Hi everyone, I have been reading this forum for a few months, but did not register/post because of what happened to my tegu. I got a 16 inch Argentinian black & white on craigslist last October. I had it for about 3 weeks and he/she was doing great, but then I made a tactical mistake. I went out on my back porch with it sitting on my shoulder. Before I could do anything, it jumped off my back and ran under the house. I went into the crawl space many times trying to find it, but never did. A month later my neighboor alerted me to a "large lizard" in her back yard. I could never find it. Then it got cold, low 30's for next 3 months. One week ago, when I was throwing out the trash I almost had a heart attack when I saw a black shape with white spots run past me and slip away under the house. I set a traps every day since then, but caught nothing. Today I was in my garage working when I saw the tegu peeking from behind some boxes. Long story short, I caught it. I cant believe its alive...looks a bit thin, but has a fresh shed and all its limbs. I was sure it was dead, but it survived the winter. So now I'm very happy and can post our story.
