Seeking Experienced Herp Keeper!

Shelli

I have a two beautiful reptiles looking for a new home.

First is Al the Bearded Dragon, he's roughly 3 years old and an absolute sweetie, he loves being stroked and bathed, and human contact. He will sit on your knee being stroked for hours on end. He is not suitable for a colony however, as he is hostile towards other beardies, even females, and has attacked a female badly in the past, this also makes him unsuitable for breeding.

Second is Lenny, veiled chameleon. His age is unknown, but it approximately 4 years. He was very badly treated as a young cham, and this has left some unsightly physical effects, he is very thin and his crest is slightly bent. His marking are beautiful though and he would make a beautiful addition to any experienced keepers collection. He is a fussy eater and will mostly only eat locusts and wax worms, as he was so undernourished in the past he must have regular vitamins added to his food (a little extra to a normal cham). Despite his unfortunate early years he is currently in excellent health. He does not like to be handled and will hiss and display threatening behavior when approached with a hand, and he must be picked up with extreme caution when its time for an enclosure clean out. He will eat from your hand or a tweezers, and possibly for someone with the patience and experience may even tame a little with time.


I love these babies dearly, but unfortunately due to personal circumstances right now, they are just not getting the time they deserve.

If you think you could give either of them a good home, please contact me. I will have to ask you a few questions to make sure you are the right person, so please don't be offended by the grilling you'll get!! LOL

Please don't waste my time if you are not experienced, these are not beginner pets, especially the chameleon, they both need very special care.

Shelli I am in Laois & yes I used to have a baby bosc called Monty.

When did we meet??

Shelli

I bought some sugar gliders from you a while back!

I don't have any way of getting to Laois these days though, will you or anyone you know be in Dublin any time soon?

Our man in Havana

Where in Dublin are you? I will see if my friend can meet you & get the reps.

Do you still have the gliders??

Shelli

Unfortunately no, they figured out how to pop the side door of the cage, clever little critters, Mia escape. I kept pouches hung around the place for weeks and left food out for her too, but no sign, my worst fear is that she got out of the house somehow and one of the local cats got hold of her.
Jasmin had a seisure of sorts, I brought her to the vet and she said that it was a type of epilepsy, common in gliders or so she said. Nothing anyone could have seen coming... She was fine for about another 7 months or so and then one evening she had another fit, she died that night. She was such a sweetie, she bonded really well and loved play time.

I was considering getting another pair, but my little fella came along and I knew I wouldn't have the time needed unti he is much older.

Shelli

Oh BTW, do you have tanks/enclosures for the reps? I'm based just beside Glasnevin cemetary.

Our man in Havana

I do have tanks etc - I do need to a few days to sort things out first hun,

Oh I remember you telling me about the Mia - I still have her photo on my computer with her dad Sorry to hear Jasmin also died - I hate losing pets.

Fair play to you both folks. Its great to see conciderate and mature people willing to dig each other out and take a creature off one caring owner to another!

Boards needs more of this!;)

I work in Dublin and live in Kildare - Laois is not too much further, so if your mate can't do it PM me and I will be able to help. (I would need something to transport them in though)

Shelli

Ah lads, your generosity astounds me. I really am so grateful to everyone who's offered their help!

Our man in Havana

Thank you so much for the offer Helena - I may have to take you up on this offer - but will see what I can work out over the weekend.
