I have had Dante for a couple of weeks now in a 40 gallon breeder upstairs in my reptile room. I am not entirely thrilled with his irregular eatting patterns lately or the fact that he didn't seem to get accustomed to people as quickly as I hoped... SO tonight I took one of my bts out of my living room enclosures and turned it into a little red tegu enclosure so that I would be able to keep an eye on him more regularly, and also to promote more interaction and cause him to become more accustomed seeing people on a very regular basis (as opposed to my reptile room where I spend maybe half an hour a day). So Here are some pics of Dante!
oh btw... I chose the name Dante because a) he's a red tegu and I am in love with Dante's inferno and b) I lived in Florence Italy for school this past semester and it reminds me of my time there (as Dante was born and lived in Florence until he was exiled). I named my female tegu Beatrice (wishful thinking perhaps?) after Dante's love interest.
