Been a while since I've been around here...busy with work and taking care of the zoo. lol
Just wanted to post an update on our biggest rescue yet. I'm sure you guys remember the last post, when we got him.
Since we've had him, he's lost about half of his body fat...toned down into a lean mean eating machine. He climbs like a little spider monkey, runs and is doing exceptionally well...and still more than willing to let you interact with him, with no aggressive behavior. We're still working with him on a daily basis and are still happy that we took him in.
He's now on a stead diet of rats, mice, chicks, quail and he absolutely LOVES raw eggs.
And, we're no worse for wear, either. I told you guys I'd be the first to say if we've been injured by him, since there were some of you that were insistant it was gonna happen soon. No injuries to Heather or myself, as of yet and we're still very careful.
All other reptiles are very well, too. Harley, our 14' female Burmese Python, laid eggs a few weeks ago. She bred to Tank, our albino male Burm and laid a total of 21 eggs. Unfortunately, with it being her first clutch, all but 2 were slugs. Then, a week later, the other two eggs went bad.
Here are new pics of the Croc...the horizontal log is aprox. 7.5' above the ground. He measures out at 7' 4" and weighs in right around 18lb.
