Meet Loiosh

[JulieGeek]

Everyone, meet Loiosh.





He's new to me. I got him from Zookeeper in Austin and they said he's about a year old.

Loiosh is actually my second dragon. Lots of folks here helped me out trying to save my first one. After a truly disastrous experience with a PetSmart hatchling (see here for the saga: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=186549), I felt like I ought to go for an adult this time.

Loiosh is, well, he's wonderful. He rode home three hours in the car and promptly settled into his new home. He ate a few crickets and some salad the first night. Today he has chowed down on everything, pooped, had a bath, basked, gaped, and is currently sleeping under his hammock with his tongue sticking out. I am in love.

He is adorable! So do you like the "Jhereg" books too?

 

[JulieGeek]

Love them! We will shortly have a bumper sticker (or something) that says, "Shut up, Loiosh."

And I thought I was the only one old enough to remember those...

Beard fluffing, snuggly-snuggles on my neck, copious eating, and curling up in his washcloth for the night.

Gah! I am so totally hooked on this guy.

He looks so sweet ! I'm sure things will go better this time. Poor Smaug - You did your best for him that's for sure !

And now he's madly belly-surfing everything in my office working on a shed. SOMEBODY is getting a big ol' Shed Aid soak tonight...

I think it's beyond cute when he scratches like a dog.
