"Liz" the lizzard update...

We are starting to be not so sure if "Liz" is a girl... we'll figure it out I suppose. Will wants to find a mate and have her lay eggs. That's going to take some research!

She is doing really well. We are thrilled that she has been so happy living with us. She is fat and glossy and happy! She shed her skin shortly after we got her and we noticed today that she is starting to shed again - so every 6 months or so I guess? She is so pretty and way more fun than I anticipated.

A true story... yesterday, Will fed her 2 crickets and one she ate right away and the other we couldn't find anywhere, just dissappeared! So she ran up to the little cricket cage that is inside her tank (I know, cruel to see your food and not be able to eat it - but they stay warm and live longer, and she would eat them all at once and die from engorgement!)... anyway, she tried to grab a couple through the clear wall of their cage and realized she couldn't SO, she ran up on a stick and looked up at Will and let out a "squeak"! I am serious!!! I had no idea they made noise, but she clearly knows where her food comes from and gets quite animated at feeding time. :-) He rewarded her with a couple more.

So cute - who knew?
