Photo Gallery :: Baby Norbert Photos

[BabyNorbert]

Here are some photos of my adorable disabled RES hatchling, Norbert. I found him on a sidewalk and decided to make him my pet after discussing his chances in the wild with a reptile vet. As a result of congenital deformities, he has no tail and his hind limbs are significantly undersized and cannot be used for swimming or walking.

He's very cute and we've grown attached to him in a very short period of time!

This is Norb's current tank setup. He has a heat lamp and basking spot on the left, a UVB light on the right, some plastic leaves for hiding, very shallow water to prevent drowning, and a gravel substrate which I plan to change to sand or river pebbles.

Here's Norbert on the day I adopted him from the nearby pond...

And some photos showing his developmental issues. This one shows how his tiny hind limbs leave a little trail behind him.
