Now, I know that many foods on my iguana diet "No" list are okay in very small amounts once in a while, but, still. No. Not even for his hatchday.
Although, to be honest, a nice foamy Guinness with a cheese and pickle sandwich do sound pretty good right now...
i agree... but since we are thinking about going guiness.. then i have to say "top of the morning to ya Mike-y, and congrats on this yur hatchday!"
ReplyDeleteNo amount of Guinness was enough to get him over being cranky because he's shedding. Sheesh! There's nothing like a PMSy iguana!
ReplyDeletehehehe :) yes, THAT is God's absolute truth. sheds on igs! brrrr.
ReplyDeleteRight on!
ReplyDeleteHappy b'day Mikey!
I'm getting a GCB here very soon,also for David Blair. An unfortunate series of events caused me to check his site for hatchlings available.[lost month old bearded dragon in my car-escaped out of the box before I got home :( ] The site,as usual,had not been updated recently and said he had '06 babies. I emailed in response and it just so happened that in fact he did not have any '06 but had just hatched some that day!(9-30-07) How about that for co-incidence?! So,seeing that's really what I wanted, after having to sell mine to a breeder in Miami(who had a girlfriend for him and outdoor "condo")when moving from Orlando to Utah, I'm getting another blue!
In light of the circumstances drawing me to find hatchlings born on the day I looked for them I think I'll name it Kismet. :-)
...still looking for the dragon but not going to delude myself,poor lizard sickle
Mike came about in sort of the same way, Jeff. I'd been thinking about a Cyclura for a long time, but doing rescue and rehab, well, sooner or later, most things come one's way, wanted or not. A Cyclura, however, still hadn't.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was writing Iguanas for Dummies, I went to David Blair's site to check the current URLs, and spent some time mooning over the photos of his various Cyclura. He had a couple hatchlings left from the 1997 hatch out of Big Blue. But I moved on, and went back to work. A day or two later, a family friend notified me that while he was nosing around the state's unclaimed funds site, he found I had some money waiting out there for me.
It was exactly the amount needed to buy and have shipped one of those hatchlings...
Just to make sure I wasn't being silly (::snort::) I checked with Alta, fellow IML moderator and IFD proof/content reader, to see what she thought. She thought it was fated to be. And so it came to pass.
And now my baby's a man. Well, you know what I mean... :)
Found the beardie!
ReplyDeleteI had cut my finger badly at work and had to go to the medical facility. When all was said and done,5 stitches later I returned to my car to find her sitting in the driver's seat looking at me like..."What?"(after 3 days living God knows where in my car!)
So,now I have Sheila and Kismet will be on the way here soon.I'm expecting by no later than month's end,possibly sooner.Can't wait too long,it'll be too cold to ship. Seeing he wants $72 for shipping they should bring him out in a heated van with iggy blanket and a pillow!
1997? I wonder how old "Blue" is now? He's quite the impressive specimen!
Thank you,BTW,for all your expertise in reptile husbandry. I've enjoyed reading your pages for quite some time. :-)
If ever in Utah,come see a movie,I got the hook-up!
