I'd like to get a spikey friend again someday..

When I was disabled as a teenager, my mother financed my interest in owning and caring for something on my own.

We got Rex at Pet's Unlimited, Christmas 2011. A used glass enclosure measuring 4x2x2 for $300 in Ontario, I vividly remember my Dad struggling to load it for the drive home to Halifax.

Now I wasn't perfect, I switched him over to loose sand substrate after roughly one year one reptile carpet.

And I didn't feed him in a separate area and as a result he likely began to gradually suffer from impaction over the course of time.

He eventually suffered a prolapse and subsequently passed away in 2018.

But for that 7.5 years I genuinely bonded with this simple lizard. He would always sleep on my lap watching TV.
