Biggin is still getting biger :)

[tommylee22]

HI all, so if you have been following Biggin's growth you will see that he continues to get huge, I've had him now for a month and 5 days. He has shed again since my last post of pics showing his growth. Anyway here is a pic from the day I got him and then 5 pics showing him tonight after his bath.

enjoy and as always any comments or questions welcome.

Oh and a quick note, I'm 6'4" with a 37" arm as I wear a 36/37 shirt if that helps give you an idea as to his size.

Thanks,
T

Oh wow, I love the head shots. Really nice! And, holy crap he's gotten big. I guess the green is totally gone?

And a quick question for ya- was Biggun a little piggy from day one, or was he picky about his food at first?

great tegu, be very happy he is tame . im dealing with a wild hatchling right now.

He is a genetic freak. That is just ridiculous. I wanna meet him in person.

Thanks all, the green has been gone for a couple weeks. He has grown at a unreal rate, Biggin is very tame, he doesn't even blink an eye when reaching in to pick him up. He eats like a champ and has always from the moment he came out of the box. I can't ask for a more friendly/healthy little friend.

Sure, I order whole ground animal foods like Chicken/Turkey/Rabbit/quail. I also have a dubia roaches I keep just for him and he also gets the treats on weekends like horn worms fruit and frozen mice.

So each day he gets something dif. with my rabbit and turkey I also have whole ground quail eggs mixed into the meat. So it looks like this.

M= Turkey/quail eggs(blend) with a dubia or two
T= Rabbit with Dubias or two
W=Chicken/quail eggs(blend) with grapes
Th= Quail with dubias
F= Hamburger with calcium suplament -D3.
S=Fuzzy or two with horn worms or dubia
Su= Fuzzy or two with posible fruit option(note he may only take one or two bited of fruit, he's not a fan).

Thats about it and the order changes up and depending sometimes I liketo bring him new stuff like chicken gizzards ect

Sorry for the late answer, Biggin was a healthy little guy right out of the box, ate in the first hr and no he wasn't picky he ate everyday from day 1 and got his fill, I always let him eat till he stops on his own. He's a big eater!
