Monitors yes. Tegus no

[Dextersdad]

Looks like a Tegu is in need of a home (thanks for thinking about me Christine) and I said yes.

Looks like we'll be picking Diego up this coming week but, have I had experience looking after monitors on a day to day basis? Yes. Can I say the same fopr Tegus? No.

Looks like I have a few more things to learn (again).

So, be prepared season Tegu keepers. I shall be out to get some advice as I venture into the worl of Tegu Keeping. Midnightworrior springs to mind as a first, but I know of a few more out there who have a wealth of experience with them.

Here'a pic of him (suspected boy I am told) taken back in November (about 20 inches now though)



He's got a great character (we met in December) and Hayley and I look forward to working with him.


Thanks for reading.

Nope not a mansion but luckily we have 4 rooms that can be used for reptiles. That's a great help. We're onto rep room 2 now but with the next couple of larger vivs that will be made it won't be lon before they are filled.

Well done mate , im pretty sure your experience with monitors will stand you in good stead "obviously" as with any new venture into a different species there will be a lot of new things also to pick up

[skimsa]

You get all the luck, when i move out one of these will hopefully be mine
