One of these days I'm going to go through all 13 pages of this thread, and list the user name, and the tegu name of each sibling. It would be fun to have everybody accounted for. :-D

Back to the subject of frisky Gu's, I had a little incident with Jango today. I was giving him his bath and I was sitting on the floor with my hands in the tub like I usually do. He was splashing around a little more than usual, but oddly, he wasn't trying to climb my arms. My daughter was sitting next to me and I just started to turn towards her and Jango tried to jump out of the tub. He tried to jump out right where my face was. And my mouth was open. You guessed it... I got frenched buy a Gu....whole head, right in my mouth. I thought my daughter was going to pee her pants, all she kept saying was "God, I wish we had that on video!". Luckily, he didn't get his claws on my face or it might not have been a little painful, instead of just disgusting. I know some people like to kiss their Gu's, but I'm not one of them.
I feel so violated.... :oops:

Time for more huge pictures!

I took him outside on the leash today... can't say he liked the leash too much, but I snapped some somewhat decent pictures!

In other news I got to measure him again today, he came in at 26 inches! He's grown 2.5" since the last time I measured him last week :shock:

The last time I checked Jango, he looked over his shoulder and winked at me....
I don't think I'll be checking him again any time soon.

Jango sounds like a little perv. Lol jk. But there is no shortage in appitite with Zero here. Turns out his favorite food is chicken liver. I was busy so i set a plate of it in his enclosure and he was dragging it all over getting substrate on it. So i battled with him to get it back and it took forever! I put him in his feeding bin and he ate it all (yes i gave him new livers). The most ive ever seen him eat. He ate two full livers. And there was peices on the lid and walls it looked like a blood bath. Wow now i know.

My wife just left for the store. On her way out, she asked me if there was anithing I needed and I ran down a list of various "innards". She just rolled her eyes, gacked a little, and left. She's still a little PO'd at me for giving him some of the chicken breast she had thawing in the fridge.
I think it's fun finding out what Jango likes. It's starting to turn into a "Hey, let's see if he'll eat this" game. So far, I haven't found anything that's normally edible that he won't eat. I had to say no to the kids when they brought down the Fruit Loops though, You have to draw the line somewhere...

I thaw Jango's mice in a jar of hot water so they are washed throughly by the time they thaw out. Maybe Zero want's his mice clean? Since he like chicken livers so much, try rubbing a mouse down with a liver.

Cleo was tearing her enclosure up this afternoon hardcore.

She got a rat pup yesterday, and today was supposed to be her day to digest.

WELL guess not!

It was five o clock, and she was being so squirrelly (I took her out to let her stretch her legs and get some cuddling in) that I made her a soft boiled egg and put her in the bin.

I usually just rinse them with cold water for a minute to cool them down, and then squish them a little bit, shell and all, and let her go at it.

AND MAN she attacked that thing! :shock:

She usually eats around 1-2. She was supppppa hungry.

Growing girl!

So much for skipping a day. I remoisted her mulch while she was eating and tidied up in her enclosure. About once a week or so, I demolish her burrow, so she can have some excersise digging a new one. After her "ordeal" she is just curled up in her log hide. I'll be stunned if she sleeps in there. She never has used it before.

What a hard life. :-D

Yea Zero was VICIOUS to those poor chicken livers. He bit of way more than he could chew. Once half of it was down he would shake it all over and get peices EVERYWHERE. Then would go attack the peices. I think im gonna give him a live mouse once so he gets a taste for them and see's it moving. That and ill get a rat pup so it wont bite
