are you guys *really* encouraging me to stick this poor defenseless little iglet with a name like *Fluffy*!!?!?? ROTFLMAO ... well, ya gotta admit, it's *much* more creative than "Liz" (which is what iZ started out as, til the handful of hemipenes incident ...)
he just doesn't *look* like a "Fritz" ... it's either "Fluffy" or "George" ... as in the old Bugs Bunny cartoon with the Abomidable Snowman 'I'm gonna hug him + love him + call him George' ...
as far as me doing the Alpha dance on both floors of the house ... LMAO ... i think it's gonna be awhile before i have to do that! it's soooo funny to see this little guy puff up and whip his tail at me!!! i try not to laugh at him cuz i don't want to hurt his feelings, but it's hilarious with that itty bitty dewlap sticking out ...
he actually seems to be pretty darn calm for such a little thing ... i can get my hand close enough to him that i can rub him legs or his belly and he's tongue flicked/tasted me a few times ... my friend did say he spent alot of time handling him ...
the difference between my 2 boys just blows my mind ... can't believe iZ was *ever* that small!!! making teeny tiny salads is funny too ... his entire plate wouldn't be one bite for iZ!
yep ... i've finally lost my last remaining marble ... the 2yo g-daughter is just gonna *love* this little guy!!!! i've got to get his enclosure put up higher so she can't touch any of it ... don't want her *or* her baby sister to be getting any salmonella!!!
ok ... i better go do something useful on my day off ...
