So my Ammy decided to go adventuring apparently. She's been doing this thing lately where she sleeps all of one day, wakes up the next, wants food, stays away a few days, then goes back to sleep, just seems to be her routine. Two days ago, she burrowed in, and we left her alone, as we do, to wait for her to come back up and be affectionate again.
We assumed until this morning that she was still burrowed.
Until we saw her stretched out by the front door.
Thankfully for all parties involved, our living room was just recently cleaned, so there was nothing bad for her to get into anywhere around. Apparently she just decided she wanted to go chill on the linoleum for a bit.
I had wondered why my cat kept staring at a corner of the kitchen cabinets yesturday. Now I know.
Anyways, Ammy appears to have suffered no major harm (though now we have to find where she pooped!) from her adventure, and she's taught us a lesson. She's big enough now to be allowed to explore more often, but we're gonna have to have figure out how to keep her and the cat from crossing claws.
She's currently sunning under her lamp again, after a good long hot bath to warm her back up, and the only thing that she appears to have hurt is her nose. She's got a small (tiny tiny, probably barely a cm across) spot where she...I guess tore a scale? It's not bleeding or anything, it's just a raw spot. So we're wanting to find out what we can do to help that heal better.
We figured out how she got out though. She climbed on top of her sunning log, latched claws into the tube that attaches to her humidifier, and just pushed the lid up enough to scramble out. Smart girl.
Smart smart lizard. I am still just astonished at how smart she is. I'm glad she's okay. It's quite a drop from the top of her tank to the floor, so I"m just so glad that she isn't further injured.

. My vet gave me some ( well I bought it ) for our Leonidas nose rub a while back and it works miracles.
