well this guy is *FAR* from friendly.. he'll pretty much attack the glass of his cage if you stand there for too long... he nailed me a couple days after i got him, which is how i found out he's really not so friendly...
this is a week after he bit me, and had time to heal.. almost my whole fingers were purple, all the way to the bone, and split my middle fingernail in 2... most pain i've ever been in in my life. Good luck with the new rescue.. this big guy accually had MBD at some point in his life. His spine is arched towards his hips, and slightly crooked... the people who had him before didn't give him any calcium or vitamens are all, plus fed him cheese because they thought it'd be good for calcium... HELLO!!! animal protien is BAADDD!! anyway.. hehe..

: the sweetest, with the Exception of Harry. *grin*

: He resembles my guy for some reason... Although Tarzan is probably a third of his size... the rostral horns, head shape, and the colors of the subtympanic plate/scale/sheild are like a blown up copy.

: *sigh* why can't we all just be able to have 10 IG's each without a problem? 1st dibs on this pretty boy! lol.
: too bad I can't take in any foster IG's at the moment. I already have plans to adopt my friends IG, but I do not have the space for another huge cage.
: Chip is her name, and she is about 3.5' and, somewhere around 4 or 5 years old. lives in a large aquarium, but its small for her, is on a pretty good diet, doesn't get handled much though. Is ovaries-less. I saw her once before.. I want to go over to check her out again, decked out in gloves to be prepared for the worst, to check up on her, make sure she has no MBD.
: If the people really wanna adopt her out, maybe someone here in the NY area woudl want her? I am not positive about it yet though.

: well, enough rambling!!
