Our Newest Addition! Big Red Bertha! :)

[bwiegmann]

I had to post pics of our newest addition! (I think its a female but still to small to tell) She is a little beat up, you can tell she was not in the best of situations, but now shes out of there and doing great! shes missing many toes and the tip of her tail, she had mouth rot when I first got her as well. I have treated her and she is healing up really well and is turning out to be a real beauty! I have a thing for injured or misfit tegus lol Bernie had a broken arm when we got him too I'm just glad i can help them and give them the home they deserve! Here are some pics of her! (shes on aspen temporarily, the cypress was sticking to her wounds, also too moist, the aspen is much drier and the vet said better for her while she is healing. She is getting daily soaks and being monitored closely while shedding to ensure it is all coming off and not restricting bloodflow)

Wow!!! Great looking tegu. I had a very hard time choosing between a red or a blue. This makes me want to get a red one even more.

Did u ask them u wanted a high color red or they all come like that.??

 

[bwiegmann]

She is more red than most ive seen. I just got lucky but I know some breeders do sell high reds or blood reds but you wont know till they grow up. Even a baby from two very red parents wont be garunteed to be that vibrant. Best bet is to get a juvi that is showing great coloration.

Ya that's what I'm looking for a bright red like yours like it how much was is it with shipping and everything.??

 

[bwiegmann]

I only paid 229 for her becsuse of the condition she was in usually one her size will run 350ish I didn't even feel comfortable with what they charged me but I wanted to get her out of there. She was in real bad shape.

 

[Anthony avila]

Ya what was wrong with her do she have full tail and fingers and stuff

 

[bwiegmann]

Missing most of her toes or tips of toes and had very bad moith rot. She also was super skinny.
