LOL Catharine, I can only imagine what the Uthmoelleri was thinking looking at all the babies checking him out.

Glad you found your new guy!

Was watching this thread and am glad you found her. It's amazing how well she must have been hiding last night.

As for escape stories, one of my best friends had his juvie Nile monitor escape in his 2nd story apartment. I forget how long it was gone but something like 6-8 months. Long enough for him to miss having a lizard and for the first SD Reptile Super Show to roll around. He bought a replacement tegu and starting raising it up. One day he woke up and the Nile was on a pile of dirty clothes next to his bed. It was very skinny and dehydrated but bounced back and started growing very quickly.

Oh my gosh! That is one of the most amazing stories I've heard. Did he have any theories as to where it was all that time? This has been an interesting thread with hearing these escape stories. Thanks for that one Kent

Glad you found her. Its a horrible feeling to not know where they are. Back when I was a young buck... 10 or so years old..... I had a iguana that jumped from my hands and ran behind the fridge. Dad and I pulled it out to find it chilling about 1" away from a spinning metal fan. we unplugged it immediatly and began to remove metal guards to keep you from sticking your hands in there... that was a scary event. When Vince got loose a few months ago and I found him in the closet I was afraid he had been eaten by one of the cats. Aparently he was looking for a nice pair of slacks.
