Breaking news: giant reptilian monsters spotted climbing all over Chicago landmarks!

This month's CHS Junior Herpers (a reptile club for kids that I run) was all about movie monsters. We talked about reptiles in the film industry and then I showed the kids how to use miniature sets and low angle photography to make their little friends look like giants. The ball python had a little trouble, but his owner was super pleased. CC the crested gecko was easily our best actor- he loved our bridge sets. The kids had a blast casting their creatures in a hypothetical movie.

This is so cool! A new species of boa was discovered, Boa atlantica. Also great to see Argentines were elevated to species status.

More alert, but still a bit cross-eyed.

Good news: histopathology didn't find cancer.

What they found was "inflamed tissues, [...] severe, heterophilic inflammation with abundant bacteria." That isn't very good news.

If it's now resolved in one month with antibiotics we're giving him, we'll do a bacterial DNA sequencing to see what the heck is in there.
