Les, the skink who made a bold move to domesticate himself last year, has survived almost a full year under our care. About every third day or so, at least one member of the 5 Ring Circus walks over to Suburban Pet City to get Les a dozen live crickets. Suburban Pet City is an independent pet store and supply center in Oak Park. If you're sick of the puppy mill places with employees who don't know anything about animals, this place is a welcome respite. It's become a fun summer ritual to walk over there with a child or two. If you have the good fortune to be helped by Dave while you're there, all the better.
This evening Baird, Drew and I took a walk over to the pet store to buy crickets for Les. An added bonus was the side show of a green parrot who was hanging out at check out, and decided to get to know Drew a bit better.
