My Blue Tegu Official Thread

Neosporin can be tacky but if you don't apply a ton, it actually absorbs in pretty fast.

Today i feed every lizard i have boiled eggs with the shell... Blue didn't really know what to do with it... First it got stuck on top of his mouth.. It took him almost 5 minutes to figure out... If he uses his tongue to push.. It'll come out..lol. He's a trip. So i put a bit of water in the bowl and he ate couple bites.. No as much as i wanted though but i guess he was full.... Sunshine however is an eating machine.. She ate half of an egg and a pinkie.. She was so fat when she was done.. She couldnt even fit inside her little eco earth tunnel she made lol.. Drako my 1 year old beardy is the man when it comes to eating... I could leave piles of food in front of this guy and he'll mow through it like no tomorrow.. He grown a lot since coming out of hibernation in march.. A LOT. Is it weird that he loves water?.. Being a desert lizard id figure he won't like swimming as much but he loves his bath to a point where everyday when the sun sets he soaks himself inside his water bowl for couple hours until i pull the cages inside....

My golden dropped almost 3 inches of her tail within the first week of me having her, but its growing back now.

So do you think i should be holding blue more, so he get more use to being handled or is having him walk on me and falling asleep just as good?...

We've been sitting in our living room, with all the exits and holes blocked off, and just letting the two of them free roam around us. we've become jungle gyms. Also been heating up one of those microwave bean bag things, and then wrapping it in our shirts so they nest in it with our smells.

Theyre both getting alot better being around us.

I wish mine would just sit and sleep on me, aha.

When i started holding blue.. Id put him in my lap and put my hand over him.. Like a cave.. At first he would always walk rite out.. But I've noticed that when i started holding him after he eat.. He was more calm. Today i took some pictures of his tail..

I sold blue on 9/10 due to a family emergency. It broke my heart to sell him, but it was a life or death situation... LITERALLY...

I'm very sorry to hear that. But, most importantly I hope the situation that came up is resolved with a happy ending for those involved. Best of luck, mate.
