Hi guys!
Sorry I havent given you an update in a while. I was trying to hang on until the blood results came back but they STILL havent
Id also worked myself up into a horrific state about a local dragon.
We have a local ebay type site which people sell everything from cars to pets on. There are ALWAYS beardies on there so I always have a little browse and oooh and awwww at them.
I came across this guy the other day:
Thin as anything and obviously weak by the way he holds himself. The reason for selling this "bargain" was because of family circumstances, which translates to "we got one and then got bored of it".
I just got myself into such a state about this little guy. I know there was no way I could afford to keep him with money being so tight right now, so I was upset, but then I just became irrate. I spun off into a rage about how people think its ok to starve a lizard but theyd be put in prison for doing it to a puppy.
I just kept sobbing and saying he was going to die unloved.
Mark was obviously furious with me and ended up sending me to bed after shouting at me that I cant save them all.
It took me hours to calm down.
I just...
Only you guys would understand the rage you feel in the pit of your stomach when you see something like this.
BLARGGGGGGG.
moving on.
Ruben:
Rube has been in much better spirits ever since we took him outside. He's still only eating bugs once every few days but other than that he is in good health.
We're planning another picnic this weekend if the weather holds.
The little monster even managed to climb up my leg all my himself!
Spider Rube... Spider Rube...
Im nearly finished cutting the bits for Miso's viv and Im going to use the spares to make Rube a little climbing frame to challenge himself on.
I might need some thicker wood for him though.
He is
enormous. He's pushing about 19" now.
His beard is getting all droopy too. I cant resist rubbing my nose into it.
Captain Ruben does not approve.
Miso:
Well what can I say. Ive been on edge waiting for the blood results and convincing myself that she's not growing anymore, despite the fact that she's in constant shed now and ate 40 roaches 5 minutes ago.
Mark says im not happy unless Im giving myself an anxiety attack over something... he may have a point :roll:
She's been such a brat recently because her heads been shedding and she's not been interested in being held at all. She has been ona constant mission to make mischief.
This is what greeted me everytime I got her out. She'd leap from me, to the desk, knock as much as possible over, then launch herself at the blinds.
Very clever dear.
She has also been playing the "nom le bulb" game.
Needless to say Ive had to remove the branch because every time i leave the flat she manages to knock it out of its holder.
Here she is mid-shed in grump mode.
And here she is in her post-shed glory.
Just look at those yellows.
On a nicer note Miso fell asleep on me for the first time ever ever ever!
I put her little pink blankie on my chest and folded her inside (ive tried burritoing her 1000s of times but she is NOT interested if its not her blankie) and she slowly but surely started to lower her head as I petted her.
First she closed one eye whilst i stroked, then two, then ZONK she was gone.
I wish I got a picture, she was too gorgeous for words, but I didnt dare breathe let alone move for fear of disturbing her magesty :lol:
Hugs hugs and more hugs!
(not vet pictures yet girls)
