my new foster, butterbean

Postby Spindown » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:23 pm

Butterbean just came home with us! He (feel free to guess on gender, we dont actually know) is a 3-4 year old Indo. He is very calm and tolerates people well. He needs a nail trim, but other than that and a small kink at the tippy tip of his tail, seems to be in good health. Active and flicking his tongue, hes wandering around on my desk, now that hes warmed up :)

He has some lovely dark markings! We are looking forward to fostering him!
Oh and he just shed. yay!
butterbean has been added to my Iherp. He will be fed tomorrow, with the rest of my guys. He is so cuuuuute!

anyhow, enough ramblin, here are some pics!

"whats going on? where am i?

I"m terrible at getting birds eye shots, but i tried.

Guys, in our adoptions program, animals that are in foster/adopted are not allowed to be bred. Just saying.
Also, I dont get to keep this little guy unless we adopt him, but i really want to be a consistent foster home, so I'm going to try to not get too attached. Cant keep everything I foster :)
I'm still learning procedures on this, as its my first foster. He/she really is a beauty though, and who knows, we might break down and keep. :D

I'll guess he. And again, so gorgeous. If you were nearby I'd adopt him in a heartbeat. I've always adored bright yellow Indos :) And he has the cutest back-legs ever <3
