Wow Zach, thank God you got him out. I've been trying every type of leash on Azul and nothing has worked so far. He's been able to get out of all of them. I was up at my mom's house and had Azul outside. I turned my back for 2 seconds to get up and he was gone. It took all I had not to panic. I went inside and told my mom and dad and they came out to help me. Yes, by the grace of God we found him, but at one point I thought I was never going to see him again. So don't feel alone b/c you are not the only one to have this happen. As I read your story all of the feelings came flooding back to me. It was horrible. How's his tail doing? I hope ok and no sign of infection.

oh man Zach!! That is a scary story.. I can't even imagine!! I'm glad Eugene is safe now though.. and only a tail tip is missing, instead of the whole thing.. that would've been scary.. no doubt..
I'm glad Eug is okay though!!!
Yay for that... lol.. bad little eugene.. wandering off and making a scene..

Wow, I go away for a couple of days and miss all the excitement. I'm so happy Eugene is okay. What an emotional experience!

Will you have to pay for the pipe repairs?

Haha, I was going to say the answer was somewhere, but I didn't remember. Yep, he used plexi-glass and liquid nails to patch the pipe.

I can't keep up with all the threads and off topic posts anymore. I was just going to ask how things were going and how Eugene was doing, but I guess I'll go search around to see where it's posted.

I had two thoughts about your situation:

One- Next time a skink disappears, don't tell 911 that it is a reptile, but a small helpless, naked deformed puppy with bad skin! They will move heaven and earth to find it.

Second: YOu have the great makings of your movie now. A pet skink wanders into underground pipes and has encounters all along the way. Meeting other wild lizards and creatures, ends up in a sewer system and has a scary encounter with an urban legend sewer gator... and finally ends up safe in the arms of his beloved owner. :lol:

We told only one person it was a reptile, and I think the others we just said an animal. Funny it would be looking for a hairless puppy and they find Eugene. :hehe:

I'd be interested to see some. Did it scab over or can you still see in?

You can still see in, but it's filled in and not "hollow".
