I picked up a male Hoggie from me local reptile shop today, he came in the other day, he was an unwanted pet, whose owner was a 18 year old boy, who kept it in a fish tank and fed, butgot all his mates over to watch and he didn't do it very nicely, apparently.
I have no idea why he was unwanted as he is gorgeous. Even my 12 year old sister held him (its her hand in the first pic), and my mum touched him!!
