  • There just soo much fun to interact with. Realistically one is more than enough though, they get large and demand a lot of attention.

    I have had my hatchling now a lil over a week and our progress is now when I walk in the room he doesn't run if I just sit by his cage he will do his own thing and roam around. and I have to tong feed him since I cant touch him but he runs right up to the tongs now. I spend a lot of time

    just laying by his cage so he can see me and I try to lay my hand in there so he can see it. I think from where he was the first days to now its not much progress but still some. I want to work with handling him but he bolts :/
    I don't blame you one bit, i'm happy with mine. I kinda wish I would've got a hatchling, hell i'm thinking about getting one lol

    your tegu has got to be amazing if you're already wanting another one ^_^
    His normal B&W's are available. I talked to him on the phone yesterday. Did you already pay for a Chacoan? If you wanted to save 100 bucks you could get a regular one, they are the same as the Chacoans except Chacoans are whiter overall.

    im pretty set on the chacoan I cant wait for them to be ready!!
    You gotta negotiate better than that!! Tell him you will make it quick lol. You girls have a way of getting what you want and you know that's true! All the same, it's still pretty exciting to be getting a hatchling. I want to get a few blues from him, sell off a few and keep one or two. I still haven't decided, I change my mind regularly. Do you have everything set up yet?

    Not yet finishing up the room, I already have the cage just need to put it together and im about to order all the lights and accessories by the end of this week, and Damn I think I can only handle 1 tegu for now lol.
    I wouldn't hesitate to go to his place. Take pics if you do. I asked him as well, he said to schedule ahead of time and it would be possible. Mine was born 9/11/12 so not even a year old!

    Well he said during the hatchling season he's going to be too busy, so I am getting my tegu shipped but its only a 4 hour ride so it shouldn't freak out the lil guy too much. but he said I could come visit later in the fall and I'm still going to take up the opportunity if I can
    Oh and i'd recommend going to his facility if you can since you also live in Georgia, it would be worth it. You would learn a ton in a very short amount of time.

    Im seriously considering picking up my tegu instead of shipping, I already asked him awhile back if I could visit and he said it could be possible on a day where it wasn't too busy.
    He is fucking awesome. It's day 3 and I can reach in and pick him up. It was intimidating at first since he's 32" long but I got over it. The only problem with starting with a larger one is that you need a bigger cage right off the bat. I want a hatchling now too lol

    Wow!! that is awesome, yeah I went ahead and got a 260 gallon reptarium that's about 7x3X3. Johnny told me a good start off size for a hatchling was about a 45 gallon enclosure but I know they grow fast! So how old is your lil guy?
    I was extremely impressed with Johnny recently. He thought that I wasn't satisfied with my tegu, he called and wanted to take it back and send me another one. I don't know about you, but that's bad ass. It was just a misunderstanding on my part and I was in no way unsatisfied about the tegu. Still, that goes to show you what kind of guy he is.

    That is pretty bad ass, the wait to get my tegu is driving me crazy but I want a hatchling but mid august is only 3 weeks away! I thank you also for letting me know the great service you received from him makes me feel much better about my choice, how is your gu doing?
    That will be great. Johnny was very nice and professional so I have no doubt you will have a good experience with him. What type are you getting?
