Liz (Varanus bengalensis)

1. Once a baby monitor with an injured tail started living in a covered dry drain near the hospital kitchen (which is in a forest area). The injury was not serious, but we sanctioned her an egg a day to speed-up recovery. Every morning when the breakfast gong is sounded, Liz would come out and wait patiently for the egg.. She was with us for over a month before finally wandering off in to the forest, fully recovered.

Love your new avatar Jp!!!

What a lovely tale you've told us about this young monitor my friend. I'm so glad she eventually felt well enough to leave hospital and go make life on her own.

A great picture that too lad, thanks.
