4 days ago, this little tegu was eating his eating pinky mice on a dinner plate. The damn cat ran in, grabbed him, and ran off. I chased the cat around the house trying to get the cat to let go. 4-5 mins later, I found him.
This tegu had teeth marks in his back, stomach, and tail. The stomach was the most series because it penetrated all layers of skin, whereas the tail and the back where just little bite holes.
I decided to name him Champ because after 4 days of recovery, hes doing just fine. Hes alert and enjoys basking still. Hes ate a little, but I'm to afraid to give him big food (pinkies) with the stomach wound. I do have a feeling his tail will drop because of the shape its in. I'm lucky hes still alive. You can read the other post "New colombian tegu video" to read the story.
Notice the scab on his belly.
Back wounds
and the tail. The picture makes it look worse than it is.
but hes hangin in there like a Champ!
