Hey everyone who might be reading this!  How's it going?...Really?...That's nice...Well guess what.  I've got a new member to my herp family.  Gotta live up to my name..."Lizardman" right??  So I got myself a new baby Savannah monitor lizard.  It's just a hatchling right now,only about 5" long,but it will grow to be around 3' when it's full grown.  Now the reason I'm calling it "it" is because until it's matured I can't tell if it's a male or female.  So it doesn't have a name or gender as of now.  :P  Lol. 

    Now keep in mind that I didn't just up and get this on a whim,but I've wanted one for a few years now.  I almost did at one time before,but ended up waiting until now.  Some of you might think it is weird and or absolutley crazy to keep these "slimy" things.  Well first of all most,if not all reptiles are NOT slimy.  Amphibians are the slimy ones.  :P  Lol.  Second is that herpetoculturism...yeeees there's a name for it...is a hobby and a passion that a lot of people like myself have.  I don't know what it is but there's something about reptiles and amphibians that amazes and attracts me.  I love em!  :)  Herping is one of the main reasons I'm planning that trip to Borneo.  Lord willing that will all work out.  :)

    Well I guess it's about time to put a squeeze on my chatbox and show yall this here critter.  I don't have a lot of pics of it yet due to the fact that it's kinda camera shy right now.  :P  haha!  It's actualy really skidish and will prolly be for the first week or so in it's new environment.  So here it is.

Right there it's not in the homemade terrarium it lives in,but in a separate tub to be fed.  Yuuuummy mealworms.  :P  Let's get a closer look shall we??

Theeeere we go!  :)

Now here's that homemade...or homemodified rather...terrarium.  It's big enough for now,but once it get's older and ofcoarse BIGGER,then it will have to have an enclosure about the size of a dinner table or sofa atleast.  Lol.  Pretty big. 

    Well that's pretty much all the pics I've got for now.  I will be doing my best to post the life of this little "but not for long" Savannah monitor.  They live to be about 10 to 15 years or more if properly cared for.  They also are very easy to tame and become used to,and even grow to enjoy human interaction.  So if they are taken care of they will grow to become big ol friendly lizards.  Here's some pics of older ones if you'd care to have a looksee.  Lol.

This one looks to be about 5 or 6 months old maybe.

A little older...and bigger.  Lol.

Out for a stroll.  haha.  :)

Well for those of you who were totally creeped out by this and regret ever reading or looking at it and have completly changed your thoughts or opinions about me then...I'm sorry.  Lol.  Hey my name isn't Lizardman for nothing.  Haha!  :)  Actually...my name is Karl,but ya get my drift.  :P  Lol.  Well there you have it.  The first look into the new life of no-name-nor-gender,the savannah monitor lizzard.  :P  Lol.  Well I guess that's it's temporary name.  No-name-nor-gender.  Lol.  Isn't it cuuuuuuute!?!?!  ;)  haha.  Adios!
