rescue iggy update

HerpGirl Aug 13, 2003 08:26 AM

he is a male, stv=1 foot, snout to tail =3'2". he is in great shape. very rounded and healthy. no rostral abrasion and lots of muscles. he is doing good now but hates being caged so i usually let him out when im in the room. he is also eating great! he made the transition from eating broccoli cucumbers grapes bananas and watermelons(what they fed him) to eating collard escarole endive and kale. i am dusting with 2:1 vitamin and he eats like there is no tomorrow. he eats a whole paper plate full of food. i am soo happy that he acclimated so fast and well.he is pooping too but i am going to make another post about that.
... they also named him iggy(im not to thrilled with that but its ok)

haha, theres one word that describes how he feels for zephyr, hate. lol.if iggy sees zephyr in his cage across the room he starts head bobbing like crazy. then when i let him out he goes to zephyrs cage and starts taunting him, so i dont let them together, ever. iggy goes to my other cages too, even the empty ones and bobs. sigh, he knows hes the big boy in the house now. it just kinda makes it harder to get my other guys out becuase im afraid if they get loose they might get into his cage(its a wire cage they can walk right thru). i think it might partly be due to that in his other home all he had was a cavy in the room with him... not lots of other scaly friends. oh well, i just hope he gets used to them. and i wil try to get some pics. oh yea, i had to turn my mirror around too... hehe, he wants to be a macho man in front of it all the time.
