Want a different pet?

yeah, they're great in the car.. people stare and wave n all sorts.. really cool.

whenever we took Millie out (the adult female we lost, and we don't have any others now), the most common question of all is; 'is that real..??'
no, it's a plastic lizard on my shoulder, i'm working up to a parrot..

they are good tho. LS, do you know Haisley then? Can't remember what Millie maxed out at, but she out-shon the main breeders' adults! Half the problem was finding a male brave enough to take her on!

Yeah I have met Haisley before (dont 'know' as such, ex does)... Myself and Ex were at the pet expo with him... mmm... not last year but the one before.
We got some pinkies from him... (pulls faces!!!)... I could never watch him eat the pinkies lol...

have i got a shot for you then.. might post it up, little gruesome tho

nah, we're not keeping any of them. Might do it again in a year or so, just want a break from lizards for a bit after these guys. Millie was larger then Big Boy! (Haisley's male, Millie's dad!)

what if I said they were a grand to start..?? then i've already knocked 200 bucks off

nah, don't need permits for these dudes.. As much as MAF/DoC can't make up their fukin minds on shit, these guys are quite safe, and they really won't last past a couple of days in the wild. Too many things to eat them in NZ, and they need a way warmer climate than NZ offers..

I can't decide who'se the ugliest in pic1, Kit.
I also can't imagine getting the same amount of pleasure and stress relieving juices out of those little critters as I do cuddling my cat!
