Well, just like Noah's Ark it seems animals come to my house in two's. Two cats, two dogs, and due to my husband convincing me to stop at a little pet store, two sulcatas.
We found they had two babies in an arid habitat. Our Peanut was about one-third the size of her room mate. So for a reasonable sum, we had the pleasure of rescuing, erm i mean acquiring her from the shop. I could not in good faith walk away, (and of course my husband was cheering me on).
Peanut is just about one year old (the store said they had her since Jan) She is very active, clear eyed, curious, but also showing early signs of pyramiding. She will only eat green. I tried Mazuri but no interest. So i sneak a bit on her greens, along with some powered calcium, and she has a cuttle bone she pecks at.
The big battle is moisture. I have been soaking her twice a day, and she likes to blow bubbles. We try not to handle her unless necessary to keep her stress down. I am using coco coir for her substrate. I know getting her moisture back is going to be a slow battle.
If she turns out to actually be a "she" her name will be Godiva (to match Godfrey) but for now she is so darn cute and curious we just call her Peanut.
As of today ( at 11 months in age) she is
Weight : 148 grams
Length: 3.25 cm
width: 3 cm
height: 2,25 cm
And yes she does resemble a cupcake with feet!
