So I was at the petstore today applying for a job and to get some crickets for my other pets, then I came across a awesome 3' male red tegu, with unusual patterns, this tegu had no missing body parts anywhere, he was healthy, no broken anything, he had the perfect body structure, then I was able to stay for his feeding time, he ate like a champ, he had 2 fuzzy mice, bits of scrambled eggs, and fruits and vegetables. But before the feeding time I was able to hold him, after that he kept on staring at me for like 6 seconds after the food was dropped into his cage
I knew this would have been the perfect pet for me, but since it was too perfect it was priced at $500, and I would have had to pay another $350 for a building a good sized enclosure and the supplies, but my parents are still against this idea, the last time I mentioned my monkey tail skink, i ended up getting yelled at, so........any suggestions?
I mean, I'm ready for this, I know how much they eat, I know how much space they require, I know everything about the care for a red tegu such as this one, but again it's my parents that are in the way, I mean, I'm 16 years old, have my own reptile room and all, but why don't my parents allow it? should I just buy it anyways, and see what happens? you guys' parents don't care if bought a reptile, right?
