Well it looks like we have all decided on OZZY, real original huh?! LOL Not surpising of my 13 year old son. But hubby liked it too so OZZY it is. The real kicker is I have officially taken over the lizard care. My son hasnt done so good at this. I have been cleaning his cage, feeding and fresh water, misting ect. I got mad at my son this morning and said thats it the lizard is mine. LOL This was something that I did expect. Ozzy is doing well. He is eating really good for me now, even ate in front of me the other day. He just couldn't wait to dig into that cantalope. LOL His tail appears to be healing up fine. He is still pretty skitish. When I put my hand in the cage he will try to whip me with that tail. Once I get him out then he settles right down. So all in all he is doing well. I say he but we dont know that for sure since he is only about 8 months old. I also found out that my neighbor kid, he is like 20 i think, is into reptiles. He seems pretty knowledgeable too. He has a few lizards right now, not igs, cant remember what he said they were. LOL Plus a bunch of turtles and snakes. EWWW! He has a 7 foot red tail boa over there. YUK! He told me he has built most of his enclosures so when we start on ozzys he could be handy to have around. LOL
I have also noticed that Ozzy is easier to take care of than my cats and dog. Right now they are shedding, I have 2 Persians and a dog that is half husky, so we have a major shedding problem right now. LOL The lizards shed is confined and easy to deal with. Just got the cards from the vet that the dog is due for her shots and then one of the cats will be due next month. Ick! The iggy doesnt need shots. Ok not that I don't just adore my fur babies but the ig is just much easier to deal with at the moment not to mention cheaper. LOL I won't be saying that when we start on the new enclosure. Well I better run. Thanks for all the help here. Tami
