Here's todays pic updates, 9-24-09
Vegeta is in Mid shed, I say mid cause check this out, if you notice in the pic below he looks likes 2 different tegus in 1, from the head down the shed is off, but from the mid way point its still shedding, the pic doesnt really do it justice but man does it look weird in person..
:lol:

Wow Vegeta's looking great. I was wondering where both your screen name and Vegetas name come from. I'm thinking Vegeta is from Street Fighter? And yours, does it stand for "All Wheel Drive 247" or could it mean "Australian Water Dragon 247" I'm not very creative tonight LOL I can't get over how much effort people put into their Gus. Nice cages, careful diets, lots of attention and so on. I noticed that in myself too. I spent way more on mytegus setup than any of my other reps. Must be their eprsonalities eh?

Did you happen to get a measurement on Vegeta? I managed to get Scott measured the other day and it still blows my mind how fast they grow. 21 inches already!!!

Ok so here's today's update to the diary, I got home a bit late today but I had to spend some time with my lil guy, when I got home I noticed he was burrowed somewhere, So I decided to see if he missed me enough to come out and hang for a lil while.





After hanging out for a bit and watching tv, (sorry I look like a mess but we still have alot of house work going on lol and im completely drained from work

After watching my fights for a few I decided to see if he wanted to eat a lil before I put him back in.
As usual he didnt pass up some food, at one point he was having trouble positioning food in his mouth so I had to help him out, he doesnt mind, hes used to my hands wiping his mouth and touching him while he eats, Ive also moved from eating in a feeding bin to having him eat in different locations so he doesnt get used to the same bin for for eating, Now i made him a tray for his food and either have it on the floor, my lap, or prety much wherever im at, like today in the kitchen




Well thanks again for reading the updates , more to come very soon, if anyone has questions or anything they would like to see routine wise, handling, eating etc, let me know.

Good looking gu, I like him, very tame. One suggestion, if it were me, I would give him smaller food tidbits, so he could wolf them down easier. He has a very good appetite.
