Kinky Christmas Eve!

[Sakara]

Here are some updated pics of the kinkster! He's eating, pooping, shedding and growing!! I was gone for 10 days and he's changed so much! lol... he's got a bit more white to him now! He's doing great!!

 

[Meg90]

Aww he's beautiful! Have you taken him in yet, to see what exactly that hump is caused by?

 

[Sakara]

i haven't taken him in yet... things have been crazy this month, lol... I'll prolly end up taking him in January after the holidays calm down, hahaha

 

[DaveDragon]

He's looking great!!!

 

[mis jaksin]

[Sakara]

thanks guys

BTW: are tegus always bipolar? lol... one minute he loves me and the next he runs like heck :crazy he's a crazy bugger...

 

[DaveDragon]

It sounds like you're a good match!!!

Is he better after eating? That little guy has a wicked appetite!!!!

 

[Sakara]

he does eat a lot, hahaha... He likes to attack and tear apart his turkey pile hahaha... He's pretty good after eating... He will sit and bask for a while after he eats

 

[DaveDragon]

I had to clean the little one's tank twice today; once before feeding fuzzy mice, and once after!!! Guts everywhere!!! They make such a mess!!!!!

What does that back pack feel like? Hard or soft?. Tegu looks like hes going to school

Hi, I am new to the forum but I'd say it is probably scoliosis resulting from incubation. Cute little guy but I sure hope you didn't pay for him. If so hope it wasn't much.

 

[Sakara]

to me, it almost feels like a cyst, lol... I'll find out when he goes to the vet...

 

[DaveDragon]

I hatched him and 16 others that had no problems. And hatched 18 last year. Here's the incubator. http://www.tegutalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2258 The temps never varied by more than a degree or two.

It doesn't look like a spinal deformity to me, it looks like s bump of some kind. He's had it since birth and it hasn't changed other than growing with him (does that make sense?). He's very active and has a wicked appetite. We'll see what the vet says. I hope it doesn't affect him when he gets older. He's a very good looking Tegu otherwise.

 

[Sakara]

oh yes, he's a gorgeous boy and moves just as fast as any normal tegu I have ever seen, lol... He deff. eats and moves and poos and sheds... So he's growing, and it doesn't seem to affect him... So we will see I've seen other animals with worse live long healthy lives and I plan to give the same to this little guy

Actually, consider yourself fortunate that there are times when he loves you. Because he is still small, larger things, especially from above are perceived as predatory. When he gets larger he more than likely will become less shy and most likely very tame. Tegus are very smart, keep interacting with him, use the seperate feeding bin method & you will have quite a reptillian friend in a few months or so.

Best of luck with the bump!

Dont i know you from some where?? He's looking good.

 

[Marlene]

He looks very good, despite the lump! My tegu has been a little bi-polar these last two days, but I strayed from our routine for a couple of days, the snakes needed more attention, they're a bit deadlier than my 'gu, lol. Now that I'm back on schedule, he's calming down more.

 

[Pikey]

it looks like a fatty groth or maybe a tumor

 

[txrepgirl]

He is sooooo cute ? I'm very happy to hear that he is doing so well. I can't wait to find out what the vet says. Are you going to get a Xray done ? if you do it would be great if you could post a picture off it. Thank you and good luck.
