Ladies and Gentlemen........Dill.

icequeen Oct 07, 2003 10:20 PM

Here is a picture of Dill, taken today.
As you can see, she still has her curvy figure, so her fast hasn't affected her to any significant degree so far.
Today, she did eat a LITTLE bit. She had some mixed veggies, some chopped greens flavoured with some pea baby food. She had about 6 BIG bites, and that was it.
She did come out of her cage and explore tonight. She seems to enjoy climbing up on the back of my couch and just watching things. I'm sure it's due to the fact that it's dark green and is the highest point she can get to on her own.
We just open her cage doors, and if she wants to come out, she will. Sometimes all she does is comes out, pees on the floor and heads right back in. Tonight though, she decided to explore and wander around. My son was sitting on the floor, and she climbed right up into his lap, and onto his arm. It's the first time she has done that...probably because it was the first time he was sitting STILL!

Leonardo does the same thing!If we leave the door open he will go out to explore the house!Yesterday i forgot that my Bearded Dragon wan on the back of my couch.Leonardo climbed there (his favorite spot too!) , climbed my Bearded head and pee all over his face! That dark MTS pee!The Bearded didnt react! Then Leonardo continue to walk and left the Beardie behind!

Do you think he made that on purpose?

Maybe it is a territory marking behaviour?
I don't know.
But, Dill does do that often...just comes out of her cage to pee. Most often she heads right back inside when she done.
She did pee on the back of my couch the other day as well...and usually my cats sleep up there. (of course NOT when Dill is out and about!)
Maybe Leonardo was giving the Beardie a warning..."get off my couch buddy! Or ELSE!!"

The funny thing is that the Beardie didnt move even while the pee was running on his face!lol!

Im happy you let your baby goes out a little bit! I think PTSs , like iguanas, love to free roam!!
