A Sad Mystery

[jarich]

I was just cleaning out my BP enclosure and reached for the 5 gallon plastic cage I put them in while Im cleaning. As I opened it I noticed something in the bottom, which was weird as I always clean everything after Im done. When I looked closer this is what I found. I felt terrible, the poor little guy had obviously dried out. But here is the weird part, I have never owned any reptile like this! Im guessing its a young anole, and my best hunch is that maybe it hitched a ride with something else from the petstore (I just bought some driftwood), or even less likely from the plant shop (I recently got a new fern and a new pothos). It sucks to lose an animal, even if I didnt even know I had it.

Awwww, poor little guy, what a shame:(
I'm sorry you had to find him like that, i probably would have started crying.

poor little guy, no wonder he got out, I wonder what species he is exactly.

It was probably the plant shop. Very good chance it came on that. Lots of spiders and such end up coming in on shipments.

That's creepy. I would have wigged out thinking it was a joke wondering where it came from...

Ya, I think you're right Aaron. Ive only ever gotten feeders from the pet store, so it's pretty unlikely it couldve come that way without me noticing. One of the plants I bought was a large ficus tree though, I would've never noticed it on there.
