Indy Rat Dog Bullet Shadow Bimini Boa

Name: Indy (Short for Indigo) Indy is named after the color of his tongue, which is indigo. Both Indy and Rat Dog's ages are unknown, as they were taken in long after they were puppies. Name: Rat dog Rat Dog used to be named Sheeba, but was renamed after she was taken in by the Sharklab. We were recently informed that Rat Dog and Indy actually are brother and sister, the offspring of one of the Sharklab's past dogs, Mama. Name: Bullet Bullet is a Pit Bull and the daily visitor to the Sharklab. She was badly abused and neglected by her former owner, who is unknown. She was rescued by a team of veterinarians working on North Bimini, and was taken in by former BBFS Lab Managers Grant & Katie. She spends most of her day at the Sharklab and returns to Grant & Katie each evening.     Name: Shadow Shadow was our neighbor's Pit Bull. Despite their reputation, Shadow is one of the nicest dogs around. It was a usual pattern for Shadow to break off his lead and pay us a visit, only to be taken back and tied up again. After a continual pattern of this we suddenly stopped taking him back. Shadow lived under our house for over a month until we officially decided to claim him for our own. Shadow now enjoys the life of luxury going from an outside dog to the newest member of our family. He gets plenty of attention from our staff and volunteers and he loves every minute of it! Name: Bimini Boa The SharkLab has been keeping Bimini Boas on-site for over two years in an attempt to educate people about this beautiful endemic snake. The boas are kept for a short period then swapped when a new snake is captured. All snakes are tagged then released where they were originally found.
