He's really sweet and pretty I get my bags of topsoil from our local home depot and if you buy more than one bag you can sometimes pick up a deal - and let's face it - a lot of topsoil will be needed

My sav doesn't make lots of burrows - but he digs under his rock and makes himself a regular burrow there. I've got to get his big viv sorted so he can have deeper soil.

well he made it through the first night. so we are over the first hurdle. he gobbled up a bunch more crickets this morning. so i have no doubt that his guts are working properly.
i will update with pics and updates as we go along.

Here's what you can look forward to if you put the time into making your new baby a friendly lizard.

(And no, just in case there's ANY confusion, that is not me in the photo! I'm the one behind the camera.)

oh my god i cant wait. how big is he. and how much does he way?????

[Kara]

Hmmm...that pic is a couple of years old now, so Poseidon has grown a bit. He's around 7' long STL, and probably weighs 50 lbs +/-. He's a BIG boy, one we regularly take to birthday parties & educational shows. Kids love him, and he's very, very tolerant of them.

[fish21]

how do you transport him in a huge box????

Not only is your new baby beautiful, but Posiedon is gorgeous as well.
