    "Charlie's" progress

    Hi all,
    hope you are all in good health and spirits, well its 5 months since I got Charlie and I still can't get over how well he has settle in after the initial "not hungry" phase . I am feeding him every 5 days, he has shed twice and he is accustomed to being handled. He will even strike his food immediately after being handled(probably happens for everyone here already but all new to me !) The other night I was returning him to his viv he even paused for half a minute to have a drink while still half on my arm, so I think he has settled !! I've used a fast food plastic container to create a humid hide and he has turned it into his private toilet/wardrobe ! He has shed in it and relieves himself there also. I have the aquarium conversion complete and just waiting for Charlie to grow a little more before putting him in new home. Again I can't thank all of you that shared ideas/advice/general info on the forum enough - I would have been lost without the support ,
    Love, peace & hairgrease,
    Martin.
    if you are what you eat, I'm fast easy & cheap !!

    Re: "Charlie's" progress

    Alice I support Liverpool so it wasn't the best result ever but as with all things in life ya win some ya lose some .. or as my mate says .. life sucks get a helmet !! I did have the immense pleasure of being in Istanbul 2 years back so it kinda evens out ... needless to say I had plenty followed by much ....

    Reptile_man i'm living in Westmeath/Mullingar .. just up the road, now maybe you can point me in the direction of a reptile vet !! I know there is Bairbre O Malley in Bray but is there any closer ??
