Hey my name is Jodi and i have just adopted two RES, Rocko a 5yr old male and Heifer a 9yr old female. I know very little about these animals but am reading up FAST. I'm a trained vet nurse but we have very few reptiles in NZ so very little training other than signs of ill health. I am amazed at these animals, i thought they would be a bit like fish and fairly oblivious other than to food but they aren't like that at ALL! they are so interactive and SO COOL! I'm glad i found this website it has been invaluable.

1 female RES 9yrs- Heifer
