I'll have pics/vids up tomorrow of Abeni and Aidan. They've started moving around a bit

My tegu never wanted to go to sleep. I mean he's been eating less than normal, but he ate all winter, and has been digging and moving and tipping his water bowl over all winter XD

Our Blues only slow down, they get up most days for a little while.

Our big male Red woke up 2 weeks ago and went right into shed! He's almost white! And hungry!!!!!

So does this bust the myth about Tegus being able to breed if they dont hibernate?

Ok, I went out and took some pics today, just keep in mind mine are dirty, lol. Most of them are younger tegus, but there were a few adults out as well.

 

[LouDog760]

Awesome, Bobby!

 

[Beasty]

[VARNYARD]

COOL! Another one down look like my girly a bit. (5009)
And the one in 4986 looks cool too! Stripes and a burnt nose with a goldish coloration. That's pretty unusual. Seems I saw a couple of yours with stripes. Is that genetic..or proven out yet?

Not yet, they will not be able to breed until 2010, they will be two years old in June.

Here are some more of my dirty tegus, they don't looks so great after sleeping in the sand all winter. They should start to shed soon and I can get better pics.

That female had an abscess on her back, I found it late last summer and cut out the dead flesh, she now has a scar there.

Here are more that are awake now:

 

[Bentley83]

Hey Bobby, Thats really cool its almost that time of year. Are any of them eating yet? I know my male is starting to eat but the female is not im a little worried just because of the follicles if she has any. The picture of that female with the scare on her back looks like my female all huge.

Chris

 

[VARNYARD]

When she gets ready she will lay, as long as she is with a male she should'ent absorb the follicles.

 

[Bentley83]

Im just going to wait it out and get some hay and keep an eye on her, I guess its still a little early. What are your tegus doing are any of them eating? Tomorrow I will try and take a picture of her.
