How come Pod is dead?

Yeah… Sorry to let you know that my water dragon died… I’m not sure of what happened but he drowned in the aquarium that is in its vivarium… Can’t exactly what is the cause, either he died of some disease, or he got into the water and was unable to get out… However, there was some plastic plants that were accessible in the water (as always), so I think it should have been able to get out. Anyway, I can’t do anything about it now, it’s gone. It happened a couple of days ago so I had some time to think about whether I’ll get another reptile or not. I’m tempted about a snake. Less agitated, eats once a month… I’ll see later on.

Skinks!

Recently, I (re)discovered a very nice lizard species: Skinks. In fact, I knew blue-tongued skinks, and I discovered prehensile skinks. Prehensile are especially nice, since they have a prehensile tail, their tail can support the weight of the lizard. Here is a picture of a magnificent one (see left):

I really think it is the ideal lizard: Vegetarian or omnivore (many people don’t like feeding their pet with live insects), and very calm. I wish I could beed them, but I don’t think it is realistic. They cost about 200$ each, and it requires a lot of time and care. I can just hope that skink reproduction will raise in my area.
