I shut off too early, the big blast came right after I hit stop.

Never noticed until too late.

Chomptober Photo thread...

Let me know if this ever gets boring...

We spent a while out back again with Chomp. He did some hunting, found some yummy worms and slugs, and of course, I was standing over him with the camera.

As we were preparing to drive back there, Chomp sees himself in the mirror and has to get a closer look.



Once we arrived at the base of the hill (mountain, or whatever you wish to call it) we let him out of the truck... He was drawn to the water, as always.

The boiling springs ensure a fairly regular flow of crystal clear water. (Same water that feeds my habitats)







His sense of smell never ceases to amaze me, he knows just where to look. He will dig, flip rocks, roll logs out of the way, just to get a juicy worm or slug.



Someone remind me again how they eat mice

Continued on next post.

Re: Chomptober Photo thread...

Just look at the muscle tone of that beefy front leg, combined with his digging talons for toenails, it may make people think a little. Monitors can get pissed off and lash out at their handlers. Chomper has drawn blood on me more than once.

Now look at the intensity of his focus, there was a lone worm about an inch under that dirt, he dug it up and ate it.



Always looking for snacks...



This guy can dig, he tears up a spot in seconds...
