Funny, my Meller's (Zoe) was an angel when I bought him at a show last Saturday, and since getting home in his temporary cage, he's grown quite unhappy with me. I mean, once he's out he kind of calms down, but getting him out for a cage cleaning... yikes. Mom walked over when I was holding him and she must of startled him because he opened his mouth as big as it would go, puffed up, hissed and half lunged toward us (all while on my hand); She goes "S*** Tiff, I've seen you hold a lot of reptiles and I've never seen you jump like that" (Glad SHE got a kick out of it).

This pic was taken a minute after that...I'll post it here since I already forced it on my collared lizard friends. Hehe. I've gone off on a tangent; I hope Zoe calms down when he gets in a more permanent and appropriate sized cage. My Jackson's were the sweetest chams ever. Even when Caleb got sick and I had to give him 2 nightly injections he was such a good boy about it... I miss him. Wow, I'm borderline lame here, aren't I?
