Tobias the Tegu!

[Midwestmonster]

Sounds like great progress for day 3. : )

Just be patient. He will come around and be amazing. Sounds like you're doing an excellent job!

 

[Jeremyxb12]

all I can say in this is be patient no matter what and maybe have him in a closed off area with you and let him know that your there to be his buddy

A yearling wouldn't really be any different except it would be bigger and faster LOL.

 

[jtrux]

Alright Liz, time for updates!

 

[Midwestmonster]

I agree. : )

Pimp your tegu out. Lol.

Sorry took so long been busy with my receptive chameleon its her first egg clutch, eggs are not fertile but she is still laying and I'm so nervous she has like a 50% chance of getting egg bound and die, but im doing everything to prevent that and got her everything she needs now just waiting lol

Anyway about Tobias he is doing wonderful still cant hold him but ive been petting more of him each day had to start off with the very little tip of his tail, he is very tolerable of my presence and doing well with feeding time and his free roam time.

the pics are from day 2 to a few days ago to today
tell me what you guys think!

 

[Liz Herrera]

He loves to sit in the natural sun when I let him out

 

[jtrux]

He's getting big!

 

[Midwestmonster]

He looks great Liz. You're doing a nice job. Seeing all that space on his basking rock reminded me how I need to get Camilla a bigger one this weekend. She is too big for her current one. I can't get over how big yours is already. Johnny's tegus must be growth freaks cause mine has grown a lot too. Lol. Post a video of your setup and Tobias. His colors look amazing.

Good to hear the handling is getting better everyday. Just be patient. Before you know he will be crawling all over ya.

 

[Liz Herrera]

um... im spending time with my tegu now and I walked out the room for a sec and he pooped but also there is like a pink thing hanging out of him is that just his parts??? I left johnny a voice mail but is this normal??

 

[Liz Herrera]

ok so it was gone it like 10 min, and I looked it up everything is alright.

 

[TeguBuzz]

Sounds like hemipenes; making it a male. Otherwise it could have been a very minor prolapse if he/she pulled it back up. Keep a close watch, all should be fine though.

 

[Liz Herrera]

I talk to Johnny and he said what it sounded like was his parts, I really hope so cause I want a male!

 

[TeguBuzz]

Fingers crossed then! He has grown quite fast, I'm looking forward to seeing frequent updates.

Hope all is well.

Tobias loving his bath time
He just turned 4 months old last Monday.

 

[Midwestmonster]

Great pics. I can't hold my friend with one hand anymore. Lol.

Colors look great. He looks very healthy. How's the handling going?

Beautiful nice looking tegu!

 

[Liz Herrera]

I miss tobias so much
he has been in hibernation since late november.
Hopefully he doesn't stay down for too long but i did go ahead and just let him be and adjust his temps to winter temps.

 

[Midwestmonster]

I feel the same way about my bearded dragon. She's been down too since November. I miss watching TV with her.

 

[Midwestmonster]

Hi Liz. Hope things are well. Let's see an update on your friend. He's got to be much bigger now.
