Lunchtime for Bruce

We’ve had Bruce with us for about 2 weeks now.  He seems to be settling in well.  He appears to be a lot more relaxed around us all and doesn’t flare up when I pick him up any more.  He tends to just put on a face of silent resignation when being handled.

I have started feeding him eggs on the advice of a few people more experienced than myself with caring for Shinglebacks.  As you can see from this video, he quite likes them.  My family quite like Bruce as you can tell from my youngest daughter’s entrance into this video.  He has proven to be probably our most popular reptile amongst recent visitors as well.  He is a very attractive critter and seems to have some sort of charismatic appeal!
I’ll be weighing all our reptiles at the start of the month.  It will be interesting to see how Bruce is going under our care.  He is yet to show much interest in veggies, preferring meaty dog food and now eggs.  I hope to expand his diet as he settles in more.
