A pox of lizards

Sep 21, 2008 19:37

New camera came. But more importantly, I've inherited a steaming pile of lizards.



Three new baby uromastyx, dispensed on me by the defunct family pet shop. It's kind of unreasonable to have this many lizards, so I'm looking for someone I know who wants one. They mostly eat plants and crap plants bakery fresh cinnamon buns.



The one on top was dropped off at the last minute by a mysterious stranger and is freakishly not tame, so I don't think I will offer that one. But the two peach-colored ones (which the camera doesn't get right) are normal. Except that they were foolishly raised on mealworms, so the bottom one would try to eat the toes and tail of the middle one, and the middle one is coincidentally missing parts of his toes and tail. His name is Li'l Timmy. Li'l Timmy is sad and handicapped and wants a mommy to love him. One that doesn't drink and yell so much.



But I guess since no one loves him he'll just have to be tossed into the incinerator for poor, crippled, retarded, orphan lizard babies that nobody ever wanted.

Actually I kind of want to get rid of the toe-eating one instead, but I'm sure he's very cute and sad also, in a toe-eating kind of way. And there's a significantly less cute, giant, evil, 2'+ savannah monitor that swallows rats, sandwiches, and your hand that's up for grabs too.
