I had morning snuggles with Odahviing. He doesn't eat his greens from a plated yet. He likes them hand fed and not when in his viv. No big. At least he eats them. This just means we spend a little time each day, a heating pad in my lap, him on it and me feeding him greens. I've been dipping them in ReptaBoost because of the Panacur for his pinworms. Apparently, he saw fit to reward me for all this loving attention (and for his last 2cc dose of the medication I think). He started ruffling his beard then let out a nice big poo. It's been his current tradition to give me a few urea only during the day and two poos, one in the AM
bath and one randomly during the day as a surprise in his viv. I've been very conciensious with the cleanings, HAVE to be with the pinworm reinfection risk!
This one he let loose right there on the heating pad. Let me tell you folks. He's a stinker....... He wasn't stinky when he first came home. This is actually why I actually believe that the pinworms came from a specific batch of crickets. I bought sixty, thirty died in a week. His poos started to stink a couple weeks later. He got shed in his eye. He got gunky, sticky in that eye.. The other eye followed. I took him to the vet. BOOM! Pinworms. A super mild case. Panacur and some antibac ointment for the eye, and he's all sorts of better. So I blame the crickets. But yes... Stinky poo since then. Like foul, old fish or the dumpster behind a Florida fish place. Not that the fish inside is bad, but we know what fish outside smells like. So that. On a heating pad. Right on my lap. I almost died.....
:shock: ...
In other news! More photos! Feel free to look through the Flickr. I don't ALWAYS stick them all in here, but I couldn't choose. I loved them all.
The first is strictly a link. I took a macro shot of his back and then trimmed it down for my laptop's background dimensions. It's my wallpaper. I wanted to share that. If you're at ALL interested feel free to either A) Save it and trim it for your own; or B) Comment with your dimensions, and I'll trim the original down and load it up to Flickr for you. I love his back.

Warm under mah belleh!
I love how contented he always looks. It makes me feel so happy. It means I MUST be doing something right!! <3
He just was not into having his eyes open. The pad kept him so relaxed that he kept closing them and pancaking out to chill... Or warm.
I love the way the front scales of their lips look like exaggerated pursed lips.
This was the eye that had the shed in it and started with the mild swelling, sticky draining, crusting. It's doing much better! I think it may have been hurt when the front arm on the same side was hurt though. I must keep an eye on it, in future. Such a cover lizard! Lizard Vogue!
How could you NOT boop that nose??!!
He's beginning to get the "fatter" upper and lower lids too, and this REALLY shows off those trademark beardie jowls he's started growing!! I'm mad for my little guy!
Pancake! I could eat him up!
This is why I think the other side was injured. The lids look very different on his right hand side. It almost looks like a tiny stick smacked him in the eye on his left eye lids. Strange.
