    Blue Tegu for Sale

    I am selling my blue tegu to raise funds for a project. He is around 2+ years old and is just at 40 inches long. He is 'positively' male and is a great looking guy (got some nice light blue tint on his head and jowels and on his legs). Great personality, has no issues cruising the house and...

    Any argentine black and white tegus out there?

    Well, I may have something for you... Are you looking for a young one? Adult? I have my 2.5 year old female that I am looking to sell. She is an 09 Varnyard black and white. She is right at 44 inches and weighs close to 15 lbs on her fat days. :) I was planning on using her for a...

    Waffles updated

    Solid point. I fooled myself into thinking I was giving my lizards enough food. My budget convinced me I was right. Then I simply let the animals show me how much they would eat. Big difference. If the enclosure is adequate and they have enough usable heat, these guys will put down a TON of...

    how to start a colonie

    I have raised lobsters and dubias. Dubias are wicked good. If you have 12 hissers, it is going to take awhile. Get the large tub. Give em their food and keep em warm just like he mentioned. Watch the humidity as well. I know Dubias expose their egg cases (?) and if the conditions aren't...

    Waffles updated

    I remember when I got my first gu. And all my other reptiles... sometimes it seems like they don't grow ever! Then, it is like a blink and you have a 4-5 five foot behemoth. Molloch seemed to explode overnight into a 4 footer. It is truly amazing what these creatures can do when it is 'go time'.

    Meet Molloch

    Good luck to you. My wiffy is pretty solid with her 'no snakes' rule. I even recruited our children and had them put a cutesy ball python on their Christmas lists. She turned them down soundly. I figure I will stop while I am ahead. Something tells me if I keep pressing, she will find a way...

    Meet Molloch

    My wife seems to be immune but she does have LMCHDWHWitis. That is the short name for Let My Crazy Husband Do What He Wants-itis. I am very lucky. Oh, her disease does have some weirdness to it too... I can only bring home things with legs. Giant Tegu? No problem. Large Monitor Lizards...

    My Tegasaurus

    NOW THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!! That is a big boy. His jowls are the same proportion as his gut! Wow!!! Very impressed. [/u]

    Blue Pics

    I give them a intoductory period and make decisions accordingly. It is a lot of fun to see the head bobbing and tail twitching etc. Cool stuff. I have cages available if the pairings don't work out. I think it is key if you are going to try to introduce that you have a solid plan B when one...

    Meet Molloch

    Appreciate it. I asked for a hi-white male and got a dark/orange girl. Funny how that all works out. Reptiles are just a surprise a minute. Once I figured she was a female... I had to get her a boyfriend. And that is how my sickness spreads.

    Blue Pics

    Absolutely right. If I don't want to deal with the consequences... they should be housed separately. He is no longer an option as a cagemate until he gets his shot at breeding the female. But that is not for awhile. So he is outta there and living solo. But I am not going to lie... I enjoy...

    Meet Molloch

    This is my 09 Varnyard B/W female. She just got out of the bath and for whatever reason was in a decent mood to take some pics. She is 44 inches and 14-15 lbs. I wish she would go to bed for awhile!!! You can see the orange she has on her belly on the last pic. Good looking gal. But I am...

    Zero!

    The non-biting but thrashing, squirmy, nails in the flesh action you are experiencing is just what Molloch (my large female) gives me. She is going on 3 years old and that is just how she is. I can pet her in the enclosure and she will come up to me for food but if I try to lift her... it is...

    brumation/hibernation

    My large female went down in late September in 2010 and didn't get up til April. This year, she is still up and eating ALL MY FOOD!!! I didn't plan for her big appetite to stay up this long. Booooooo! Hehehehehe.

    Some Sav Pics

    Total length is right over 30 inches. And the fat boy weighs in at close to four pounds. It is amazing the girth they put on (remembering this thing was hatchling size 5 months ago.[hr] This is the third Sav I have had and all have been different. One was tolerant but gave you warnings...
