So we went to the reptile show sunday with the intention of ONLY getting feeders for the snakes and the beardie but I fell in love!!

The first table there was for a local shop that we've been to a couple times and they had (among other things) the most beautiful nile monitor ever.

Superman is 4 years old, has had the same owner (an employee of the shop) since he was a hatching and has been used in educational shows for the past 2 years. I was so surprised at how well he was handling all the commotion and people petting him.

Zack, his owner, was going back to school and his off campus house would not allow Superman to come so he was looking for a new home for him.

Since we had budgeted for our black throat, who didn't survive, I was seriously contemplating taking him home. I stood and talked to zack at length about his daily routine, his diet, his habitat and his past experiences. I was totally amazed at the love zack had for him and I could truly see it was going to be hard for him to let him go.

After much discussion with my boyfriend we decided to buy superman. He's been a total doll baby since we brought him home (well for me at least, he postures at my bf and hisses quite a bit) he enjoys getting in the shower in the evenings and likes to crawl on me quite a bit.

We're now looking at plans for his permanent enclosure.

I'd add photos but it looks like we can't add from tapatalk anymore?
