if you take good care of him, and give him some good soaks time to time they will heal up nicely as he grows ;)

they will, I dont know if he was wild caught or just sitting in a pet store for a couple of months. but its due to improper shedding, soaks and proper diet should set him straight and when he sheds a few times he will look all nice and pretty. :) they are just in pain from that shed being stuck on there and his little toes trying to grow freely!

when i got him he also had blisters on his back, and a large chink of his tail missing, so it makes me wonder if he was wild caught. all that plus his awful scared attitude make me think so.

I really dont know much about Columbians, but Im betting from the price tag they are wild caught, with a little TLC all that should clear up. I dont really know about their personalities though, lol. Im tempted to pick one up from Underground. about a year ago @ Underground they had this Columbian he was about 2ft long, and they would take him to schools and parties for the kids to play with. I was tempted to buy him, they were just as fond of him as the Argentines. was really special, but I personaly dont see many that arent hatchlings around here local.

Love the look of pure loathing in his eyes. I'm pretty sure if your columbian had jedi powers you'd be dead right now! :p

columbians are pretty flighty and aggressive, but some can be tamed down a good bit and be just as great as argentines, so i've heard, this little guy is leaving for a new home soon, because i was going to get a blue, but i cant now :( so im going to be tegu-less soon

He looks pretty healthy. Glad to see hes putting on weight. 2 of mine were underweight when I got them, they seem to bounce back fairly quickly.
