Frank the Argentine B&W

[megasaurus]

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

lol got it.. I thought they were eyeballs..lol I was like dam, people feed their gu's all kinda stuff.

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

 

[Kym123089]

Haha eyeballs. I'm lucky that mine even considers ground meat occasionally

 

[megasaurus]

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!

 

[Kym123089]

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

 

[megasaurus]

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
