My poor Dragon

[Nightsong]

I admitt that I act more like a lurker and dont post often, but if nobody minds I just wanted to share. The attached pic is my Savannah monitor, Sand Dragon. He suffered a severe burn about a year ago and although he recovered his herp doctor thinks he may now be suffering renal failure due to the damage and healing. It is a good chance we are going to lose him. As monitors go Savannahs are a moderatly docile group but Sand was handled from hatchling to current by myself. He actually liked laying in my lap and napping. He also use to go for walks in the yard and harass the cats. His favorite past time besides hunting for the hissing roaches I breed for his snacks. I don't know why I am sharing this exactly, maybe I just felt the need to talk about a sick friend. Hope nobody minds.
