Bowser is home!!!!!
After a stressful and angry Wednesday, I can now say, Bowser is HOME!!!!! :yahoo:
The short story:
Bowser was supposed to be delivered yesterday around 10:30 via Fed Ex. At 1 he still wasn't here. I checked the tracking and it was still showing he was in Memphis, TN...I live in NJ. RED FLAG. So I called Fed Ex, and it turned out he was in the hub and never made it out of there! Apparently plane trouble or some BS, so I flipped out! After humiliating and verbally degrading the lady on the phone about him being a live animal and the possibility of damage or, even worse, death, along with the fact that I paid $58 shipping for priority overnight, I contacted my buyer and explained the scenario to him. He reassured me these are hardy and resilient critters and don't worry too much. He was more than likely just fine.
He was right! However, I was in for a surprise this morning when he came and I opened the box and saw he was in mid-shed!! Not gonna lie, I kinda panicked a little lol. So I rushed him home and got him in the cage and man, is he smart! After staring at me for about 10 min. still wondering who the hell I was, he went RIGHT into his moist cave! That is where I left him and had to come back to work. I am anxious to get back to him and see how he is doing! I hope the shedding is coming off ok! I'm still nervous about that, after reading horror stories about shedding on this site from others.
Once he is a little more acclimated and his shed is off, I will take pics and post! He is pretty big already at 4 1/2 months...looks to be about 6 inches already. My breeder told me he will get to be about 80 grams...not a giant, but at his growth rate, large. His daddy is a big boy as well.
I'll keep you posted!! I'M PSYCHED!!!! :yahoo:
