dispair to a life of luxury and cucumber..thx for reading and will let you know if i take a baby beardie on when larry goes home if he goes home..lol
