The tale of Adamicus and the two Evil Pygmies!

The tale of Adamicus and the two Evil Pygmies! (I couldn't think of a cool name that resembled mine, so pretend my name is Adam)


So the two evil brevs managed to pull and push over a twig in their prison so that it hung over the side this morning. I don't use a lid/top because I made sure all sides were too far way for them to reach, but today they set their master plan into action! The evil demon female was first to exit the prison. She was successful. Next was her companion male, but I had caught him in the act and returned him to his rightful place!

I looked high and low for her, I turned over stuff, and moved dead leaves that had fallen to the floor over in disappointment. She was no where to be found. I left the city called 'chameleon room' as looked for her elsewhere. She had to have gone somewhere, right? She couldn't just vanish into thin air, or could she? I had traveled across the land searching every open city I could find. I searched 'my bedroom,' 'living roomtown,' 'familyroomshire,' and 'kitchen city.' she was not there. I even scaled the highest of mountains and the most treacherous of paths. I climbed Mt. Maroon leather couch and Mt. Jade green sofa to find nothing. I even took the path past the towering castle of Hyperion, the most terrifying of terrible midget sambavas! I had made it past him with an offering of dusted crickets and fresh water.

I warned all giants to watch where they step, but it didn't matter. I went back to 'chameleon room' for just one more search! Alas, she was there on a leaf under my desk trying to make an escape under a dresser where I would not be able to reach her! She had come out from her previous hiding spot, for she was not there half an hour ago! I quickly dove under my desk to stop the evil demon Pygmy from completing her task! She wiggled and squirmed away from me, just out of reach! She looked back with one eye and seemed to mock me with a smile! That's when it happened. The demon was oblivious to my left hand as she smiled her proud, proud smile. I reached as far as I could. I reached farther than I had ever reached before! I had gotten her!!!

Evil Pygmy female's plans had been thwarted! She gave me the stink eye as I returned her to her prison tub. She would not conquer the giants. At least not today.

Very cute story!! (right up my alley!! ) We've all been a part of that story at one time or another.....

Good to see Adamicus defeated the evil pygmies and returned them to their prison!

 

[pssh]

Yes! It really was quite an adventure. She was probably the hardest to find of all the lizards I have had that escaped/went on an adventure. Now if only I could find my tarantula... He's a real escape artist.

It made me sad to call their tub a prison, but they will be moving into a 50 gallon soon. hopefully I can get another female or two for little Olive.

A missing tarantula? Oh noo! That could eat a pygmy easy!!! Cute story, I enjoyed it.

Great story!

Don't feel bad about not finding a pygmy (evil or not) in your house. I once "lost" a 24" melleri in a 900 sq ft house. Amazingly that green and yellow striped dinosaur was nowhere to be found for hours. I checked the back of the fridge where she often sat on the warm motor housing, the tangle of wiring behind the stereo cabinet (she would flap and display to the horrible intruding cham seen in the glass front of the cabinet and eventually go around to the back to find it in person).

I found her perched on the shower curtain rod in plain view. The bathroom tended to be chilly so she had slowed down enough to take a nap.

My tarantula isn't big enough to take her down yet. He's only able to take down 3/4" crickets so far.

The little Pygmy was a whopping 13-15 feet away from the enclosure! I was afraid i'd come home to a smelly rot scented room if I couldn't find her!

Don't feel bad, Carlton. My chams always laugh at me (I know they are) because (in the cage or out) they are always staring right at me right by my face and I'm still looking high and low for them. I think they need to just start shooting their tongues at me and thump me in eye to let me know where they are.

Yeah, I've learned that the soft high frequency vibratory noises are really my chams laughing when they've put one over on me. They especially love doing it in front of admiring houseguests!

My first rescue cham was a female jax from a very caring petshop. They were worried to death about her but the shop was simply too warm and dry to keep her healthy. I brought her home finally. She made it back from death's door and until I could get a cage built, was keeping her in a potted Ficus on the kitchen table. As she recovered she started trying to escape the tree. I would find her sneaking along the pot rim or the table edge more and more. I know chams aren't supposed to hear a human voice, but I swear she would stop in her tracks when I yelled "Oh no you don't! Caught you!" Then she would turn around with a guilty look and climb back into the leaves.
