Free Larry!

Hello,
Well I think I am going to set Larry free. He does not seem to be doing well in captivity, so I will let him go when I get home from work today. I have yet to see him attempt to eat anything and I am afraid he will just starve himself to death. Maybe if he were a bit larger it would be different.

Just a few weeks left and I will be heading home for home leave. Can't wait, but I can't leave any sooner either. I have already planned to take the last week before I leave off anyway, so I can get packed and get the girls packed and ready to fly home. It will be the second week of Ramadan then, but we will probably just sit at home during the day time. Maybe we will be able to experience the night time, when every one is festive after "Iftar" or breakfast.

So, all that being said I will close for now and say TTYL

Hello everyone,

I was greeted today at work by tiny "Desert Monitor Lizard" maybe an inch long. I opened the computer room and there it was, trying its best to run from me, but the floor is slick and he was not getting away very fast. I found a large empty water bottle and captured it. Using the bottle I created a small terrarium by adding some sand and a few pieces of vegetation. Along with the sand I scooped up were about a half dozen ants, so I included them into the habitat and just before I left work the ant count was down to zero so I located a few more and put them in the bottle. I was concerned at first that the ants might eat it, but I guess he was hungrier than they were. I brought him home to show Ashleigh, and we have decided to call it Larry D' Lizard.

Will keep you posted on Larry's progress.

TTYL

Mike
