So I just got a red tegu male yesterday. Breeder says its a yearling.
He originally mentioned through text that it has a imperfect tail from "incubation issue".
I disregarded that because people had recommended this breeder. He has been kind and helpful.
However the animal came in t-shirt with the holes ziptied. Which I am okay with, strange but okay.
The package had no heat pack or anything but I assume that's because of how big this feller is.
However upon further inquiry as to why part of the tail is white off colored he states it's a "regen tail"... so not sure which one it is or if it really is both?
Currently sent a message inquiring about how he came to lose the tail.
My question to this forum.
Do I need to be concerned about anything? Such as damaged vertebrae and stuff?
The breeder has been recommended in a few places but I won't name drop just yet as I want clear answers from them.
I mean I will love my little guy no matter what but I am a bit concerned.
P.s. he mentioned bathing him in a warm bath. Which I did, at like shoulder length. Also said to feed him right after. Which I attempted to with chicken gizzards to no triumph....
He is quite inquisitive and rather active. Not like frantic or anything but seems well in that regard.
