Nothing special just thought I would share some new pictures of my Tegu

I'll upload some more later, I was having some technical difficulties

Love the pics...looks like he just needs a beer and a remote!

I let him wander and found him stealing the dogs food

he tucked himself in

K. First pic is Jurassic Park search for wayward kids hiding in a kitchen. Last picture is ready for happy lizard dreams! Very beautiful.

The first picture I was feeding him trying to get a picture of his teeth, but then he just started looking at my phone and wouldn't eat

 

[Walter1]

Sizing up camera for food? Hmm? Hmmm?

 

[thatoneguy]

Up until today he has had no interest in fruit, but today he finally ate a strawberry. He also tried to eat pieces of an orange tennis ball the dogs destroyed.

Good looking tegu

Maybe with age comes more interest in diverse diet????

 

[thatoneguy]

Thanks Dee-Dee.

I've heard as they get older they will start eating fruit. I plan on trying a variety of fruits and some vegetables too.

Try to mix the fruit in with other food. He looks like he had a long day of exploring LOL.. passed out

Had to stop letting Jack my tegu get around my boxer...she likes to lick him nonstop and Jack finally got mad and bit her tongue while she was slobbering on him!!! Bled like crazy for a few minutes before it stopped. Had to get out the carpet cleaner to clean up the blood - looked like someone got stabbed. Just a friendly reminder that tegus get annoyed occasionally...and they have tiny shark like teeth!

Snib- bad as the bloody scene may have looked, no doubt, no doubt, Jack showed restraint!! Could've been way worse. So dog knows boundaries. Old saying 'no lickin', no learnin'.

 

[snibborsirk]

Walt1 - agreed, he def showed restraint. It was def just a quick nip of a bite to say "leave me alone already" but those darn sharp teeth on the boxers tongue didn't fair well for a few minutes - especially since her tongue was retracting when he nipped her! He doesn't even flinch when the dogs are around him now - he was just tired of the boxer interfering with his free roam time.

 

[Walter1]

Neat.

Oh, poor Duchess! But I bet she will mind her tongue around Jack now. My ferrets gave a similar lesson to my oldest, told him to keep some distance, please! Hope she's ok!
