Our boys are 4 years old. It was their birthday while we where in Melbourne town so they didn’t get a party. Instead the spent the week with Tom, probably watching a lot of DVD’s.

The other day I went to bunnings to look around for stuff to make a better outdoor enclosure for the boys. Normally we just take them out every few weeks in a plastic box with some water in it. But its time to get a bit more elaborate.

I give you ‘Ham and Pineapple’s Garden Retreat’

Because of Ham’s injury we took the boys to a specialist reptile vet man this morning. The vet man checked out Ham’s foot and did a few tests on a water sample from our tank. Poor old Pineapple just came along for moral support for Ham and he ended up getting a syringe shoved up his butt hole.  Ham didn get the probe and he was the sick one. Poor pineapple.

We have to change a few things but on the whole we are looking after the boys well. We need to bath hams foot in some stuff once a day for the next few weeks.

Now pineapple and I can do some father son bonding sharing our experiences of medical staff probing private bits.

Poor little ham has somewhow grazed is front left foot. So we took him out of the tank today and put a bit of benadine on the wound. We thought he would go nuts with thee benadine but he didnt. He went nuts before we put the stuff on but during he just sat there.

Written on September 2nd, 2007 , ham & pineapple, remembering and celebrating

Today I took the boys out to get some sun. Normally when we take them out for sun the swim around in a big tub with that is half in the sun half in the shade.

Last week we decided to take the boys out and put them on the lawn for a few minutes. They just sort of stood there not knowing what to do.

Today I put ham onto the lawn while pineapple was still in the tub. ?He looked around, then for some reason he decided to do a runner. He’s a fast little bugger.

I got him.
