Heeeeere leezard leezard leezard (Dialup killer)

Well, the latest addition to our educational programs has arrived. This is "Wyatt" a 4 year old water monitor. He is just under 5' long and just under 20 pounds. He is not puppy tame, but not aggressive either. Just a little skittish. It will take some time to get him calmed down and used to people. A couple tail swipes if I walk up on him too fast, but no biting. But he is being introduced into a new environment, so that is understandable.

Ahahaha.. that is awesome. It reminds me of some old man or little kid running around.

He seems to have quite the personality just from the pictures.

He is in a temp enclosure right now to get him acclimated. He will likely have the run of the Hot Room soon.

I was actually "Monitor Proofing" the herp room last night and came up with a great idea for an enclosure which will be at least 32 square feet. I just need to work out the kinks. Which is fine since i am trying to get him acclimated anyway.

Of course, this is the first time i have ever got a concussion from a lizard. He was crawling around last night in the hot room and i was bent over looking at him under a cage. His tail knocked down a 5' long cast iron snakehook that came down and whacked me right on the temple. Between the welt on my head and the scratches all over my arms and hands from his claws, the first thing I was asked at work this morning was if i got in a wreck

I'm sorry BW, but that was hilarious last night with the snakehook. You feeling ok today? It looked nasty last night. Monitor: 1, BW: 0. Did you ever get him out from under that rack?

He wandered out on his own. He was just looking for someplace to hide with so many people there.

I got a little welt on my head. God bless frozen peas
