i am giving you guys/gals a bit of an update on my two tegus achilles and nero. first ill start with achilles, he is now 18 1/2 " an increase of 1 1/2 " in the 3 wks i have had him. he is still very flighty but will calm down once picked up. he is starting to eat a little bit but it only like every 2-3 days and not much maybe about a 1/2 a teaspoon. i am currently using the t-shirt method and i put my hand in his enlosure and let him come too me. then there is nero my big girl, she is now starting to pick up on her growth. she is now a bit over 42". i would like to get a weight on her, my guess would be about 10lbs. she is still eating everyday, and eats about a lb. of food a day. she is very robust and heavy. she is starting to get more white after each shed. now as for the questions i was wonder what(if any) methods do you guys use to weigh your larger tegus? and also nail clipping what do you guys do? i have tried using regular nail clipping but nero dosnt like being held down, the best i could do was wrap her head in a towel and hold her down and do each toe asap but they are still sharp afterwards. and its starting to be a pain when i try to hold her and she wants to get a better grip.
