local pet shop find

[jwyo]

Found this guy at my local pet shop, $60. Had him listed as a Peruvian Tegu, finally I get lucky! Store owner had no idea what it even was. Of course he went home with me.

Man, that's crazy. I haven't seen a Peruvian Tegu in years! I thought they went extinct back in '83.

LUCKY!! the only thing in my pet shop is a columbian labeled as a Argentine black and white with a picture off bobbys website saying "this is the parents" i told them they were full of crap and i'd tell bobby bout it

Reminds me of what I got Rex (7 yrs ago) I ordered a colombian from Reptile Depot and paid $69, and received an argentine.

Nice find...just goes to show that a sharp eye and being in the right place at the right time can pay off handsomely!

Btw, did he come with the glove?

 

[jwyo]

LOL...the glove is his fav. hidey hole. Put it in his enclosure to familiarize him with it and my scent, and ever since he just loves it.
