i would also like to have a read of this thread as have not seen it myself either, i will also post the progress of my blues as time goes on either on here or f book or the likes, but for now i can say that george is growing rapidly, 2 sheds in 2 months. milly is starting to trust me a little once ive got her out anyway. they are 2 lovely little creatures. i also have to laugh at the way george always follows milly around like a lost sheep.

wharf is the only one i know of at the moment which has one or two left, you can also keep checking preloved pets, as they turn up on there from time to time although they are usualy larger. last years babies will mostly be sold by now so you may have to wait until about july august time for this years hatchling, as for the blues who knows when we will see more imported from south america.

you can also add me on face book to see all of my pics & progress reports, im chris smith my profile pic is one of my blues, that should narrow it down a bit.

so no breeding goes on at all over the winter? i realise that most of them hibernate is this why? surely some dont hibernate and mate

argh i cant wait 6 months, my viv is all set up ready and waiting

I was not aware of any mass shipping of reptile eggs over seas.

Post pics or the source of your info . Anyone whom has ever owne reptiles knows you dont move eggs . Jarring trhem can cause the babies to drown in vitro. So I doubt this even occurred . I asked around in about every forum I belong to and they ALL said the same thing I did

please note i didnt say any thing about eggs i said young tegus, eggs was from some one elses comment, havnt got evidence paperwork wise but both my animals are chipped, but i will atach a couple of pics & please comment as to wheather you think they are blues, every one whos seen them thinks they are, looks like there in the u.k to stay.

This is the original thread on RFUK :
http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/forums/lizard-classifieds/755796-blue-tegus.html

It includes a photo of one of the imports as well. The other thread was just an ad, no photos.

They seem to be turning up every where, but selling within days. I know if one breeder who had eggs currently incubating. But I think the parents are hybrids and he is hoping to throw a few pure blues from the mix !

How tame/calm are they ? The Wharf have warned me that the ones they have are fairly skittish

yea they are housed together in a 8x3ft viv, i braught george first from a reptile shop in mansfield, he was the only one they had, but they handled him every day, so he was pretty placid when i got him, he hissed & arched his back at me but that was about it, 2 months later i now open the viv and he hopps streight out he loves a scratch & a fuss.

milly i got from wharf just over a week ago, she is very skittish, but not in an agressive way she blows herself up hisses & wriggles her tail at me then she leggs it for cover if i approach her, once out she calms down but constantly attempts to sneek off,
now however we are making progress already 10 days into owning her, if i approach her calmly & slowly make sure she can see me she still huffs n puffs, walks away very slowly but alows me to pick her up from under her belly without legging it. today she was rubbing her nose up the glass as if she was telling me she wanted to come out.

almost forgot had to laugh when i braught her, the chap at wharf got her out, she pannicked that much that she projectiled the entire contense of her bowl all over him, that will teach him for using a tea towel.

any way i think if you take your time with your purchase it will soon realise your not a threat & start craving attention from you. hope this helps.
george was my first tegu & i think i was more nervous of him, than he was of me, but now i have overcome them nervs we are great together.
