Frank the Argentine B&W

I am Megan and Frank is my Argentine Black and White Tegu. He is 36" nose to tail and I have had him since 12". I think he would be bigger if he did not hibernate this past winter. I am going to try and keep him from hibernating this year unless he really insists on it. He is my boy! He is very smart and sneaky and adorable... I never tire of watching him and his antics. He is my sunshine on a bad day and the thing that never fails to make me smile from the inside out! Nice to meet you all! :):)

Attached is a picture of him the week I brought him home and 2 pictures of him eating his lunch today: Ground Turkey with Organic Blueberries Mice and a sprinkling of Miner-All :)

Thanks everyone :) Yes, its turkey with really super juicy blueberries mixed in (my hands are stained purple as well) not eyeballs LOL. Although I may be curious if he would eat an eyeball.. I am sure he would he will eat just about anything! ^_^ As long as its not MY eyeballs I guess... hee hee

Really? Yours is finicky? I am lucky, mine will wolf down fruit no problem. It does help to mix it in the turkey but even if i don't he will still eat it. The only thing he has ever refused was chicken liver and that was when he was a baby... he would probably eat it now. He has an insane appetite and he definately tells me when he wants food!

He's a baby and really just wants mice or asf's. plus quail now! But he is very picky with everything else. The longer I have him the better he gets

Try microwaving the turkey just enough to warm it up and only semi-cook it... That really helped me and now he would probably eat it frozen if i stuck it on his plate Lol
