Oh, I nearly forgot to show you Fernando Flamenco Ferdinand's Christmas outfit!



Excuse the untidy garden, I hadn't taken out the dead plants yet.

 

[Shezbug]

Fernando Flamenco Ferdinand nearly looks as handsome as Panzer. I love that you have so many outfits for your garden flamingo

Panzer is a beautiful Tegu! I've never seen a black and white one before. Thanks for giving him a home!

I can't get over how beautiful and amazing this big ol' boy is. I love the spot on the end of his snoot.

Closer inspection has led me to believe that he may have infectious stomatitis (mouth rot). His vet visit is probably gonna cost a whole lotta dollars, but he's so worth it.

Awww so sweet!

Hmm rex the alligator had mouth rot and also was stunted at 4ft with an upturned snout because she was kept in a box that was way too small for 27 years. They used bicarbonate of soda(in a paste) on her teeth and gums to get rid of the mouth rot but still use it regularly.

You're in very good hands panzer!

I want to give him head pats! What a sweetie boy.

Oh no!! Poor wee alligator. That sounds awful! I hope she's doing better.

About how long is Panzer and do you know an approximate weight? Just curious.

Because of his missing tail tip, he's just under four feet. I tried to weigh him on the bathroom scale (on his own and in my arms) but he's a wiggly worm who just wants to explore and the scale was having a heck of a time, so the readings ranged between 11 and 13.5 lbs.

Just got home from Christmas dinner at my mum's and let Panzer out for a stroll, and he clambered right up onto the sofa and on my chest. I'm a heated bed.

Really puts his size in perspective!

 

[Mockinbirdiva]

He's huge!

 

[faislaq]

When I read there was an alligator in your tub I was bracing for some freakish, random reason but I felt less surprised than I think I'd be if it'd been anybody else's thread.

Congratulations on your new, sweet boy.

Next up, a horse.

We need to know the second this happens.

all I see is "on γɒƨ Ɉ'nɒɔ I"

I hope Panzer has not stolen the flamingos outfit! lol.

I'm glad Fernando didn't have to sacrifice his style for Panzer's photo shoot! He probably has backup outfits.

You sure are! What a snuggle bug. I'm so happy for you.

So far this is my favorite photo of him. It is great to see how big he really is and I am glad you are so careful and vigilant with your animal care routines.......I would hate to think of what he could swallow if he was roaming free and got hungry. I can not believe how massive he is Thank you for sharing so many pictures of him, I love him!

I love these guys! So jealous and so pretty! I can’t have one since I don’t have the room anymore and I’d probably get a caiman lizard if I got a bigger lizard one day. Honestly I need to date someone that can handle venomous snakes and big lizards because I can’t handle venemous and big lizards are too much work lol

 

[taxidermynerd]

Out of curiosity, what do you keep him in? Do you have like a gargantuan tank, or another thing? I'm curious, inquiring minds want to know lol

He's stunning! Congratulations on your new family member!

At the moment he's in a 7 foot long wooden terrarium I originally built for someone else, but in the spring I'm going to make him a new and bigger one, since it's not very wide and he can't really utilise vertical space by climbing, being blind. I also want to have his new one better waterproofed, since he requires much higher levels of gradient humidity than the Savannah monitor who was originally going to live in it.

Outside of his tank, he has a massive humid hide (tupperware storage bin with a fogger, lol) and a basking lamp in my living room for when he's exploring. He's already spoiled.

Congratulations! He's absolutely beautiful!
