Posturepedic branch?

This is how we found Ivy sleeping the other night..kind of looks like a lizard yoga pose..



Posers

This is how I found Jack and Ivy when I got home from work today...they crack me up!



Jack...this is also where he slept last night, in a hammock of bamboo leaves - cute!



Ivy, stretching out her legs. Her super long tail is a help at times like this!





Just chillin'

I always find it amusing when Jack and Ivy sit like this...all relaxed, just chillin' out...

The tables have turned...

So perhaps it is not Ivy who is dominating Jack...

Whilst sitting here with one eye watching the lizards, one eye on the computer, I watched Jack make his way, branch by branch, from one side of the terrarium to the other, where his goal was Ivy's head! Cheeky little thing! She was sitting there minding her own business, and he launched himself at her. He then tipped off her and fell in the pond underneath, which served him right really.

So perhaps Ivy has just been defending herself against Jack's advances... it's very hard to tell, because as soon as they know you're looking at them they tend to freeze. We may have to set up a surveillance camera a la Meerkat Manor!

September Weigh-In

It is now time for Jack and Ivy's October weigh-in, but this is the first chance I've had to post their September measurements, so I might have to do a few posts all at once!

I must firstly apologise for the crappiness of the ruler I was using to measure the lizards - there weren't many options available..

First up we have Jack...

Weighing in at a massive 12grams, this is up 2 grams from last month. Come on Jack, you can do better than that!

Ivy's turn...Ivy has become very domineering over the last month. Jack will look at his food for a while before deciding whether or not he wants to eat it, and before he makes up his mind, Ivy has usually pounced on it and eaten it for him. Henceforth, Ivy has increased her weight from 9 grams last month to a whopping 14 grams this month. We may have to start separating them at mealtimes. Poor Jack!

As for their length, you can't really read the numbers on the ruler, but I think Ivy is approx 20cm in length, (nose to tail tip) and Jack is about 18cm. Ivy's tail is quite a bit longer than Jack's - must be all that extra food!
