Zabubafu,
nicknamed "BooBoo" became a member of our family just under a
year ago at approximately one year old. BooBoo is very calm, friendly,
and has a very distinct personality. We are not sure if BooBoo is a
male or a female, and have referred to him as a "he" since we adopted
him. We are now however, starting to believe that he is really a she
due to BooBoo's recent "Motherly instincts." Zabubafu used to live with
a Mountained Horned Dragon named Elmo. When Elmo passed away, BooBoo
was devastated and stopped eating for almost two weeks. She just seemed
so sad. Her color changed from bright green to black, and she seemed to
be depressed, so we adopted a pal, Picachu, who is a much smaller
Chinese Water Dragon. From that day forward, BooBoo had a purpose. She
has assumed the motherly role and babies Picachu so much. She snuggles
with Picachu all the time, and always lets Picachu have the first choice
of branches in their home. They sleep together, and BooBoo won't eat
until Picachu has eaten first. She is non-aggressively protective of
Picachu, and we think that she believes Picachu is her child. She is
very loving and affectionate toward her, and it has been quite odd, yet
refreshing, to witness such a tender, loving, motherly instinct from a
lizard.
