ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! IM SOO FRUSTRATED WITH SKITZ!!! Well sorry I havent't posted in a while, I've just had my hands full with a new job and all. I found some time so I'm gonna update ya'll. I finally got Skitz off that T-Rex pellet diet, now she goes around my room willingly "tasting" things to see if they are edible. She has gotten a lot stronger, AND A HUNDRED TIMES MORE ONERY!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!! I'm trying as best I can, I handle her everyday, but she seems to get meaner and meaner. Usually I handle her, stroke her, and talk to her, then I put her on her favorite spot(7foot ficus tree in my room) where she just chills. I've even let her "spend the night" up there, and shes just fine. It's just when I go to feed her, and take her out of her cage for routine cleanup and all, she huffs and puffs and tail whips, SHE EVEN JUMPS FOR MY FINGERS!! Sometimes I will let her bite me(doesnt hurt) just so I can give her a flick on the nose and scream NOOOOOO!!!! and she'll get the idea that biting is bad. Other than that shes just a nice normal little lizard who likes to pig out and sits around all day. Im just concerned about one thing though...She seems to shed like every week or every other week. Is she just catching up for missed time, or could it be something else?? And a question on behavior...sometimes she'll give me the "one-eye closed, one-eye open" bit when I stroke her neck...is there anyway to tell whether this is the good "AHHHH I TRUST YOU, PLEASE DON'T STOP" one-eye, or the "OMG ITS GONNA EAT ME, ILL CLOSE MY EYE TO MAKE IT GO AWAY" one-eye?? Thanx fer readin' my post and being soo patient with all us NEWBIE IG owners :o)
