Barrie is just visiting.....or is he?

[Catherine]

Barrie is a 3 ft. Columbian Tegu Lizard that someone brought in to the reptile centre. He is over twelve years old and has some health issues.  He needs regular "lizard spa" treatments. I have looked after him at the reptile centre, but he would do better at home with more TLC and more soaking. His sheds are not going well and his eyes get messed up and won't open.  He might be older than we think and just needs a quieter life.
His people were not willing to help him.
So I brought him home to get him in better shape.


This is Barrie



I think he has a pretty face



He was really tired after the excitement of coming home with me.



Yes he is as big as he looks



He had a good dinner and now he has gone back to sleep.



Tomorrow I will give him a good soak and see to his needs.

I really like Barrie and I think I can look after him well. If it works out then he can stay with me. If he is too much for me to handle then he would need a different forever home. He is a strong lizard, but I think he is getting old. I have a bigger tank I can set up when he looks a little better. I would like to keep him and I think he likes me.
