Meet Misha!

Postby tylociraptor » Tue Jul 31, 2012 11:36 am

Hey, uh guys. What the heck is in this box????? I... really have no idea. I don't remember ORDERING anything....

Image

Wait.... Live harmless reptiles!? THERE'S NOT AN ICKY LIZARD IN HERE IS THERE?

Image

Oh... why, you aren't so icky at all! In fact, you're stunning! And kinda hissy!

Image

(Sorry, Mel... I changed the name on you! )

Today, after much anticipation, my second Aussie animal showed up on my doorstep. (The first being a cockateil)

This is very exciting, I have only ever shipped arachnids before, and I was really eager to see how well she fared- well she fared VERY well and was all hisses out of the bag! She shed in there!! Well, what a weiner. Once I had her out of the bag, she sat in my hand for a moment, which was inside her cage, waiting for her to go on in. It gave me a chance to really appreciate a skink up close. Her little hands clung on to me, it was quite sweet. Then she made her way into the house and... under a ledge, which she began headbutting. Once she realized that she couldn't burrow INTO the wood, she settled for curling up beside it and making herself at home.

She's gapey right now, lots of display... she's very TUFF. I'm SO excited, words cannot express. THANKYOU MEL, SO MUCH! She was well packed and safe, and I just can't say how happy and grateful I am to have found a breeder in Canada, especially with such beautiful Northerns!

I only took a few photos, obviously. Once she's more settled I'll get more. :)

I swear I will have some MUCH nicer ones, once she's more settled and decides to come out more. :) I don't wanna mess with her too much for photos, so I just grabbed what I could. I am glad you like the ones I quickly snapped! :D

Yay :D What a good lass. Way to make a good impression ^.^ I'd love to claim credit, but CBB animals just generally tend to be awesome about shipping, handling, and eating. And I'll let Fluke and Wasp claim credit for how stunning she is. You take great photos!

Haha, Thanks Mel, I'll let the camera take credit for that, because these are pretty poor, in terms of... everything, really. But they are clear and right now thats what counts. I don't wanna stress her for a PROPER shoot until she's settled in! You can claim as much credit as you want, because this is one gorgeous, sweet lizard! :D

I can't even handle these feeding pictures. AAAAAAHHH!

I think the only way I will last these next 2 weeks is if you post pictures of her every 2 hours Ty. Thanks! :D
