Is there anyone out there? In an attempt to strike up a discussion, I'm going to just blab on. I am melissa, the love of my life is snowball. I got him last summer as a rescue, it was love at first sight. We estimate that he is about two. He did his normal hiss and dance with me when I opened his box lol i laughed and scooped him up. I called him snowball because of the bunny from the secret life of pets...all tough and showy on the outside, but melts at a cuddle.
My on beardie friends don't understand why i love him so much and they kind of roll their yes at me when i drone on about him. which led me here, even though it seems real quiet,
I have him on a pellet diet, for i have tried to get him to eat every fruit or veggie that is beardie safe and he's a no go on it. He does love his hornworms, i spoil him. When he is eating, the dumb comes out.... it seems almost like he has a depth perception issue, it's hilarious to watch him aim for food repeatedly and not get it. I don't think it is just my guy, but they are super dumb, amazingly smart creatures.
Snowball has a vast array of human like expressions, he snubs me when i don't talk to him all day, i love it when he tilts his head to the side like he is pondering.The thing that amuses me most is how he cannot get out of his open tank. I have steps and everything for him to get out, but he still insists on finding a hole through the glass it seems. He love photo ops, I think i have more pictures of him than i do of my children.... aside from them being older and hating pictures.
I am really interested to find out what fun, cute or interesting, even dumb things that your babies do. I can always tell what mood snowball is in because he only goes light gold when he is happy. He loves to jump on the floor and terrorize my girl cat yuki, my boy cat neji doesn't care at all. My baby will go around the house headbobbing everything. He likes to headbob and chase yuki, which usually ends up in a lick to her nose (there is no black beard or posturing involved).
Bath time is not a super happy time He usually has to hold my hand and tail is up for 75% of it. He does love his scrubs with a soft toothbrush though. After the bath, he gets swaddled in his towel which he loves, for like 5 minutes until he feels the need to explore. He doesn't seem to like the warm temps much, i usually have to put him in his hammock which i only keep between 95 and 105. I figure this is just his personal preference. He lets me know he is happy or unhappy. I have never owned a reptile before him, and i don't know why i waited so long. There are still a few little minor things i am figuring out, but i love it.
so now that i have droned on, please feel free to talk about anything related to your baby. I dont have many people who understand. It truly is a pet that many other people have an irrational fear or disinterest in.
Show me this place has life in it
