So Booger has always been a problem child in one way or another, despite his goofy, out going personality. He’s a bit of a bully when it comes to the females. When they were all still together he would find a way to hang out on top of Tammy and try to flip Teddy over. When it came to Pokey he didn’t bother her and I understand why now. You don’t mess with Pokey. LOL
Well when we removed Pokey out for the RI issues, he decided that was his chance to make the moves on Teddy. I’m not sure if she was a willing participant or not considering she was stuck in the corner of the tank at the time. But Booger found himself being relocated into a tub that included his favourite rock, some leaves to hide in and a dish of water big enough for him to soak in.
And then it got cold…again…and poor Booger and nose bubbles.
Now I would like to say in my defence that I was rather worried about Pokey at the time plus I’m not sure if the nose bubbles were from the onset of RI because of the sudden cold or because he had just chomped into a rather juicy piece of apple. But either way Booger found himself swept into the house and a towel replacing his leaves.
So Booger is now inside in his own little tub and after his little interlude with Teddy. Which also led to his name change as I started calling him a little booger butt and since he seemed to react to it more than Hotrod the name has stuck. Also since his little stunt I’ve been trying to find another home for him. So far I haven’t had much luck. I contacted the zoo who was very helpful in getting me in touch with the reptile guys who an add up at the local herp club. One person has contacted me about him and let them know he was still available and haven’t heard anything back since. That’s okay I don’t think I’d mind keeping booger. He likes to cuddle and by cuddle I mean lay on my forearm next to my elbow, lay his head on my upper arm and watch the world go by. Cute little bugger. …read more
