She/he is here!! 8 inches SVL....29 inches STL. Rae (the previous owner) is a really nice lady who has done a wonderful job socializing this ig.  Oddly enough, both the previous owner's son and my son are named Ryan. ;D Thankyou Rae and Ryan for trusting us with your baby. We promise to take good care of Herbie. Here are the pics we just took.      |

Oh, Tesa! What a gorgeous iggie! Such beautiful color and markings! (i think i'm jealous) Isn't a shame they don't stay that bright and colorful their entire lives?
Good for you for taking on a rescue (i assume that's the case, even though herbie doesn't look abused - there are many reason for rescue) and I hope to see lots more pix of Herbie and plenty of stories about how he adjusts to his new home.

Rae said she thinks Herbie is about 3. (?) Those little claws were fierce! I was bleeding from several places in less than a minute. And she wasn't even thrashing around!  She's had a pedicure now. Gosh I'm not used to working with tiny feet like that! |

Congrats Tesa!!!
What a cutie he/she is. I'm so happy for you both!
No sooner did I remove Herbie from the Adoption Board than we received an adoption application for him! LOL Good timing!
Good Luck, I know Herbie will be well loved and well cared for.

**gasp**
That was close!
Thanks everyone! We are absolutely in love already!
Ryan sat on the couch watching TV and holding her for a good hour. She has been out of her cage more than in, AND seems to be enjoying it.

3 years old?? She looks so small. 8" svl is the size of a one year old. I'm sure she will thrive in your care Tesa!

I know she is the size of a yearling. I haven't a clue what her care was like before Rae got her, so it's nearly impossible to tell how stunted her growth is. I can't remember how long Rae told me they had her.  Im tempted to call and find out, but I don't wanna bother the poor woman. She's a real nice lady, and only gave Herbie up because she wanted her to have a home where she would receive more attention. (She definately got that giving her to us.....spoiled rotten lizards at MY house) ;D Thrasher was 3 when I got her and almost exactly this size, so it's definately possible that Herbie is older than she looks. Thank goodness Rae was giving her calcium supplements..... |
