No help from you? So what, now you have to eat popcorn as a snack?

sibi said:Aww. I love little critters that have something wrong with them. To hear any improvement warms my heart. Good for you guys.

He was in pretty bad shape when I found him, the vet said that based on its size he would not have guessed that the little guy was older than a few weeks, let alone months. For the first 6 months it was pretty touch and go, I had to force feed him a high calorie meal replacer for a few months, and I had to help him with his sheds because he wouldn't pull it off, he would just let it sit for days and it would get so stiff that he couldn't move... didn't open his eyes for the first month, and I think he's still half blind... he has finally learned how to pick food out of my hand, he use to just chomp down. Now he will rub his mouth on my fingers to see if I actually have something, then he will very lightly nip at the food, he's such a good boy (even though I'm pretty sure "he" is a she)
Teegee was my first ever reptile so even though I started out with a beginner lizard like a leo, every other reptile I've gotten since then seems so easy compared to that!

You just need a bigger bed. We bought a king size bed when cici started cramping our style. I always say he can't invade my territory because I have my maginot line of dogs. It's a pretty weak defense against invasion but it's warm and makes you feel cozy.![]()

But you are his or her beloved food goddess. Even my fish love their food goddess![]()
CourtneyAndCarl said:Haha, I guess that's true. I think even my little froggies recognize me as their cricket bearing servant
