So my varanus panoptes horni turns 17 years today...
I got him 7 years ago. His trader sold him because he killed his female. He is a beast. Extremly agressive. He is halfway kind towards me but hates anyone else. He is clearly my king of all my animals.
But i checked his papers today and saw his age. Well i was aware of it already but i always wonder how long he will stay with me. Normally they tend to get only 14 years. Similar to a dog. I must admit he shows his age. He is not as active. He is healthy and eats like crazy. But is much more calm.
I fear the day may come where he does not walk under his basking place anymore.
I guess evryone here has "that special" one in his care that he cares most about.
