Lizard Update

A little bit of sad news. Poor little lizard didn't make it.
He really picked up on Saturday night, running around our bathtub under the light bulb. We released him in amongst the plant pots, and went to check on him a bit later and he was doing his crazy headflips. So back inside he came. We rang up the people from Fauna Rescue who passed us on to a family who look after lizards.
They took him, along with another baby Blue Tongue to the vet. Vet said they were fine, probably just a little young and should be kept inside for a while just until he was older.
So we start running around trying to find a tank to house him, and heat lamps and such.
Unfortunately last night he started looking sick and didn't make it. Poor little thing.
I guess it wasn't meant to be.
