thanks for the feedback, but honestly i didn't even know my older tegu mojo was a colombian, i bought him as an "argentine b&w" at a local pet shop, i feel a little shocked by it but i still love him the same, doesnt matter to me

D: aw man, yea it happens a lot. Pet stores try to pass off a $35-50 lizard as the more expensive $150+ type. :[ He is still adorable though!

Kodo was also labeled as an Argentine and I too freaked a bit when I found out otherwise, but if you treat them with TLC they turn out pretty awesome. Yours look very nice. What's the sav eating in that one shot?

That's what I want to know as well. What's he eating? Brain?

Beautiful animals though. I adore your Monitor's lighter coloration.

i honestly felt a little deceived, ive read about all the colombian issues as far as temperament and mojo has never really displayed any of those characteristics, i open his enclosure and he'll crawl onto my lap, and the savannah is eating some ground chicken

just some ground chicken i had left over, usually feed him ground turkey but i figured id give it a shot and he seemed to enjoy it
when i first got him he wasn't as light as he's become post-shed, i absolutely love it, my friends are envious because their savannahs are much darker

The more mine sheds the lighter she gets like yours. Yours is beautiful! Mine ended up with a lot of orange and yellow color on her (thus far) and I hope she keeps it. My first tegu is on the way now and I'm so excited to see how he turns out :)
