[eddiezahra]

ok as soon as it settles in i'll take some pics, but i ended up getting a Red tegu from Port Credit Pets (drew) they were great, the tegu looks great and the red on it is intense! i'm so happy and pleased. thanks to everyone especially nat for answering my questions and helping with the search!

he or she... was told it will most likely be a male because of color.. is 24" tip to tip and 10.5" snout to vent. (he was walking on the second measurement lol. had him only 20 hrs before he got himself stuck behind my JUST FINISHED basement wall. cut a hole in it (dad was pist) and rescued him.. the lil bugger *named Ferrari* was trying to climb on me during the rescue lol but couldn't cuz he was stuck it was funny and scary. glad to get him back... crazy first day.. also i brought him to work with me (vet clinic) and took a fecal sample and discovered some sort of worm.. we are looking for the scienfic name for the reptile version but it looks like whip or hook worm. so he's getting some meds lol already costing me money!! anyways ill get some pics up tomo after i repair the wall hopefully!

ps: love him already and he's already really calm... oh and he ate some banana, roaches, and licked an egg just before the escape.

ok the spider is his neighbour who lives between the glass and the wall and the lights of my cage were moved to get a good pic of him.
