    Strax the second chance tegu

    Thank you. We have had a long, bumpy twp years but has been worth every second. As far as taming goes, we literally had to "love him into submission" it was rough at first and he still puts up a fight some days. Essentially, Strax was just being a jerk to be a jerk. What we had to do was catch...

    Strax the second chance tegu

    It has been another long stretch since I have posted any updates about Strax. Strax became hyper aggressive. Even to the point you couldn't clesn his cage, change his water, change his lightbulbs, nothing. He would charge at you and strike even if you were working in the complete opposite side...

    New baby!!

    so first shed means first bath! He is coming along great with handling and let me play with him for a while, but he is still pretty jumpy when there is loud noises. All in all good first experience with bath time. I swear he has grown an inch since we brought him home. He still won't let me...

    New baby!!

    I will try as soon as he comes out for the day. Right now he is enjoying his cave. lol. It is so hard resisting the urge to get him out lol. I keep telling myself patience is a virtue and to just wait until he comes out. But dang it if it isn't so flippin hard when you want to mess with them.

    New baby!!

    First night home! He is already eating and checking stuff out. He is settling in so nicely. I am so excited for this new little guy. Everyone meet Castiel. Cas for short. The picture does no justice for how much red he is already starting to show. He was bred by a friend of mine and handled...

    My red is just a jerk...

    Strax is a jerk. His is a combination of puberty, bad abuse prior to us rescuing him, and moving that just seemed to destroy his whole world. We have a working relationship. I feed him, clean up after him, give him water and he allows me to live with all my fingers intact. We are VERY slowly...

    New baby!!

    Hello all! Just wanted to post that I am getting a new baby. I got to pick him (or her lol) up on Thursday. A friend of mine works at a reptile store and they had a very interesting clutch this year. My new baby is going to be a 50% BW and 50% red. The whole clutch is stunning looking. I can't...
