Nice pics, Talonsis. Your TAG looks like he's got lots of personality.

Well, I'm not a teacher...I'm an interpreter...so that would mean I'm in a teacher's room all day. Knowing my school, I seriously doubt they'd let me bring Harrison. They're pretty strict. But, thanks anyway.

Very cool pics, Talonsis.

Thanks Judy. I wish I could take her to work. I'm afraid the students would drive her crazy...I have a few grey hairs with their names on them. LOL. I will do as you suggested...thanks!!

I've had the summer off so I've been able to spend all day with Harrison, pretty much everyday. I go back to work in 3 and a half weeks... Should I slowly start getting her back on my work schedule? The first couple weeks of my vacation, she'd come out first thing in the morning for a little while but then wanted to be in her cage until around 3...which is what she'd do when I worked. Well, now she's out all day and she's loving it. I'm really going to miss her when I go back to work...it SUCKS!! I'm more worried how she's going to handle it...any ideas what to do between now and August 20?

Talon, where are your pictures???

I labeled the pictures because I noticed in the last video, I didn't know who was who... Of course, I don't expect you to use them all...I thought I'd give you a variety to choose from... Heather and Harrison

What kind of photos?

Hey, Paramedic...is the "Rdnk" in your username short for "Redneck"? If not, what is it short for?

Woo woo!! Congrats Lidia!! I, too, look forward to learning from you <br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/07/24 15:28

How about Garth Brooks "We Shall Be Free", Sister Sledge "We Are Family", Olivia Newton-John "If Not for You", or Supertramp "Give a Little Bit"...<br><br>Post edited by: HeatherStrella, at: 2007/07/23 21:14

My husband took some more pictures of me and Harrison...this first one is pretty silly looking, but oh well...oh the silly faces we make to please our fids!! I think I hold the record for the most pics in this thread...lol.

Thank you, Judy, for reminding me about the mushrooms. I took them out of the salad mix. I didn't give her any...I was waiting to hear if it was ok or not. I was thinking it was ok for regular mushrooms but not ok for some other kind of mushroom...I don't know what I was thinking. :blink: Harrison is having fun with all the different tastes, textures, and colors. Even if she doesn't actually swallow it, it's something different at least.

It looks like it's so sweet...the way they're handeling her. Poor baby...I wonder why they'd have birds if they're travelers.

I just wanted to share this... It's been difficult to get Harrison to eat her veggies so we've been getting pellets that are made from veggies but I've always known it's not as good as fresh veggies. So, my husband and I went to a salad bar at a health food store the other day...I thought..."why not get a little bit of everything and try it with Harrison"...so I did. It's already washed and chopped...there was a ton of stuff. I've never seen her at her food dish for so long. I got some different kinds of fruit too. She really likes strawberries. In fact, she smells like strawberries. In the past, I've purchased big things of different kinds of lettuce, broccoli, beans, etc, etc, etc (it's the only way those things come, you can't just buy a little at a time)...they would go to waste before she'd eat it all or she wouldn't eat them at all. This just has a little of all kinds of stuff so hopefully it won't go to waste...anyway, I just wanted to share...you guys probably already do this, I'm a little slow on the uptake P.S. I got some regular ol mushrooms but haven't given her any yet, I was thinking I read they are bad...no? Yes? I can't remember now.

Thanks for all the replies

Harrison (recently DNA sexed~female) exhibited mating behavior this morning. She's done some of it since day one so I thought maybe it was begging...but this morning, she actually turned her rear up to me. It started out with her trying to regurgitate...then the soft grunting sound...then the wings drooping...then after that, she turned around with her tail toward me and turned her vent up...tail to the ceiling. I wasn't petting her or anything before that...we were just sitting on the couch...me on one side and her on the other...my hand was on her side and she started the regurgitating on that hand. The breeder says she hatched on 12/31/05 but don't they do this at a much older age?? I'll show pics of her at the age I think she is according to the breeder... 3 months old 6 and a half months old 9 months old a little yellow at 15 months old That's really all I have of her eyes up close where you can see the color...her eyes still aren't totally bright yellow. Any opinions? I guess I'm questioning everything the breeder said now because she said Harrison was male. Don't get me wrong, I'll love her just the same if she was 50 years old...I'm just wondering why she's showing signs of the mating behavior so early... Thanks, Heather

I hope it's ok to bring up an old thread like this...I just wanted to post this... I was hanging out with Harrison and I was leaving the room and I said "I'll be right back" and she said "Hurry up!"...ha. She is just amazing.

Cool...are you in Northern California? Do you ever go to East Bay Vivarium? I love that store!!!

What kind of reptiles do you have? I have 5 leopard geckos, 2 pictus geckos, and a smooth knob tail gecko.

Tricky, I looked at the websites you provided the links to. Harrison's underside of her tail looks like the female pics...so that's consistant with her DNA results.

Holy cow, I didn't realize that you're an Administrator...I thought you were a moderator. How did you get that job?? Congrats and good job on the video Nice looking fids.
