Check out this Silky. They call him The Thing

I met this silky at the pet store yesterday when I was picking up crickets for Clecko

His name is currently *the Thing* but whoever buys him will probably change it or maybe they wont. but this is what they are calling him now. After the Thing from The Fantastic Four. o_o

She took him out of that tiny little container he has to live in and I got a few pics and then she let me hold him. He was so toasty warm and soft and I felt so sorry for him and his situation. He is missing two fingernails. and the toe ends dont look like they are wanting to grow another one out.

It is my understanding that a silky is a bearded dragon that has been bred with out the gene to give it spikes.

This little guy was so gentle.. and probably not that healthy. I asked her if she was going to be giving the buyer a discount for the missing toes and she laughed at me!! lol I was being serious I mean really, its like selling a defective something anyways. They want $120 for this little guy, but a smart trader could probably get a discount for his missing nails.. which are soon to be missing toes Im guessing.

He looks like to be just coming out of a shedding

That's the pet store girls hands. I would never wear black nail polish.. let alone display it all chipped like that! *calls a manicurist for the girl*Â I was trying to get a picture of his mssing toes, but im not the best photographer. You can sort of see the missing toenail in this pic. There was one missing on each front foot. All the toe nails were there on the two back feet.

The absolute best part about this silky is not that he's so soft you just cant stop petting him, but that his eyes are all solid black like that. So freaken cool. Like when a demon possesses a meat sack on Supernatural!! Totally reminds me of that.

Thanks for reading =)
