Roy X Magnolia tegus hatched 6/25/2010 (official thread)

[tora]

I know right now they all look the same but I think he so cute, so have another pic of him napping on me! Also, he's not a very good hunter, haha. I think if I left the crickets in there for only 15 min he wouldn't get enough. Half the time he is waaaay off and faceplants into the tub. Anyone ever seen their gu scratch their head with their back leg like a dog? This sort of caught me off guard a little, lol.

He is cute.

And my beardies do that with their back legs too lol. Mostly me female when shes in a bath, or if a roach gets on my males head lol.

And I'm glad to hear that yours is eating, or attempting to catch food lol. Mine has only had a lil egg since he's been here. He had a lil the day I brought him home, and a lil more today. I tried giving him some roaches yesterday and he just concentrated on getting out of the bin lol. I'm sure he's still a lil freaked out about being in a box for a day and a half and being in constant motion lol.

Yeah I noticed he didn't want anything to do with the food until I shut off the main light and only had a hallway light peeking in. The second day I left him in there by himself, otherwise he was too distracted by me. He's making lots of progress already though, earlier he wasn't too thrilled about me being in his space and trying to take him out, but now I can stick my hand in there and pet him and he loves it, lol.

Back to the top, lets see some more babies.

I have a couple questions about my setup though. I may just be over thinking it, but I wanna make sure.
My 10.0 and heat lamp dont really overlap, so I'm wandering if i should re-build the top to the cage and move the 10.0 over, and maybe partially rest the heat lamp on the side of the 10.0 fixture.

And a couple more of Apophis.

Lokks fine to me, however i am going to have to steal your idea on that top lol, it makes more sense since it keeps the uvb from being blocked!

Ok that makes me feel better.

My copyright fee isn't too much...Haha jk jk. And its cheaper than going out and buying a screen top at a pet shop or wherever. Although it was free for me because I just used the scrap wood and screen from building my beardies enclosures, and left over glue and screws form working on my audio setup in my car.

I can take some closer, more detailed pics of the top if you want.

My baby boy finally arrived today!!! I am so excited!! :app

I've named him Maverick, and he has settled in to his nice big enclosure very well so far! Spent most of today (arrived around noon) in his basking area...and now he's hunkered down somewhere beneath all the mulch

Here's a couple of pics I managed to snap today! And I'll definitely have more on the way (I am a photo freak!)
