My Lizard Is Limp

[yellowbronco]

Ok ok, so it's not what you think!

I was installing a telephone line today when my machine pulled an old roll of tar paper out of the ground...and then I saw something else! It was a little salamander!! Unfortunately he got pulled up as well and got some carnage to boot. One of his legs got yanked off I put him in a box and took him home, we got a tank and some crickets and whatnot and called the pet store. They said he should pull through just fine. So, my kids have a pet, and I have a story and a guilt complex for crippling a salamander.

I actually dont have a salamander I have a savanha monitor, mean little bugger. I had a salamander when I was young I just remember keeping them moist and feeding them all the worms that I could dig up.

Give him a wooden leg and an eye patch for added effect.

Having Sobe green tea flash backs with Freddy the lizard...

well now!

Monitors and salamanders are wholly different vegetables entirely! Salamander tries to take your finger off it's funny and tickles... Monitor tries that jazz and you're bleeding and full of puncture wounds!!!!

Zoikes!!!

yeah but he's just a little monitor.....................................for now

Way to go, Chris. By the way, the limp lizard sounds like a personal problem. . .

I had a mean savanah monitor also that would spray me when I picked him up and also wanted to eat me alive. I didn't shed a tear when he went to monitor heaven I do miss watching him eat though. Anything he would eat was a real show. Mine would only eat mice. I hope he gets tammer but I doubt he will. Maybe if you hold him w/ meat slicing gloves My friends monitor was HUGE 3' long and heavy too

We did have a newt for a day that swam under a log in the aquarium and never came back up for air. What's the difference between a Newt and a Salamander?

maybe the intelligence level. yeah I am trying to hold him but is hard when every time you try to get a better hold of him and he gets a little movement he tries to do a swan dive outta my hand. My last one was really nice, not to smart though casue he pulled a Gaundi........till he died

CenturyTel down here in SW Colorado, it's pretty decent work. I like getting to play on equipment and dig stuff up. Besides the salamander I have also dug up a dog and a cat...but they were dead.:sick:

And name him Tripod or Long John Salamander.

i would like to see pics of a peg-legged salamander.

it might grow its leg back, you never know. i had a salamander named stephan, he was huge and liked to eat pinky mice, large crickets and worms. they need standing water or an always moist substrate and a place to hide for sure.

So far no new leg, but he's fairly spastic. Did yours wag his tail at you? Happy (the salamander) gets totally stoked when we come over to his aquarium and he'll start wagging his tail. Very bizarre, but I've never had a salamander before so maybe this is normal??

mine never wagged his tail, but he knew i brought the food so he would always come out when i came around
