Tid-Bits of Info

Charlotte, NC, United States
I'm a college student. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, though i prefer some to others. Recently I've been obsessed with Herps as a whole, not surprising actually. I blame Charizard, my big fat orange spiky monster.

Bwaarrrrrrr

So were off to Repticon again, Atlanta this time :)

I'm going to look at everything, and to stop Ace from bringing a new friend home....
But it's this Saturday, when i have work. BUT! I asked my boss 2 weeks ago if i could switch days with someone so i could go. I told her if she couldn't find anyone then i wouldn't go and would be working Saturday morning. She said cool and like a week later a co-worker texted me asking if i was able to take her place on Monday or Tuesday. Tuesday works for me so im covered :)

We'll be getting up at 6am like i do for work and probably arrive sometime after it starts which is 10am. Repticon ends at 5pm so i dunno when we'll be back, most likely not very late. Long car drives are long.

Tales of Symphonia

So me and Ace hung out again today, too bad a friend of ours couldn't join. It's cool though. But we started replaying Tales of Symphonia, great game by the way. Check this out

But Ace has never played, really hard to not tell him what happens or what certain things mean or who Lloyds father really is :p

So Repticon was awesome

Were back from Repticon :)

It was pretty cool, shit ton of snakes though. But the corn and king snakes were pretty neat, really cool morphs. Saw a Silkie in person, they are bald.

But we now have a Frilled lizard and a Savanah Monitor with some very interesting colors. He bit me yesterday too, he got startled by something. It hurt because of how hard he bit me, not nessisarily his teeth. Hot water got him off, thumb is sore but good :)

Took Charizard and the new monitor named Matches to the second day today. Charizard seemed to enjoy himself, as did Matches.

Upterdating and a cute moment

So my itty bitty is doing much better. it looks like it may have been a bit of shed that didnt come off, i cant find the little red spot anymore. I've decided to name her Sandfire, though if i think of a better one i'll let you know :p

So while getting crickets last night we were walking back to my truck and this van that wasnt even going to petsmart pulled near our spot to park. It was a little girl and her dad and possibly uncle, they said they liked out iguana. We currently had Winston with us, wrapped in beardi burrito. We laughed a bit and explained that he was a bearded dragon. The little girl squeeled and hid but soon came over to see him up close. They seemed pretty interested in him. We said that he was pretty chill and wouldnt bite, so she and her dad could pet him. We said that he was also a rescue and they thought that was pretty cool too. They then walked off to officemax, which was another store down from the petsmart.

Has a sad

So we came back from skiing and my itty bitty was acting funny. Lifting her leg up and looking at it, walking low to the ground, squinty eyes. So we picked her up immediately and checked her over.

It seems she was bitten in the crook of her back foot. Because its the crook we doubt her tank mates did it (Black Beard is still being separated), it sounds more likely that a cricket bit her. It looks like it too, tiny little red spot that doesn't look like 'Nugget' bit her (Ace's itty bitty is lovingly referred as a chicken nugget because of how round she is).

We got her eating, since it seemed like she was having trouble getting to the crickets before 'Nugget' does. She looks like she is in pain though, only food or sudden movements really get her to open her eyes completely. I hope she'll feel better and doesn't contract an infection. Ace says she is doing ok and the bite doesn't look worse.

But everyone else is doing ok, Winston is doing good with eating. He will have his beardi belly back. Tai is not eating again, not sure why again.... hopefully he's just bored. Apparently water dragons can get bored with their food. Charizards still fat and happy, and an attention whore. Ivan's colors, OMG he has them. We will post pictures soon on the blog, or rather Ace will.
