Well i have a male water monitor fondly named "lofty" by my good lady
as he used to reside in the spare room in a top opening viv and just before i was leaving for work i fed him , went to work and had a phone call to ask me where i'd moved the water monitor to , came home and he was nowhere to be seen or indeed found , i turned the house upside down looking for him , unfortunatly he had gone!!!
3 WEEKS LATER



the OH went into the loft (before the loft was converted) and yup there he was sitting there , a little dehydrated but otherwise non the worse for it
hence his "pet name" Lofty!!!!!
