Today we brought our male Blue Tegu back to the vet because he still hasn't pooped in 2 weeks. It's long story. So we'll skip that one and do another. Afterward we went to a pet store a couple of blocks away. Our 10 year old son had found some robin eggs and has been holding them all day since we hadn't been home since 9am. He also found a baby robin 2 days earlier and my wife has been spoon feeding it moist dog food for 2 days. We had the baby with us and she'd feed it every hour or 2. The people in the store know a kid who does local rescue and thought he might want to try to hatch the eggs. He came, but decided against it. He told us about all of the reptiles he's rescued lately including a nasty 10 ft Burm that hates his guts; a couple of Red Eared Sliders and a nasty funny colored Gecko that's bitten him may times and barks!! I didn't know Gecko's bark!! He said he got a call about a venomous reptile in McDonalds bathroom! When he picked it up it bit him hard enough to draw blood and has bitten him many times since. We thought it might be interesting and agreed to take it. So we went next door to have pizza for dinner and he went home and got it. Since we were eating in a restaurant he left it at the pet store and we picked it up after we finished eating. They figured out it is a Tokay Gecko. This vet is an hour away so she fed the baby robin in the car before we left. So we drove home with (3) robin eggs, a baby robin, a nasty Tokay Gecko and a constipated Tegu. Can you picture this??!!
Ok. Here are the pictures.
.
Be prepared, this is a nasty, killer reptile.
.
He called it Son of Satan it's so evil!!
.
The squeamish might want to look away!!!
.
OK, you asked for it!!
I named him Stitch.
Doesn't he scare the crap out of you??!! Maybe we'll show him to the Tegu!!! :mrgreen:
He's a little thin but we'll fix him up.
