I'm so glad you have begun a new & healthy life w/your adopted friend. So many times those pets are discarded for the reasons PEOPLE don't take the care & understanding of what kind of labor intensive these so called "carnival pets" can be! I'm 45 & in my day it was either goldfish(in a bowl a thirsty person wouldn't be satisfied drinking out of) or a Cameleon lizard. The goldfish always died after about 2 weeks of having to live in that little bitty space w/no circulation or aeration to let the little thing BREATHE! Oh & the Cameleons-once you got it home it was NEVER SEEN AGAIN! The HSUS should get a grip on these guys!! Where's all those PETA groups when there really is a need for something to be done. Anyway Nemrod is a lucky DUDE to have fallen into your heart!! Plus he is a handsome feller'.Have a Happy St. Patty's Day you 2!!
