Hi everyone! We have raised our African spurred since a little hatchling/baby ♥ Ernie has been a part of our family and great "pet" for about 23 yrs now ! He's heavy, solid, getting huge and really showing his personality the older he gets. We've been lucky with him and his health..especially since were in MI ..i have to say ...without jinxing myself... The only time we had to deal with Ernie being sick was as a baby..not quite sure how old exactly. Its incredible the info on this forum ! So glad i found it!! [/font]
