The Fables and Parables of a Vegetarian Reptile.

Dear All,

I am distressed. I have a clutch of eggs in my Ovum that need to come out.
My pets, (the humans) have given me soil boxes to dig in, but I just CANNOT wait for them to leave!

They told me I may have between 20 and 60 eggs!! Arrrghh!

I am sure they will take photos of the birthing procedure and I will make sure that these are available to any interested parties.

If you require any information on 'egg laying' or 'gestation' please do not hesitate to ask. As a 4 year old Iguana iguana, I feel I am able to discuss most situations that might occur, from feeding to habitats etc.

Yours,

Verdi-Gris.

Well, lots of photos taken (of me!)
As soon as they get their camera working, they will be published!!

Am growing by leaps and bounds! Too many sheds! It must be all that veg. i'm eating!!

Anyway! Check out my pics. later!
{Not that I am self-conscious or materialistic and all!!}

Well, it has been many days since my last posting and I have done nothing too strenuous since.  It has to be said, the upright people do spend a lot of time on this blog thing when they have a perfectly good television in the next room.  I could be a writer, or a famous author if I was only left alone with the machine.  I don't ALWAYS JUST sit on the monitor...and do nothing...no, no, I am aiding my body to get warm so that I will be up to the task of dancing across the keyboard.  Yes..that's it...I pooh, pooh the UVA rays THEY say I need to survive, I get NUTRIBAL in my food and I'm a millionaire writer.  I am immortal - I can fly.   Ahem!!

Got a little carried away there...the uprights FIRMLY believe that I need UVA on a daily basis...whereas I don't.  The uprights also believe that I do not feel the heat...this is, of course, complete nonsense...if I were burning I'd smell, right?  As I don't smell I am not therefore on fire...logical to me anyway!  So, what do they do?  Despite my hissing and whipping of the tail, they cavalierly place me back in my viv, spray me profusely, put food beside me and expect me to sit on a CORK log under my UVA and spot, when I could be sitting in luxury on a cork message board in the middle of the dining room table with no direct access to heat! - Ha!  Oh, okay then, I do like to slum OCCASIONALLY!

This is my first blog.
