no ackies though.....

i nearly wet myself when i saw a baby bosc (i'm talking the size of a baby beardie sitting in a little water dish looking all sweet) then the 5 foot monster it will be hit me and i restrained myself...

there were a pair of yellow monitors and the green tree monitors (two males and a female) were beautiful!

i was in earlier and was dying to buy a tegu though i want to reserch plenty before and ooo the bosc in the little ceramic bowl snuggly poking its head out lol i loved it lol i really liked the tegus guess u got a nice 1 then. how much was it if u dont mind me asking? as i didnt look at prices

i bought the whiter one out of the two got the other one out and it was a bit skittish but not been handled the one we bought was tail whiping and biting and couldnt get it out at all! lol i asked my oh which one he wanted he went for the prettier one over the nicer one.... i'm gonna get bitten i know it!


they were marked up at 165 but got it for 140 which is cheap for a an argentine... so i'm happy and got 200 locust for 30 quid!!! which is what i pay for a 100 local so double chuffed!!!

good deal i was talking to paul (long hair) and he was saying as usual that theyd bump down the price on the tegu if i was going to purchase one he is so friendly and always helping as are the other staff. i picked up a bosc recently and im really happy with it, i want a tegu but space is restricted so i guess ima have to pass . how many tegus are left do you no as i only saw the 2

theres one left downstairs and paul (short haired) was saying they have had to take another one that came in upstairs as it's positivly evil lol it stands up on its tail and charges the glass and he said it was picking up crix and killing them and throwing them around.... ha ha

they had 6 or 8 in and in twwo weeks there is just those two left the little greener one out of the two was pretty sweet though...

thats... 4 i have now and the columbian rooms getting a bit scarse here too waiting to get some custom vivs delivered to have them all at home

you can pay a deposit and they will hold it for two weeks and then pay 10 pounds a week for boarding if you cant take it home after that which i thought was pretty good!

o hahaa terminator tegu wat a sight. nice tegu colony ur getting there . yhh they go like flies however not as quick as bosc hopefully they wernt impulse buys and go to good homes. im hoping theyll have some more stock in and depending how much ima sucker for there beautiful features i mite be tempted to pick one up. if i could just ask you what would you suggest an adult tegu roughly should go in. what size enclosure? thanks

[tegu66]

i have my babies in 6 by 2 by 3 foot vivs that'll last the girls life but the boys will probably get upped to a 9 footer

toby is about 4 and a half foot fully grown and is in a 6 by 2 by 3 so depends on how big they get really

when the babies were in smaller vivs they were really viv aggressive they are lovely now... dunno if it's coinsidence but if i get this one home and in a big viv i'm hoping the attitude should change too!!!! fingers crossed anyway lol

i sooooo wanted that baby bosc how cute was he/she!!! wonder if handling them from that size daily would stop the jouvy agression??? how big was yours when you got it?

do you know when the new shop opens think they are gonna have more big stocck in there have heard that there is gonna be a salt water croc enclosure

[sumair24]

o nice and roomy the max i can fit in is a 6x3x3 so id have to think hard. and yh i loved the bosc i went in there i think 1 week ago and he was there aswell the last one all cute and innocent looking mind you as soon as they come home with you there all hissy. happened with mine however hes a little less hissy hopefully stays that way. when i picked mine up he/she was about 6-7 inches looked the most active and was the biggest. gotta love the ones with a bit of character lol. hopefully if i do well with the bosc i will researchfor a tegu

yh i herd someone mentioning the croc enclosure. LOL
and im not sure apparently its ment to open soon according to some members on this forum however who noes, mite have to ask when the grand opening is

[tegu66]

an argentine tegu is a walk in the park in comparison to be honest from what i have seen and herd from friends and people on here lol a 6 x 3 x 3 would be ok for a tegu.
