he is pretty cute for a Col. gU. I know you were in the market of getting a new one so why get rid of this sweetie?

im considering keeping him, because he's so cute and amusing. but i want one that doesnt try to attack me every time i get close! something i can get out and hold and cuddle.
he just isnt up for any kind of taming. he's more of a look but dont touch pet.

gotcha, maybe in due time you will have some luck. be persistent but not annoying in a stressful way to him and maybe he will come around. a little work can go a long way with these guys, locally Ive seen some pretty awsome Col. gUs over the years, at Underground reptiles they had one they preferred to take to the shows for kids to handle over the Argentines. I also had a friend who had a extremely large one who pretty much was identical to my Argentine as far as personality went. I really hope you the best with your Col. gUs and hope you have similar luck! :)

thanks! i hope so too:)
i think part of this guys problems is he's really young and the people who had him before REALLY mistreated him. so i dont handle him a lot, but i sit by his cage and talk to him and mess around with stuff a lot. other than that i let him be :p

I would also take this little one if shipping wasn't my only option. My husband and I have lots of time to tame. We've worked wonders with tokays, our Columbian Tegu, and untrusting snakes. We enjoy the challenges.

the weather here is perfect for shipping low 80's. but i'd be willing to hold on to him:)
i got a quote and it was around $70, but thats on shipyourreptiles.com and i think usps is cheaper (what i've used in the past and theyre great) i can chack and let you know about that:)

Whichever you feel the most comfortable with using will work for us. We'd pick him up at a major hub just to avoid him being on a truck for over an hour to get here.

i checked usps and it was the same, but it also said it could take 3-4 days for live animal shipping. so i would be more comfortable using shipyourreptiles :)
okay thats great news:)! when do you think it will be cooler there?

It wont cool down over here until mid-late September. We live in the middle of nowhere in a desert surrounded by mountains. Sattellite view it through google, its depressing.

By all means if you find him a home before then, let him go. If not, we're for sure takers =0)

Huh, down here in El Paso it hasn't been that hot, it's been super humid and stormy and cool. If the weather is better here you can have it shipped this way and I can drive it up, I like to take trips up to those mountains anyway. Are they opened back up?

Yeah, el paso is where ill have to find the hub and intercept him. I don't believe there is one in las cruces.
The mountains are open, but still fire restrictions. Only propane grills/stoves allowed. We went to Bailey Canyon the other day and the weather was phenomenal and everything was so green. We enjoy Cloudcroft.

Ill scope out the el paso weather and see how it looks a few weeks out. We need to get in gear and start building these enclosures we have planned out.
