The bittersweet moment has arrived as Jabba got the all healthy assessment at the vet yesterday so he is now available for adoption. In only a week, I have fallen hard for this not so little guy and know that giving him up will be heart breaking. Hoping, just as my boyfriend is, that someone one of us knows will adopt him so we can get updates and maybe a visit here and there.
For those who might be interested, or want to pass the information along, here are Jabba's stats -- Approximately one year old
- Weighs 550 grams (could lose some weight) and measure about 16 inches
- Currently eating live feeders twice a day (dubia roaches & super worms) and a salad (have tried mustard greens, collard greens, cilantro, and zucchini)
- Tolerates baths but doesn't enjoy them
- Adoption Fee is $50
Despite his chubby appearance, he loves darting across my apartment floors and has quite an adventurous spirit. He will submit to some cuddling but being not an adult yet he prefers to stay on the move as if by resting he'll miss something. He doesn't get stressed easily and seems un-phased by my cats and showed no signs of distress the entire time we waited at the vet to be seen despite lots of noises, people, and animals. I believe he'll do best with someone who has the time and ability to let him roam out of his cage for 30+ minutes everyday as he truly does enjoy moving around and exploring.
If you have any questions on Jabba, or on the adoption process, please email me at laurenobrien@reptilerescue.us
Many thanks.
