The Hypo-Pastel that was donated by Randy of AlphaDragonZ, Huntington Beach, CA was won by Julez and Leo aka BoyntonStylez, he has been named Valentino . They live in West Palm Beach, on Saturday, February 12, 2005 they drove over to this coast of Florida and picked him up at our home in Sarasota.
This baby has come a long way to find his special home and we are very pleased with where he will be living and the wonderful couple who are now his parents. He'd gained more weight and length since we posted about him , now being 164 grams and 13.5 inches. He was a bit in awe of all the attention at first, but settled right down hanging on Leo's Shirt and then decided to take a nap on Julez shoulder, tucking his nosed behind her ear.
Besides their winning bid, they also donated an additional $50, 1000 crickets, superworms and some mealworms to all the animals here and it is greatly appreciated as we house some that will not be adopted, but will continue to care for them the remainders of their lives.
Julez and Leo got to meet all of the various lizards here, except for 4 that were down sleeping and one that is very ill. Axe, I, all the bearded dragons, Iguanas, monitor, geckos and water dragon thank you for your thoughtful act and also for being the type of home we hoped that Valentino would find.
We would also like to thank those of you that bid on the auction to show your support for ReptileRooms.com, and a special big THANK YOU to Randy, for donating this baby for auction to support our rescue efforts and ongoing medical studies. You have helped so many by this and enabled us to do more for the community and best of all, you helped a baby find a great home and made Leo and Julez very happy.
Thank you for finding this beautiful little guy such a wonderful home. I am so glad that I was able to contribute and be a part of a productive/positive reptile rescue like yours. You and Axe have time and time again been a reliable source for up to date experienced and knowledge based reptile information on the net. I would like to sincerely thank you for allowing me the oppurtunity to donate and auction of this Beautiful Gold/Orange Hypopastel on reptilerooms.com.
