Another one of those "guess what I'm getting" threads ...

No, it's really not. I already got them.

LLL Reptile got in a shipment of melleri yesterday. They had three. Now we have them. This is Drew. He is the worst of the bunch. He did drink a little but hasn't eaten. We almost didn't take him but he looked at me with those sad eyes and I looked at Jeremy (my hubby) with sad eyes and said "Can't we get all three?" And so we did.

His color is better this evening than in this photo. I'm trying to leave him be but I keep wanting to go up to him and say "EAT EAT" like I am his Italian mother ... he's large but very very thin.

The other two are smaller but in much better shape. Eating everything we gave them and active. Really bad bent and broken rostrals though.

Very nice, i love melleri

I would guess Malawi or Mozambique since Tanzania is closed....

Thanks everyone. They are doing okay this morning - just waking up. One seems to have an injured foot but not too bad ... looks like a bruise on the bottom.

I don't know where they are from - I asked but nobody seemed to know.

Yes, we have quite a few now ... a dozen is a good number ...

Melleri are awesome and I hope you can find a good one but it should be a crime to sell them like this. I guess I can't complain since they sold them to me but to put one in a box and ship it? Not a good idea.
