I am really having some trouble with my collared at the moment.
I posted here a few times before because my c/l was really undernourished and very inactive but after some sound advice from the some people on this site he is doing much better and even putting on as well. Anyway the problem is that he is so agrresive and bites me any chance he gets, Eve gave me some advice but i dont think im making any improvments at all( not a dig at you eve by the way) i just dont know what angle to use next? He is definatley wild caught is it possible he has had a bad experience when he was young and doesnt like the look of humans?

If he will not tame down, just appreciate him the way he is...typically a mean a$$ lizard is a healthy lizard I'm not saying nice ones aren't though...don't get me wrong.

Glad to hear he's been putting on some weight for you.

I have a w/c that is just insane!! Unfortunately mine won't eat right now, and is starting to worry me. Oh trust me he has PLENTY of energy at the moment!!! If he doesn't start eating well, by Fri, I'm going to have to release him back where I found him.

Hang in there

in for months after he was caught!

One day he just grabbed one on his own in the tank. But it took awhile ! He was quite large and intimadating too ,

He only got the best of me the first day, trying to pull him out of a sock, Johneee sent him in ! LOL Quite a bite, hhehehe

But I'm bigger than him, so as far as eating , he was not going to starve if I had any control over things.

he sent me a one sock surprise a few years back!
Poor fella! Perhaps we should all pitch in and send him some new socks!!

I fooled my wife with it.

Last time he sent a lizard he send hers, because he had NONE left of his own.

Yes, maybe we can take up a collection, for a few packages of nice socks for him.

Sad whats next the kids socks ?????? LMAO

You tease, but my Vegas came in a small child's sock. It looked like a favorite too, well worn and faded!
