Has anyone seen a crested gecko? He's about six inches long, and he's purple. Well, they're normally orange but he got into a little accident when he was a baby. He answers to Spike. That is, if he answers at all. I mean, he doesn't really come when you call him, but he usually perks his head up when I call his name.

Reptiles are cold-blooded, so I'm worried about him wandering around the castle by himself when it's so cold out. He might have gotten lost somewhere and not had enough body heat to get back. If it gets too cold they'll just shut down and hibernate, but his tank is always toasty so his body wouldn't be prepared for that. If I don't find him soon he could starve to death!

There really is -- I can't understand not being fascinated by it.

[fuckilovebooks]

I could just read about it all day. [Oh wait she does.]

[donutsanddestiny]

Read, practice, experiment, discuss -- When there's someone worth talking to.

[fuckilovebooks]

I prefer individual study, mostly, but of course there's always something to be gained by talking to other knowledgeable people.

[donutsanddestiny]

Again, it's just a matter of finding the people who are knowledgeable.

[fuckilovebooks]

Of course. You know, Professor Dumbledore is a fascinating conversationalist if you can manage to get a moment with him.

[donutsanddestiny]

I don't really talk to authority figures.

[fuckilovebooks]

But they're usually the ones with the most knowledge.
