Eldorado passed out in his hammock
That's ketchup on his hammock. He got loose poop last weeks so he was getting his supplements and meds that way. Couldn't wash it because he was always sleeping in it. His poop firmed back up and he had a perfect poop last night. He scared me bad this one day though,
So I gave him his afternoon ketchup and he was laying in there whit his head and arms sticking out of the pouch looking all cute. Later he still was but had relaxed more and his arms were laying off to the side and his head off to one side.
After awhile I got to fretting that he looked too relaxed. Opened up the cage door and saw he was breathing but he didn't react. Poked at him through the hammock. no response. Shook the hammock no response. Did it harder, no response. Poked him directly and no response. He was limp and his head just rolled around. Shook him some no response. Start muttering and panicking and then shake him even harder and he finally woke up throwing his arms out ready to fight.
Turns out he was just sleeping deeply but happily for me he has been sleeping normally sense then. He also gave us a fight trying to get him out of the hammock when the vet came to see him, so he's gotten stronger.
so we were quiet while we dealt with his loose poops but it's looking good now. These guys can be such worries.
Resting on a branch
He had his head in the crook of the branch but decided he needed an arm for a pillow. Day of the vet before she arrived.
Sleeping in his dirt box
He got up early and had a serious grooming season then slept in his dirt box. So I washed his hammock.
Pua was not thrilled to be pulled from the washer but it had to be done. I tried showing her to him last night again and she was okay but then Eldorado smacked his claw on the cage. Okay he was defending his food but you are supposed to give a warning hiss first. This boy has no manners. Of course that scared Pua. Will have to find a way to try and introduce them on neutral ground when he has more energy.
At least the boy sleeps cute
Hugging his foot in his sleep
I think someone is watching me
He ate upside down for a bit before coming all the way down
Afternoon sleep
Oh and there is a lizard hiding somewhere in my room
lizard body
He appears to be an alligator lizard
. Jake caught him and set him loose in my room. He will be set free soon as I can catch him.
