Just got two beautiful Ornate Sudan Plated Lizards (Gerrhosaurus major bottegoi) from Ed Clark. As many of you know, these animals - alas! - are still only available as imports. Often they arrive in dreadful condition: emaciated, riddled with ticks and mites, internal parasites galore. It is extremely rare to find young adults with fully intact tails, all their toes and claws, etc. These animals from Ed are perfect. As with all such animals, I will treat them with fenbendazole. I do not have to worry about quarantine, as they will be my only animals: I lost a male some time ago I had for over a dozen years. These two I have confirmed as 1:1, something Ed was fairly certain of, but did not make the mistake of guaranteeing (the species is notoriously difficult to sex properly). All in all, a great transaction, a more than fair price, and wonderful job at careful packing with well-insulated box and a long-lasting heat pack that was still nice and warm once I received the animals. Thanks, Ed! I look forward to enjoying these new pets for many years to come...
