Hi all, my name is Zach and I finally got permission for a tegu. Currently I have a panther chameleon (mine), two dogs and a rabbit (family pets). I work at a nature center and I have a passion for animals. I actually work there with another member @Levon, and fell in love with his tegu Maria just as we found she was friendly and he took her home :/. Now I have been working with the other tegu that is more aggressive, and try to get him happier, but I still want a tegu of my own . Im not sure which breed I want, but I definitely would like a female. I will be getting her at a reptile expo November 30th (I'm really just planning to fall in love with one), but I'm not confident that I will be able to check to see if it is healthy and I had a disastrous experience with a chameleon I got at an expo. Long story short, it died in three days of pain and the person I bought him from gave a disconnected number. So, naturally, I'm distrusting of rexpo vendors. How do I check for a healthy tegu and how do I know if it is a female? (I will be trying to get a fairly young one so I can watch it grow)
