hi! congrats on your new baby!!!!
I ordered my first one from him last month! I CANNOT WAIT!! I put in a request for a male black and white.
I plan to name him Spartacus. I am having a 4'x2' cage being built for him =)
SUPER EXCITED!! JULY CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH!! =D


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.

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?


I really have never had an issue putting hatchling tegus in larger enclosures. True, you could spend some time "chasing" them around until they get used to you, but A LOT of that "chasing" can be alleviated by proper PRELIMINARY acclimation techniques. For example, if you're willing to be patient enough to just sit with your hand in the cage for 10-20 minutes at a time, or just spot clean, change water, etc...then eventually your tegus will stop thinking you're a threat and will, most likely, start coming TO you when you open the cage. I've NEVER had to chase a tegu around a cage after the first two weeks of this acclimation technique. They ALWAYS come to the enclosure doors when I open them. Always. Granted, that might just might be my experience, but I think it might be my experience BECAUSE of how I acclimated my tegus to my presence.

Good luck, either way!

They've only been around for a year, but I do believe that every single one sold last year. If you want one, and he still has one, I'd recommend putting down a deposit ASAP.

I thought he had the AA in 2009 and 2010. Was 2010 the first time he bred these??

He was all out, when i inquired for 2011. But shoot him an email, perhaps someone backed out or something. ;o)

I'm excited for all you with deposits, nothing like opening that package and seeing your baby GU for the first time.

I just reserved a male, and I'm very excited about the prospect of having another lizard, especially one with so much personality, watching his videos they truly act like dogs with scales haha. My gf seems a little iffy about the thought of having a lizard this large,but she said she would get use to it. I told her not to worry that I would always be around, or close to him when he's free roaming. Can't wait til July.

My husband will not even touch my reptiles however he really likes the tegu. He even let my new extreme crawl around on his lap. As long as she is not afraid of them she might get used to it.
