SCP-XXXX: Another Hard-to-Destroy Reptile; "Daisy"
SCP-XXXX shortly after re-capture following Incident XXXX A.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be housed in a 60-gallon terrarium with a green felt carpet on its floor. Surfaces for SCP-XXXX to climb on, including a driftwood branch, a hide resembling a hollow tree branch, and two plastic rocks, are provided within the terrarium. SCP-XXXX's water bowl should be changed daily. Temperatures inside the terrarium should vary from a cooler spot at about 304 K to a "basking spot" at about 314 K. Visible spectrum and UVB lighting must be provided from 0700 to 2100, outside of which all lights in SCP-XXXX's cell should be off. Other than lighting and noise concerns, the cell containing SCP-XXXX's terrarium requires no special security measures. SCP-XXXX's diet consists of vegetables (specifically butternut squash, dandelion greens, and cilantro) and small insects (Zophobas morio and Blaptica dubia, primarily). Vegetables should be fed to SCP-XXXX daily while insects should be fed to SCP-XXXX every two (2) days. Fruits such as strawberries may be offered to SCP-XXXX once every two (2) weeks.
Every other week, SCP-XXXX should be given a bath in lukewarm water. SCP-XXXX should be removed from its terrarium for at least one hour of exercise daily. SCP-XXXX is unlikely to escape from its enclosure, but in the event of such an occurrence the object should be located immediately and placed back in its terrarium.
Should staff fail to follow these procedures for several consecutive weeks, SCP-XXXX will enter a state of extremely low energy and become irritable. If staff continue to ignore its needs, SCP-XXXX may enter a state of hibernation that will continue until these needs are met.
Description: SCP-XXXX, also known as "Daisy," is a female member of the species Pogona vitticeps. It is 45cm long and weighs 536 grams. SCP-XXXX has the yellow-gray coloring of an average member of its species and is externally unremarkable. SCP-XXXX shows no scars, injuries, or evidence of previous illness. It is somewhat more skittish than most tame Pogona vitticeps specimens and seems sensitive to loud noises, particularly high-pitched screams or tones. Upon hearing a sound over 700Hz, SCP-XXXX will exhibit behavior typical of its species when threatened, i.e. attempting to escape, hissing, turning a darker color, and expanding its 'beard.' Otherwise, SCP-XXXX is generally docile and relaxed, spending most of its time basking under the heat lamp in its enclosure.
SCP-XXXX has proven immune to any attempts at causing it serious bodily harm. Foundation research has found that SCP-XXXX cannot be terminated by means of gunshot, oxygen deprivation, smoke inhalation, blunt force trauma, crushing by weight over 750kg, intense atmospheric pressure, disease, cyanide poisoning, interaction with [REDACTED], attacks by [REDACTED], nuclear explosion, fire, digestion by another entity, puncture wound, interaction with [REDACTED], extreme cold, extreme heat, radiation poisoning, infection, drowning, or falling from a height of at least 2km. SCP-XXXX also appears to be immortal, as it has shown no sign of aging since its containment by the foundation in 1983.
The Foundation first learned of SCP-XXXX from an article in the Seattle-based newspaper [REDACTED] that described "Daisy" as the only survivor of a house fire that began in its enclosure. The story claimed "Daisy" showed no signs of injury or illness and was, by all accounts, entirely healthy. This is in sharp contrast to the rest of the building, which was burned beyond all recognition. A relative of the family that perished in the fire put SCP-XXXX up for adoption. The object's anomalous properties were confirmed when, after SCP-XXXX was taken in as a pet by Dr. ZZ, it apparently survived the detonation of Area-[REDACTED]'s nuclear warhead.
Later testing further confirmed SCP-XXXX's apparent invincibility. Currently, SCP-XXXX is being considered for cross-testing with other SCPs. Notably, staff assigned to SCP-XXXX reject this notion on the grounds of 'animal welfare,' despite having no political or social interest in the subject beforehand.
Addendum: Incident XXXX A
During SCP-XXXX's scheduled enrichment time, Dr. XX forgot SCP-XXXX was outside of its containment. This resulted in a containment breach of SCP-XXXX for approximately four (4) hours. SCP-XXXX was found underneath a cabinet outside the cell of SCP-2608. How SCP-XXXX reached this location is unclear, as there was no obvious method of escaping the room Dr. XX used as its enrichment space. Uncharacteristically, SCP-2608 showed no response to the nearby presence of SCP-XXXX. Dr. XX was transferred as a result of this incident, and no other such incidents have occurred.
