Hello from Memphis TN

[Vince]

Greetings everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. Don't have a tegu yet, but have put down a deposit for one of Bobby's B&W's. My fiance and I have a beardie and a gecko and after seeing the videos of Bobby's tegus, the fiance was sold on them.

I have a 40 gallon ready and am in the process of building an indoor 7x4x4 for the little guy (or gal) for when he needs to upgrade.

I found a beardie forum that was very helpful after we got him, and I was very glad to have found them. So I wanted to find a good community and wealth of knowledge for the new baby so we'll be ready when he arrives.

Welcome! A 40 gallon will be good for a few months at most. If the tegu stays up all winter I don't see it lasting longer than 4-5 months. If it hibernates you might be able to use it until spring. What kind of gecko do you guys have?

A leopard. Impulse buy at the Repticon a few weeks ago. Fiance is trying to adjust her expectations. After having the beardie that's more or less a bean bag that you can carry around anywhere, the skittish nature of the gecko is taking some getting used to for her

We're near Bartlett. And thanks for the welcome!

Welcome and if you have the 7x4x4 ready when you get the little guy, I would just start with that. It will save him from the stress of moving from the 40 to the bigger cage in the future.

Unless I really shock myself, I doubt it'll be ready. But I definitely will do that if it is.

Welome this is a great place to get all kinds of info and help on raising your tegu. I am on here more than I like to admit.
