They are VERY interesting. I noticed a big change when I moved him out into the family room- much more interactive and bold. I think he's become desensitized to the noise and screaming (two young kids)- he hid for a month or so, then started to get used to it. He lays on his shelf and watches TV alot- not sure what he sees, but it entertains him non the less
. I now find that he will come to the doors whenever I'm in the room, or will peak out to see what everyone is doing. I'd love to start my hand at getting him used to being handled, but sadly I havn't had much time to interact with him lately besides tossing in food and changing water. Nontheless, he hasn't reverted back to being defensive and pissy, which is usually the case if he gets neglected interaction-wise.
I was thinking of getting some bloowork done when he turns two. As so many of these guys die young, I'd like to have regular bloodwork done so I can catch anything early. I was thinking every 6 months. I know it will be stressful, but he's becomming more comfortable with other people, and I think if I work with him alot before bringing him in I can make the experience go much easier for him.
The only problem with monitors is that its contagious
. There's something about having a mini dinosaur in your house that makes you want to get more. Only thing stopping me from getting a water is space and money. I can't really afford to feed another bottomless pit at this point in time.
