Need more of this! Less glory hunting, more sharing of our own old content.
Made me dig into my old archives and find some gems
Thank you! I really liked your "Portrait before boarding train to Budapest" from your introductory post. Couldn't wrap my mind around it for a while :D
Lizard patrol in the comments! He's watching you O_O
hahaha
very nice photos, you really took me there with you and your mom!
Thank you! :D
I also hope you will follow up your Miku presentation with a showcase of Lulú :D
Love monitor lizards - thanks for sharing!
Though I'm with you - I'd keep my distance, since I know a fair amount about them. Not exactly warm and cuddly, as you've noted.
Thank you!
It might be the case though, that it's because no one hugs them - they are so cold :O Nah, scratch that thought. I still wonder how anyone can keep them as a pet, those teeth, claws and a massive tail, they look more like crocodiles to me :D
I used to keep snakes for pets, both as a kid and as an adult, and I took care of my now-step-daughter's Australian iguana for several months. So I understand the attraction, but I wouldn't personally want a monitor lizard, or a large snake for that matter.
My rule with the snakes was that I didn't want anything that could get big enough to threaten my cats. I had a 5' corn snake, but she was pretty slender, so if they'd had a tussle, she would have lost. Ditto with my ball python, which was much thicker-bodied, but not quite four feet long.
The corn snake was an escape artist, though, so she got loose in the house several times, but the cats never messed with her, and vice versa. For some reason, she always chose to hide out in my ex-husband's leather boat shoe, which at least made it easy to find her. No accounting for taste. ;-)
And no, I never hugged my snakes, though I did enjoy holding them from time to time.
All except for my red-tailed green rat snake, because he was just too nervous to be trustworthy, and I'm not keen on being bitten. Gorgeous animal, but I wouldn't have another of that species.
