That’s the best rescue story I’ve heard in a few weeks. Excellent, excellent. I notice you said you acquired a male. May I assume the reason for that is breeding?

[Zoodulcis]

A nice set up looks easy to clean. To enter the contest, however, we need a picture of the actual pet.

I didn’t think blue tongue seemed quite right. The colors weren’t quite the same. What made you decide on this species as a pet?

[Zoodulcis]

She looks relaxed. Is she a blue tongued skink?

[Zoodulcis]

All sources that I have reviewed indicate that ginger leaves are non-toxic for amphibians. Some south Asian frog species love to roost in them, so I think you are safe. If this plant is new to the terrarium, however, just keep a sharp eye on your guy for any signs of unusual behavior that might indicate a skin sensitivity. If in doubt, remove the plant and observe your frog for a week or two before deciding when and if to place the plant back into the habitat.

[Zoodulcis]

That seems like a very sensible move, but I bet when the time comes your enclosures will seem a bit emptier without them.

[Zoodulcis]

Very funny. Was that the raptor that finally snatched the big game guide, where his last words were ‘clever girl’?

[Zoodulcis]

Oh man, you do have your hands full. But what a delight! I assume you will be selling or rehoming most or all of them at some point?

[Zoodulcis]

He looks like a pretty well-fed 6 month old, especially pancaked out like that. Is he your very first beardie?

[Zoodulcis]

I do hope he calms down a bit. Many forum members have been able to form a tremendous and loving bond with their chammie. Occasionally, someone does report an adult that they refer to as ‘grumpy’. Do you know much about his husbandry before you bought him? I generally assume that reptiles with bad attitudes were bought from a pet store, and not a breeder. There does seem to be a correlation. But I still ask so that other members can learn or even weigh in on the matter.

[Zoodulcis]

How old is this little one? It may be impossible to say yet, but it looks like there may be hemipenal bulges forming, but not sure.

[Zoodulcis]

Is he mean to crickets only, or to people too? Some chammies can be a bit cranky, for sure, but many are total sweethearts, so I am always curious.

[Zoodulcis]

Fun in the sun. What is this fella’s name?

[Zoodulcis]

She does seem to want out to play. What are all of those red bits in her tank?

[Zoodulcis]

I would encourage you to try more soft-bodied insects, beginning with crickets and dubia roaches. Leos have a very short digestive system and the hard exoskeleton of mealworms means that your lovely girl isn’t getting as much useful nutrition as she needs for long-term health.
