I just took in 2 boys on the verge of being driven to the reptile store. I plan on getting them better (Smokey..ugh :roll: has a URI and they both have mites and haven't been handled in a long time if ever for Blackie) and rehoming them in the near future.
I HATE their names and they don't know them anyways. Boys in my home are allowed to have human names but they have to be a bit different. I have had a Pippens, Farraday, Dominic, Sebastian (nto named by me), a Dilbert, Beni and Ortiz and 2 others not named by me Bear and Tucker. Just to give you an idea.
What does everyone think of Wilbur for Smokey? LOL
They are supposed to be 1.5 years old but I am not sure of that, they might be younger. I will take pics on the couch tonight so you can see their stance and how "on their toes" they walk/stand.
Alright meet the boyos.
Smokey - american blue variberk with a head spot. Used to be friendly but hasn't been handled in a long time. Very curious and friendly little guy. You can tell he hasn't been picked up in ages but once he's in your hands/arms/lap he settles down to explore and look up into your face with big bright eyes.
And Blackie (black variberk with a big white chest and throat) who is supposedly soo spooky no one ever handled him. He's a very nervous boy but he never threatens to nip, instead he freezes. I had him in my hands/arms and he didn't struggle at all. Just very unsure of what is next for him. He is very slow to eat new yummy food and would only carefully lick the edges of the dish of baby cereal. LOL this morning I found him cuddled up with his cagemate/brother in the hammie. Once I break through to him, he's going to be wonderful :mrgreen:
Where are we??
Now I can add more hammies to the cage etc...I wanted to see what they were like because reaching inside closed hammocks for biters is not advisable :wink2: Not these 2!!
