Heloderma Antics

There are some things you have to get used to behavior wise. One of the biggest ones, is finding them dead. Not actually dead, but they do a heck of a good impression when they’re sleeping. They do not have any stressing weighing down their mind either so they sleep like a rock. When you first find one laying like this, it really gets you because you have to poke them a few times before you see signs of life, and right at that point you have irritated a venomous lizard :joy::joy:

This is a lizard with NO hecks to give. Not one. Middle claws raised to the universe.

I’ve seen my beadeds come close to that head laying on the tail posture but baby seems to do it anytime they get frustrated with their cage lol.

Even though they get along having Silk Spectre in with The Comedian who is my most defensive lizard I’m always like “well he killed her this time” :joy:

They’re my favorite lizard species by a mile. So much fun and so pretty.

0/100 care level :joy:

Who knows how productive we would all be if we slept with this little on our minds!
