Ok so my BF just fully payed for my Extreme Hatchling that should be hatched around June-July (July 23rd is my b-day!). Im so excited! Has anyone else reserved one of Bobby's ALWAYS AMAZING babies?? I can't wait :) I already have a 50 gallon tank (with most of it ready to be set up) waiting for my little Sobek-Ra (Sobek for short).

Soooo! Who's excited!!! Have any names picked out? Male - Female? Tank already set up? :)

I put my order down in late November 2010 for a Male B/W, i have a 75g and all my supplies the bulbs ,calcium supps,hides,water dish, everything else besides the substrate.

I even have aluminium foil to cover the screen top to keep in humidity and i just replaced the part of the mesh screen top where the MVB will be with chicken wire,to allow for more uvb.

The name thing i am still trying to decide on. I am going to go with one of these 4 names, Grimmjow,Byaykuya,pain or sesshomaru (All anime related and characters are bad ass!). Not sure which one but it will hit me soon.

I have wanted a tegu for sooo long and now that the time is almost here i am so excited! The wait from November to june-july i am doing is nothing compared to how long i wanted a tegu. Ounce i get my tegu and new camera this site will be flooded with pictures lol and ofcourse i cannot wait to see all of you guys new baby gu's as well.

I was thinking of putting a deposit on a AA but,... I want what I had,.. at least one of his siblings from the original clutch. I would be ecstatic :D if I found someone selling an '09 AA.

On the other hand I'm thinking I should hold off until my God Tegu has her first clutch with Txrepgirl :).

The wait is killing me!!! But its sooo going to be worth it! My BF is deciding wether or not he wants to oder an All American for himself :) I hope he does (I really want of those too). Can you house an extreme and american together? will they have problem in the future (Male & Male or Male & Female?)

You might wanna reconsider building that 4x2 and go with something bigger. That cage MIGHT last you a year. Of course, everybody's situations are different and you might have a plan for that. Just trying to save you an extra HUGE step. You're gonna be STOKED.

I agree completely. As slide stated, everyones situations are different. If possible I would definitely go with something a little bit larger. My tegu is about 3.5ft and about 10 months old. If it is a space issue you might want to consider doing something like having a bit more height so you can add some kind of platform or shelf later on to give your tegu some more floorspace.

I order a B&W Tegu from Varnyard back in March 2011. I have looked at every website on tegus... twice!!! I have designed, on paper, my tegu's cage at least four times. I plan on starting to build the enclosure the second weekend in May. The only good thing about having so much time is shopping for sales online for supplies.

yeah I have plans to move him into a bigger enclosure. I think the only reason why i decided to start with a smaller enclosure is because i kept hearing SO MANY opinions on hatchlings stressing out in a bigger enclosure. (which sounds kind of weird when you think of WILD hatchlings who have the whole world at their feet)
what are your guys' opinions on this?

My opinion is that I dont wanna be stuck shasing a hatchling around a 8x4 enclosure. lol. jp. In my opinion, get a larger enclosure, they'll be fine. Put everything they need in one half or section, and leave a couple hides on the other end. Most likely they'll stay within the area of the things they need. I don't think they should stress out unless they feel threatened and can't hide :/
