What a pretty thing!

Also about the "killing" of the cagemate, I was a little skeptical about that myself when I was asked to take him but its what I was told by his previous owner so that's what I say when asked. I have a feeling that the person who purchased him just either didn't have the time to care for him or did their reseach AFTER buying and didn't want to deal with a reptile that gets so big/has more specific needs/diet/cage requirements. ((Because why would you spend the money on all the setup stuff and 2 monitors then get rid of the living one and then have a set up with NO monitors and be out all that cash...?))

Here's a picture from when I went to pick him up


He spent a short amount of time at the local petland, thank goodness that my friend Tony is the manager of the fish and reptile department, he called me to come get this guy before he could end up with another sub-par owner. I've heard people can tell their gender just by looking so I'm curious if he is really male. (I'll still call him a HE either way)

Also thanks for the feedback Mumps, it really helps to hear from other keepers, I want to make sure that I'm being the best owner that I can be.
