OK...
So, I've gotta sell Aesop (probable male, 2010 extreme giant--blizard/sugar parents) and Francis (probable female 2010 extreme giant--sarge/cream parents).
My band is moving to Nashville in January and with our upcoming touring schedule, they just won't be getting the attention that they deserve.
Aesop WAS almost 4 feet before he lost a good chunk of his tail a few months ago (which has grown back about 3 inches or so) and is quite tame (haven't had a single incident with him--but he DID have an episode with another keeper while I was on my honeymoon, which is how he lost his tail--the story about this is in another thread). He is currently eating medium rats (once or so a month) and ground turkey--dusted with calcium and cod liver oil (about a 1/2 pound, 3-4 days a week).
Francis is over 3 feet and quite tame (she literally climbs up my arm when I put my hand in the cage). She has all of her tail. She eats about a quarter pound of ground turkey per day (with calcium and cod liver oil) and a small rat about once every two weeks.
I will be taking updated pictures tonight, but to give you some perspective, here is a link to a video with Aesop and Francis (Aesop is the bigger of the two).

I've also just had a cage built in June that is 8 feet long by 3 feet deep and just over 2 and 1/2 feet high. It is two 4 foot sections, bolted together. It has 4 coats of drylok, two flourescent fixtures and two "regular" light fixtures. It has tempered glass front-sliding glass doors (two pairs) and really smooth showcase tracking for the glass. It's heavy as all hell, so if you're interested in that, you'd need to be within driving distance and have access to some large truck or van. I'll have pictures of this up at the same time that I put new pics up of Aes and Francis.
I'm in no rush to sell these guys, so please, no sense in low-balling me at this point. I'm offering them to you guys first because I know how much you guys love your tegus and how well you take care of them.
I'm willing to ship these guys, provided that it is safe for the animals. I'm not sure that shipping such big lizards is a good idea, but I'm open to suggestions on how to make that work.
Like I said, I don't have any NEW pictures, but if you search this site for "Aesop" or "Francis", you will get some results.
I'm looking to get $450 for each (they have been well cared for and have put on some serious size, not to mention their mellow temperaments). I'd sell the cage for $250 OBO (it cost damn near $200 just for the glass and tracking).
Like I said, I've got a few months before these guys HAVE to go, but I'm gonna put them out there now so that if somebody wants them before hibernation, they can have them. I'm really gonna miss these guys---they are incredible animals.

I hope you can find them a good home. You've been taking great care of them, hopefully someone on the one of the forums takes 'em. I'd love to watch them grow up! But congratulations on the band progress!!
