My new argentine tegu!

[Crystal Rodriguez]

Heey guys,
My name is Crystal and I recently got a Argentine Tegu on saturday at the Central Florida Repticon as an upcoming birthday present. Her name is Blu and she is my first Tegu. I would say she is about four or five months old. I have done my research on tegus before i got Blu but i want a few tips on getting her used to me and being handled. She is eating everyday and o'boy does she love salmon. She gets mist down daily and I plan on taking her a bath every 2-3 days. She really is a sweet heart and i am just in love with her color and patterns. Any tips on what i should be doing these first few weeks of having her?

Hi Cystal. Congrats. She's beautiful and looks healthy. Do you mind sharing the name of the vendor/source?

Anyway, make sure Blu has a thermal gradient so she can be hot, warm, or cool. And think variety on diet. I think the used shirt trick in the hide is good to do. Also, be gentle and never lift from above. Congrats again.

Thank you! I got her from Tegus Only.
