Wow, I just saw this one -- I was so scared reading the story that little Eugene was going to get lost in the sewer, I'm so glad you found him!!! :shock:

What a lucky little skink, to have such a dedicated dad!! :-D

Zach I know I may be a bit late with this post seeing as I haven't been on in forever, but wow, what a story...and it's true, a picture tells a thousands words...you can see by the look on your face in that one picture right after you rescued Eugene how relieved you were. Man, that is completely unreal. I am so happy that he is ok though.

I think you should come on more often. :wink:

I agree too. I mean, you own the goddess of all skinks! We really do need more pictures of her...

How's the little guy doing? Is his tail healing okay?

Hef · Postby **Hef** » Fri May 26, 2006 2:00 pm

you are all right. I have been really busy with my band lately, and also work and school, but I promise I will come on more. we are in the process of recording songs for our myspace website and for our EP. the myspace is myspace.com/hollywoodfalls if you guys wanna check it out. as for Lissa, she s shedding right now, still her same spunky self. She has been very sweet lately, I just wish I could take her out more. I need to borrow a digital camera and take some pics of her for you guys. On a sad note, I really think I am gonna sell her this year at Daytona. I just don't have time for trying to breed her and I don't have money to buy another male, I am really strapped for cash. I have only tried breeding her once in two and a half years, and I feel like she needs an owner who is dedicated and has the resources to breed her. I think I am gonna have Ben Siegel broker her for me at Daytona, unless someone on this board is interested in buying her...(which would be awesome if it were someone on the board). Seeing as I am much more motivated to sell her this time around, the price is a LOT lower than I asked the first time I tried selling her. I am going to ask $3,900 for her. Actually, I think I'll make a separate post of this and I'll post a classified. If anyone knows someone who may be interested in her, and you help me sell her, I'll offer a $100 commission. Aside from that, I hope everyone is doing well, and once again Zach glad to hear Eugene is ok. give me a call sometime if you wanna chat buddy. -Alex

Very interesting. Zach are you doing anything to it (you know like putting anything on it, etc) or just letting it heal on it's own?

Postby **Zach** » Fri May 26, 2006 4:32 pm

At the moment, I'm just letting it heal on its on.

When he came out of the pipe, the open wound was of course filthy. I cleaned it thoroughly, and let it "breathe" overnight. I didn't want to cover it. The wound was so open and hollow that I also didn't feel comfortable admistering any ointment. The next day it looked so much better that I again didn't feel the need to put anything on it. It's gotten better each day, and I'm keeping a very close eye on it!

Cool! It's looking good. :thumbs:

I like the updated pictures of it. Keep it up, Zach. I don't think I've seen a tail autonomy in progression from break to heal. Might be a good project, Zach. Especially for the caresheet, because a first-timer might really freak out over this.

Looks like it's filling in quite nicely. Great job Zach...well great job Eugene, I guess... I don't know. Way to go everybody!

:thumbs: It's like deja vu . . . I think you're doing the right thing. Are you keeping him just on newspaper?

I still think you should put all the pictures together when the tail has completely healed and create a time-lapse video....

Yeah ask poor Zach to do something ELSE that won't get done for a while.... :roll:

You just like keeping him in a place where you can tease him, don't you?

That would be really neat, but I'm not sure how to do that.. :chin:

well, figure it out! You have some time before the tail is healed to research the process and then when the tail is all healed and you have all the photos, you can just create it!
