I suppose he is doing have a rather fearsome appearance, but underneath he's a lovely, soppy 12ft baby. I predict the Komodo dragon is set to become the new musthave pet. We certainly turn heads on the street as three people, desperately clinging onto three separate leads,parajumpers jacka, walk Kevin right down to the shops. Admittedly, there have been several awkward moments and an unfortunate incident involving a Great Dane but people are quickly won over by his charm. Initially sight you may think he was fierce, however, you soon observe that mischievous twinkle in the eye. Everything is just a little of fun. He specially likes a game of "fetch" within the garden. I'll hurl a deckchair so far as I'm able to and Kevin goes bounding after it and may eventually be persuaded to return it often in a rather mangled condition. Komodo dragons can be hard on garden furniture, but that is just like kittens with sofa covers really. You will find Kevin very quickly settles down into family life. He'll eat just about everything and he is nice with children, even though you shouldn't allow them to tease him. We found he got the hang of his (huge) litter tray inside a matter of weeks in fact the greatest difficulty arose using the council over how to get rid of the contents of the litter tray, as this raised recycling issues they'd never encountered before. The main thing with Komodo dragons would be to demonstrate to them who is boss. Basically point and shout: "Drop, Kevin!", there is a good chance he will release whatever (or whoever) he's in his jaws. Trouble can arise when he gets overexcited, but all you need to do is distract him; I usually fire my shotgun over his head or utter a piercing scream and this makes him hesitate for long enough to permit me to sprint towards the garden storage shed and lock myself in. People often ask me about the saliva problem. Reptile professionals state that Komodo dragons have about 50 different types of bacteria within their saliva, but now I've got to know Kevin I believe they are actually friendly bacteria like the ones advertised on TV. The breath could be a bit pongy, but we find Polo mints do the trick. Kevin adores peppermint and we cope with about 350 tubes of Polos a week. Also, he loves After Eights, but gets a bit touchy whenever we go out. The neighbours were a bit suspicious initially, but after they had reinforced their garden fences,canada goose sale online, I think they secretly admired Kevin. We still get some nervous glances when we walk him in the park, but just lately,canada goose outlet, quite a number of individuals have reach me and asserted wiping out the Canada goose population was the best thing that ever happened as you don't get all the mess of droppings around the grass anymore. It will be a terrible wrench to state goodbye to our special bouncy Komodo dragon. He's just this type of wonderful sight as he basks contentedly,canada goose, extended while watching fire, after several good meals. I've explained to him that we'll only allow him to visit somewhere he'll be at liberty. The reason we have to let him go is that my spouse has set her heart on owning some sharkinfested waters. (She was inspired by the rescue of those divers). So we have had the waterscape designers around and they've very cleverly extended our pool and converted it right into a kind of tropical ocean. They've even incorporated a little island for guest shipwrecks which could also be converted to a shipwrecked granny flat. We're tremendously excited because the shark people are coming round tomorrow to infest our waters. |
