IVORY SULCATA: Sunday with Snowflake

[DeanS]

Here are a few shots of Snowflake! I particularly like the shot of her head tucked in! But, the yawn shots really show the extent of the damage she sustained when a rat bit off a portion of her lower jaw. For more than a year and a half, we feared the worst! She lacked enrgy...she was incapapble of putting on size. Even now, she is a little over 3.75" and 130g...at two and a half years! She is feisty though...she eats her own pile of lasagne with pulverized alfalfa...and she'll spend up to an hour eating...she is soaked alone...for obvious reasons! And only recently, has she started to graze...and given that she is missing a portion of her lower jaw...she does quite well! She even made a little friend! Enjoy!

She is cute!!! With the missing part of her jaw, when her mouth is closed, does her tongue always hang out? Do you have to keep it moist?

I was going to ask if she was missing her tongue. It's hard to tell whether that is her tongue or just a scar.

It's a scar...her tongue is intact!
