Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sale

[gboleslavsky]

It's a shame I got to sell him, love the guy, raised him in my bedroom, sleep with him often. He's in perfect shape, 4 feet, not a missing scale. Absolutely tame. BUT, I keep him and 2 other males in a 4x10 encl. As soon as he (Ori) got bigger than my Giant male rescue Fidel (with mild mbd), Ori started attacking him. He bites him all the time and took a decent chunk out of his neck a week ago, just skin, but still. I have a table at the Hamburg show on Feb. 26 to sell the Rhacs I breed and will bring him. I live in CEnter City Philly. The price will depend on the acommodations he's provided, the better the home, the lower the price. Greg Boleslavsky 215-350-4250. I'll take some pics tonite but he looks like a perfect 2 yo B&W tegu male from Bobby, which he is.

Delta Dash for cost, probably 80 or so. But I have to see the setup first.

if you mean the cage im building a 4x4x3.but i planing on that being just a bed of sorts.i want my tegus to roam the house and not be cooped up in there cage all the time.5 long is the longest i can get with being in an apartment. when i move out and into a house i will make it longer.

Because of that line you have earned my complete respect as someone who truly cares about the animal...

I have an '08 Varnyard male and I know several people that are totally in love with him. I'll ask around to see if anyone is interested...

.i want my tegus to roam the house and not be cooped up in there cage all the time.5 long is the longest i can get with being in an apartment. when i move out and into a house i will make it longer.

I share your feelings but question the practicality of it.

My Tegu lives in an 8' x 3' in the winter and free roams most days (including right now ). He refuses to poop in his enclosure therefore the first thing I do when I let him out is take him to the bathroom for a 'controlled poop'. If I left his cage door open all day he would poop anywhere and everywhere, except in his enclosure...

24x7 free roaming indoors is a fun idea, but in reality it would result in a very nasty dwelling for you to live in...


I'm not sure what your apartment is like, but be creative in your cae design. Consider a double decker enclosure to increase floor space... If you have a deck/balcony/porch consider creating an outdoor space for your Tegu to spend time (mine lives on a 6' x 12' outdoor balcony in the summer time).

yeah the fecal mess would be something id have to watch.id most likely have to watch for when it goes to the bathroom and kinda get his rhythm.the double decker thing sounds like a good idea.=] ill prolly look into that. we have a balcony.i have to make sure t couldent get out of that space since its a long way down.but that would be a good way for it to get some fresh air and some sun light. hopefully gboleslavsky thinks i would be a good person to home his tegu.i understand if he didnt it is prolly his baby and wants whats best for it.

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

I have ladders that the tegus use to go out of their cage, which is always open. I leave the food outside on a plate on the floor. The garage is temp and humidity controlled since I breed my rhacs there. The floor is a special kind of epoxy mixed with plastic stones, so it's pretty easy to clean but it's still a pain, I wish I trained them to go on newspaper, I have to clean up the poop daily, but it's not too bad, few mins with Nolvasan. I'll post pics. The cage should be at least 6'x3x4 for one, with a foot of cypress mulch covering it. I get mulch locally in Philly, 4 bucks for 2 cubic feet, and use about 40 bags for 10x4. Formica is best, then covered in heavy plastic on the bottom so one can spray the mulch with a hose. Cold blooded reptile price for Delta Dash is 130, I checked today, but I prefer somewhere within 7-8 hrs drive from Philly so I can drive him and see where he's going, pics first.

I thought shipping a big lizard would be more ..

Even the smallest puppy costs 300.00 ..

This opens up a whole world of possibilitys...

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

they are that expensive because they have to put them in a crate and other things have to be met for them to get on a plane.reptiles dont have to be in crates like dogs.did you want pics from me? gboleslavsky

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

I'm going to the Hamburg show! What do you call yourself so I know what table to look for? Although I'm sure there wont be many w/ 2yo GUs.

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

Hi, real busy at work, will post pics and all in a day or two, plus got to learn how to use the new SLR. My table at Hamburg will have BestCrest smallish sign on it, 25-30 crested geckos I hatched last year -- pinstripes and red dalmatians, 15 or so striped gargoyles, 20 leopard geckos, one PI chahoua and the tegu. I bred all the geckos last year. Right now I am raising a pair of Quince monitors and a pair of yellow ackies, I have a nice high color mixed breed henkeli giant female that I raised for a couple of years and maybe will get a young male for her fat the show. If you've been to the Hamburg shows before I used to be the only one selling dubias but now there are many others so I just breed them for food. I will need to see pics of enclosure before I sell the tegu for sure.

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

Hi, call me at 215-350-4250 or leave a phone number. I need to discuss some things before I get the needed level of comfort and to make sure you know what you're getting into.

A suitable cage for the tegu I am trying to sell:

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.customcages.com/index.cfm?do=detail&productid=43" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.customcages.com/index.cfm?do ... oductid=43</a><!-- m -->

will need to use several lights, the maker should be able to provide a top with several holes. The easiest thing to do is to use 3 sets of two bulbs above the basking spot on one end of enclosure, the hot end, since tegus are around 4' and need a long basking spot, liek 2' or so min. One bulb would be a 150w flood for heat, the other a compact fluorsecent high power UVB. There may still not be enough UVB, got to check with a meter, you need to get at least 50mW per cm2. Also on the cool end the hid should be on a plastic bin filled with cypress mulch or some other non-rotting humidity holding stuff. The bing should be 1.5' x 2'. That ought to do it.

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

ok is there a certain time you want me to call you?

 

[Guest]

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

i was wondering what you think the total price is going to be also.

 

[gboleslavsky]

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

Price for the tegu:
1. If I see a pic of proper accommodations or a receipt from the website I provided for that cage, it is 250 for the animal
2. Otherwise it is 450 and I will give 200 back as soon as proper accommodations are obtained and evidence is provided. If I see no reasonable accommodations in the near future, I will not sell at all.

 

[Guest]

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

well if i can get pics of my cage soon enough i can put em up.otherwise im not paying 450.

 

[gboleslavsky]

Re: Beautiful very very tame Bobby's 2008 adult male for sal

that's the idea, to make sure the animal is taken care of once I do sell him
