Lilly and Lyla

I finally got my new baby today! She has done great so far. Other than a dark belly she has shown no signs of relocation stress. At 6 months and 104 gm, she ate a meal that would have rivaled my boyfriends 10 month old, 314 gm dragon. She had hornworms, butterworms, and crickets. We actually had to cut her off on cricket because I stupidly bought some that were way to big (we picked out the littlest ones). I have already taken several pictures so I just have to share. I will be updating this post periodically with more pictures and stories. (I have to add my funny cricket story here. Yesterday I went to feeder's supply to get crickets because I won't be able to get bulk until monday. A girl in her 20s or so was helping me. She had jeans on with torn knees. As she was almost done with my crickets she says "Oh my gosh". "What?" I asked. "A cricket just crawled into my pants." She hurried off to go take care of it and another worker came to finish my cricket order. I found it hilarious).
On to pictures:
Basking

Mommy tried to get a picture of me as a burrito but wasn't fast enough

One more basking shot

Would have been a great bath pic if mommy paid attention to the focus

Whole body bath shot

Thanks for looking,

Awww, poor little girl! I saw her FB pics! I have so many babies shedding every day, it's sad when they're all Stressy and you just can't do much...

Sara, did you tell Dawn that Psycho actually snuggled with you? That you were all goo'ing and gaa'ing while she was doing it?

Dawn, are Crashie-poo or Psycho confused yet?

At dinner time most of her stressies were gone. I think by tomorrow she'll be all happy again! Has Psycho been nice to you?

LOL yeah, she snoozing on my lap, we're still not to Columbus, oh - so I got another 3 hours of cuddle I'll get. I still cannot believe she opened her mouth to bite me! The car is all dark, it's 8:30 pm so Crashie is snoozing, too.

No, all snoozy for the drive home... so where is this convo about my snuggly psycho girl? See? I told y'all she does have a sweet side... when she wants to LOL!

 

[Goonie]

She tried to bite you?!?! Oh my! Maybe she wasn't done with her mini vacation yet?

 

[spurlee01]

Yup psycho was sweet And snuggly for like 20 mins before she got bored qnd went on an adventure

 

[blondie098]

Psycho is all up in our faces, front and center today, like "Road trip time?" LOL ~ and it figures, I caught some type of cooties somewhere in our travels this weekend ~ not sure where, woke up yesterday morning feeling like a Peterbuilt ran me over, and backed up for round #2. Yuk.

Feeling a little better today, doing the cough meds and Cold-eez and echinacea and every other thing i can think to battle it! I soaked in the hottub at the hotel, if I caught germs at the wedding Saturday, I probably incubated them to hi-gear in the jacuzzi Sunday a.m.! :shock:

 

[blondie098]

oh, yeah, Crashiepoo is still trying to hide... he thinks its time to brumate.

naw, I buy those things in bulk down the road from me ~ so you can either use it for yours, or pitch it we only ever use them for water

What is the OVS? Whatever it was, it came on super quick, because I felt fine Sunday a.m. at the park ~ I noticed I started coughing a little weird hacky cough on the way home ~ then BAM! I am feeling a little better, but wow, yuk!

Oh, Sara, the juice doesn't go in the dryer, LOL ~ nor does the camera go in the freezer, and the cat doesn't go in the fridge, nor the laptop in the closet.

 

[beardie parents]

Stupid question of the day: What is a pipette? It sounds like you use illegal substances of some kind. I don't think soo, Dawn #2 is wieard but not stupid!

Nor should the phone go in the fridge (and no, I didn't do that, my mom did).

Lori, not a dumb question ~ its just a plastic tube with a squeeze bulb on the end, kinda like an elongated plastic version of the glass dropper tops you see on medicines that the dosage is "drops" vs. teaspoons... I get them in bulk at a little resale surplus store up the road from me, he gets a lot of medical supply overages, and I get them like 10/$1 ~ great way to dispense water to Crash, since he aspirates to easily (he doesn't swallow, he fakes it)
