BLUE TEGU'S HAVE FINALLY HATCHED!!!!!!

[ashesc212]

Hi Dave! I haven't been on in a while but Chris told me your new guys hatched! I'm so excited for you! You are doing a great job as usual.

You truly have a good blood line going there. Lucky is 4' long and 7+ lbs and it's only been a little over a year!!!!! He's still growing too! He may break world records hahaha!


It's strange seeing them look that small again. I forgot how Lucky looked that way too only a year ago. Too bad they grow up so fast!

Anyway, I hope you and your family are well as well!

I'll do that tomorrow. I'm working on getting things ready to ship tomorrow.

I just finished giving them all baths. As I selected which Tegu was going where, I rubbed them under the chin (they close their eyes!), told them where they were going and put them in the deli cup. They are waiting in their unsealed boxed to be taken to the Post Office tomorrow.

good job another yr of blues. impressive.

 

[DaveDragon]

Thanks! It's tough to see them go. Last year was worse because it took longer to sell them.

what is your trick? what size cage? inside or outside in summer? hibernation? do they live together all yr?

 

[DaveDragon]

They live inside, separately, in 7ft x 3ft cages. They do not hibernate but slow down some. We haven't seen much of our second female lately even though she was up today for a few hours and ate. They breed outside, free roaming in the yard. Observed, of course. We tried in each of their cages and the owner was always dominant. We tried in the house but they we're comfortable and just wandered around. So we went outside and they locked up in a few minutes.
