: Hiya, once again thanks for the advice...
: I think I must have written it incorrectly he is about 4 to 5inches from his nose to his..how can i put this ...bum point!! (ie not including his tail) LOL I dont think he is a hatchling, but i do think he is still quite small.
: I need to know if I am being a bad owner.....Godzilla immediately made a bee line for the christmas tree, fighting me all the way to get into it, WOW he just loves it in there, it is almost as if he gets excited when he sees it, so i let him in there and now he is sleeping in it at night...is this ok?

: Also when I put him on the Yukka under the lamp he seems to lose interest and want to be away from the light. He is out on the patio climbing the screen in the direct sunlight all day, do you think this is enough sun?

: HE POOPED!!! yes now we are getting somewhere....but still concerned as he is not drinking,

: Sorry, PAW PAW... my south african terminology...this is papaya!!

: Finally, salmonella....has anyone had it and what are the symptoms, i know I can look it up, but posting quickly as I think, we have a prob! hopefully not though
: Thanks Raylene

Raylene: Max (my ig) used to run up the tree every chance he got last year. He would go up the middle (mine's not real) and sit on the branches and look out. Believe it or not, he never disturbed the ornaments. This year (he's 3' long), he went up and sat it in while I was decorating the living room. I tried to get him out of it and he turned into three feet of corded muscle and fought me every step of the way. Finally I got him out, but knocked off about l0 ornaments in the process, so he's not allowed in the living room right now (LOL).

The "bum" point is called a "vent".

He may be getting enough sunshine on the patio if it's screening. My ig has days he doesn't want to be under the light. He crawls under things or behind the toilet and is actually icy when I get him. I put him back under the light and he leaves the minute my back is turned.

You sound like you're getting really used to him already!
