Howdy from UK

[Oddbod]

Thought I'd say hi. Ive recently rescued a 2.5 year old yemen from some one locally. Was told they had him from a few months old and had previously kept bearded dragons. When we got him home he was very clumsy (which the previous owner thought was very funny) he kept falling and miss judging his climbing. His UVB tube had not been changed in a long time, his viv was not up to temp or right humidity was very under fed and had no real climbing areas.

Had him now just over a month and hes doing great has put on weight his balance and climbing has improved no end. Hes great, loves being handled and will eat from hand which my 4 year old son loves to feed him his wax worm treats.

Heres a few pics of Boris as hes been named

Welcome aboard - i`m also from the UK and there are several others on here too. He is a good looking guy, thank heavens you got him when you did it sounds like he needed some TLC.

Good for you tho that basking spot looks kinda small and hard to grip at his size

 

[Oddbod]

He dont usually bask there to be honest, just kinda called the pic that. Still working on his set up as it came with a few sticks screwed together in the bottom with was roughly 4" high, have picked up today a nice set of vines which have been twisted together into sort of a square. But am going to be building a new viv with alot more space in, with in the next few weeks.
