Smaug became too unruly for his owners and they couldn't handle him enough to keep him from being a brat.
Smaug is a gorgeous and BIG boy!!
He was tired and stressed when I finally took him out of his carrier at the vet. I trimmed his nails and then held him.
We got him home and into his tank. Once he warmed up, he took a nice long drink and ate.
Smaug will be available for adoption pretty quickly and I suspect that a new set up and situation will break him out of his bully habits.
Plus, his intimidation techniques don't work on me at all. Once you've tackled a full grown Savannah monitor or an antisocial iguana, "aggression" means something different. Smaug can be grumpy and I'll just laugh at him.
