Arthur comes out to visit

el_toro Apr 09, 2006 02:02 PM

I don't see Arthur much. Both my Saharans are fairly wild and don't allow me near them without a lot of drama. Today I caught Arthur to check on her - she's been having a particularly unpleasant shed. She was as colored up as she ever gets and was showing her (I think) pretty markings, so I snapped some pictures.

maybe if you called her arthura she might be nicer to you just kidding, i have an "ivan the girl"

she is very pretty and looks nice and healthy (aka chubby, she has the crease going down her spine like my chubby lizards) she has a sweet looking face, it's hard to imagine her being mean

>>it's hard to imagine her being mean

Oh, she's not mean - if anything, I'd describe her as cautious. She'll actually take dandelions from my hand if she sees that I have one while I'm still across the room. No dandelion, no visible lizard within 10 feet.

Flighty/ skittish than my egyptian. My Crispy(saharan) I have had for 6 years, and for the first 3 I think he ran under his hide when I entered the room.

NOW he sits out, does not run, when picked up he squirms for the first few seconds. But it has taken a LONG time for him NOT to run. It amazes me just how patient you must be. But they do evenually calm.

Arthur is one spectacular looking uro. The colors are beautiful with a darling little face to match. She looks really healthy.
