Fishstick is the first reptile I ever got. I was 13 and he was rehomed to me from some guy at my dad's work. Truthfully, I was a bit disappointed in him at first because I always wanted a snake, not a lizard, but I very quickly grew to love him. He's been with me for 6 years through 5 different houses and I love him dearly..

He's been my most problematic reptile. He went on a NINE MONTH feeding strike within 2 years of me having him, which freaked 13 year old me OUT!!!!!He's my only reptile to have gone to the vet - from a Vitamin A deficiency. Despite being on the same vitamin powder for 4 years, he suddenly wasn't getting enough Vitamin A. He made a swift recovery, only to develop ANOTHER vitamin A deficiency 2 years later.. I now give him vitamin A powder every 3 months just to avoid this ever happening again. Unfortunately his left eye has some permanent damage, but his right sees perfectly fine.
