So this happened

[jmcrook]

Sonny has become my problem child. It has turned into daily routine to come home after my 12 hour graveyard shifts to have to do a complete scrubdown of his enclosure. I gave him two XXL rats a few days ago to help with the racket he’s been making, along with the fact he’s started to bang his face up pretty good. Anyways sure enough two days later it looks like he never ate, and day 5 now? He’s on the prowl again. But that’s the easier part to deal with. Last night (only a few, maybe 3? )Days since our last cage scrubdown I hear a super loud fart. I legit thought my SO was playing a recording or something to prank me. The sound alone was ungodly. So I go to check his enclosure which had looked completely fresh only a bit before, and see that he is starting to pee. It was only a small spot, so I left it figuring he’d poop by the time I got home from work, but instead I get home to a piss storm. Like a literal piss storm. Like he peed so much that it covered the entire floor of his enclosure, and then because of the amount of fluid and temperature it evaporated and got an the ceiling of his enclosure, and then rained down retic piss on every inch of his cage. Complete disaster.

then I got home only a few hours after all of this and scrubbing his boaphile, to find he has now tipped his “untippable water bowl and flooded his enclosure again, all in the search for more food, which was evident from his red/swollen snout.

And now I know he’s just plotting to smear poop everywhere. Gotta love him though.

Adolescence is fun, right? Gerald completely destroys his cage almost every night whether he’s hungry or not. Oh the joy of keeping retics
