On Wednesday of this week, my girlfriend Jessica and I were driving around doing some errands when someone from her work (she works at Petsmart) called her and said that someone was there trying to give the store their lizard. She is the store's lizard "expert" so she and I went up to the store and there was a mother and a son who were trying to give a baby Savannah Monitor to Petsmart! The son's father (the parents were divorced) had bought the lizard for him but the mother would not let him keep it (he lived at her house lol).....and was making the kid get rid of the monitor. Petsmart told the mom they could not take the lizard due to company policy about not "advocating the sale of carnivorous lizards" (WTF?)......so the mother said "If we can't find a home for it, we'll just take it home and stick him in the freezer"..... :eek: :evil: :( ........at which Jessica said "NO! We'll take him!!"......oy......after letting her know how big they got she insisted we save the little fellow from a chilly death so I agreed. We are now the proud yet surprised parents of a tiny baby Savannah Monitor. He is very small so hopefully calming him down won't be a huge issue....he is very healthy, and was inspected by Morti & LdyDrgn yesterday. Wish us luck with our new addition. :D
P.S.-Pics will be put up ASAP. :)
