Re: Live Monitor Left in Dumpster

I think I actually saw a headline about this, and steered clear because I figured it'd piss me off. I'm very happy to see that there's more to the story, and that this little guy is getting what he needs. Well done, and many kudos to you!!

Aw thanks! I'm glad you decided to look! Hopefully his story will have a happy ending.

Re: Live Monitor Left in Dumpster

This is awesome. Thank you for taking him in. He couldn't be in better hands.

It's sick to think that someone would just throw out a live animal like trash...

Thanks Little Wise Owl! I don't understand how anyone could throw out a live animal...

He's pretty big, about 18 inches total length. I'm not sure how quickly monitors grow when they aren't well-supported, but I know he's at least a year old...

Re: Live Monitor Left in Dumpster

good job!!!!

it sad to heard people will just do that, I help a friend with his store and last time we got a rescue sav from someone how only feed him hamburguers, he's sooooo overweight that could bearly move, we are in the process of getting him healthy again, he's starting to move more and is very active, thanks for what you did for that beautiful sav

Re: Live Monitor Left in Dumpster

Update!

So he's developed QUITE the appetite! He's become much more agile and I've started leading him around the enclosure with food. We're starting off slow, but he's gradually becoming more coordinated and quick with his strikes! Exciting to see!

Big 'ol dopey grin!




His skin is becoming lighter by the day




Finally a tongue shot! He has a longer tongue and a deeper fork than the ladies!


Still skinny, but gaining muscle definition!


The stuck shed on his tail that seemed to be restricting circulation has come loose. There's still some more to go.

Re: Live Monitor Left in Dumpster

Finally approaching me and curious about the camera (camera comes, food follows)




Mouth wound healed!!!






Nails wearing down! His toes are almost straight!
