He runs off again but it's progress. He looks plump and healthy, he's also very active in the morning. Right now he's basking. He'll stay that way and just watch me until something spooks him. Then he'll hide for about three seconds, poke his head out, then come back out. He's learning fast. Just watching that "predator at rest" pose is fascinating. I can't stress enough how intelligent they seem to be.</p></blockquote><p></p>
