SHE wasn't fed the proper diet of whole small animals by the previous owner, instead she was fed chicken breast, end result, Metabolic Bone Disease. On top of that, she got a very bad burn from her heat light.

Sorry, Serp, couldn't help myself! Before and after (Boris). Miscelaneous herp stuff! Any pics of your 30 year old Lacie?

I should have said, great effort, RSP, not many who would have the dedication required for that one !

Naww what a cutie, shame that someone didnt know how to care for her properly, but she looks really happy, well done for taking the time to care for her

Although he's physically deformed he's still a very appealing monitor. I'd be happy with him in my collection. Good to see he's gone to an appreciative owner.

Thanks, she is a lot of work, especially since I have to force feed her still (because she can't get the rats past that bend in her snout).

I want to see this 30 year old lacie too.

This is a pair of netteds I rescued a few years back, the larger one died within a week despite the best efforts of myself and a vet, the smaller one is great now, she is in the last picture on the left.

 

[richardsc]

I have 7 beardie babies rescued from a breeder who produced large numbers for pet stores. Unfortunately they didn't feed them properly and all are missing limbs.

More Misfits

What about more of just the OLDIES... no deformity or scarring needed, just the ones that were hot as yearlings, but just not so much at 8 years old...

Happens to the best of us... Are the hollywood reptiles getting implants? Collagen? So much pressure....

She's doing pretty good now. She hasn't grown much (the vet told me she will stay small for the rest of her life, because of the MBD), but she still has the lacie appetite and if she doesn't get fed, then she chases me.

Feeding is getting very difficult, because she has to be force fed, her jaw has become very strong and she resists when I try and push a rat past the bend in her jaw. Normally the rat ends up shredded and falling apart by the time I get it in there, there must be an easier way of feeding her, I just don't know what it is.
