Oh my god, I'm usually stopped by several people every block, and sometimes gather a crowd depending on what area of downtown I'm walking him in. People are always wanting his picture, and always always think he's an iguana, except in the one case when someone asked me if he was a Komodo XD When he was younger I had him at pioneer square, and attracted enough of a crowd that one of the police came over to see what was going on. He asked a little bit about him, and everything was totally chill. I've had a couple of people who have shied away from him, but almost everyone who sees him seems to be genuinely interested and think he's a beautiful animal.

Ive been considering getting a booth at the Saturday Market just so I can start charging for people wanting his picture XD If I could make $5 off everyone who wanted a picture of him/with him, I'd be able to make at least half of my share of rent just doing that.

As for berries, I haven't tried strawberries yet. He does however LOVE blueberries. I've gotten to the point with him that I can trust him to eat them out of my palm I really want to get a video of it, but I need a new camera for that.

In other news, the swelling Link has had around his vent for a YEAR has finally gone. I'd noticed everything getting less prominent as he got older, and finally everything is back in his little vent-pocket where it belongs! Maybe he's just packing way too much in there, and had to grow into it XD I really have no idea. I'd thought it was a deformity since no meds, or changes to his environment made it go away. I'm just glad to know now that he's fixed whatever his issue was, and now I don't have to worry about pulling splinters out of his vent, because he's on topsoil and not mulch now.
