Since everyone is making a thread for their gu thought i would too (so didn't mean to rhyme but decided to leave it)

well ive been researching tegus for 3 years now and been waiting and waiting and waiting i knew from the beginning i wanted a hybrid because i dont find the reds attractive unless they are low contrast and those are hard to find and i love the black and whites with orange on them so i got to googleing and i saw TeguTerras "Peach Tegu" about a year ago well i kept looking and found out that that hybrid was fairly common and waited till i found a baby that i knew id be happy with. Laura posted on fuanclassfieds and i noticed she was a TT member so i decided to lurk around again i figured with how beautiful they were she'd be sold out in a week or to so i waited and waited until some one updated the thread saying she still had him 6 weeks later i decided i had to ask and see who was left she sent me pictures and that was the end of it i saw Kirby and was sold i immediately started looking for a forever cage and a started cage and once i got them and tested temp and humidity i told her i wanted him he arrived yesterday and i couldn't be more happy a long while ago some one on here told me "don't settle wait till you find the one you want" and he couldn't be more right Laura was great and caring she sent me pics when ever asked and even sent me pics on the way to the post office outside the post office and made sure he made it ok! she was a dream to work with and seemed just as excited for me as I was for getting Kirby!
Well he's been settled and is actually eating already as well as not hiding 100% of the time lol!

Well now to the part ya'll care most about PICTURES!!!!!!

Not rushing at all he was out and about I set my hand in the tank while I fiddled on the computer and he crawled into it! Then I pulled him out and we went to the closet he free roamed a while before coming and snuggling behind my back e crawled all over me before that I just kinda ignored him lol

That little one was one of the tamest and biggest. I wish his shed was a little better when I sent him to you. I think his colors will be really nice once this shed comes through.

Thank you for the nice review. I appreciate it. :) I have to say that all the buyers I've sold to have also been a pleasure to work with. Everyone is considerate and communication is smooth. I'm glad you have a new little friend to enjoy!

Well today Kirby didn't come out till I started misting his cage scared the crude outta me bc he popped outta the mulch and ran to the other side after I was done misting he stayed up and basked for a while and I think he may have eaten. He has been very picky on eating only eating a bite or two here and there he did eat about half his turkey when I first got him in but after that he's kinda just stopped eating he will take pinkies sometimes but and ate some boiled egg but never as much as I expected I'm getting ready to leave work now and he's back burrowed again it seems he only come out bout a hour or so a day and if I'm there I can catch him and try and socialize (I don't mean actually grab and catch lol) maybe he's still stressed? I haven't given him a soak but I keep his tank misted well and keep humidity at about 70% with a 105-125 basking temp depending on the time of day (need to get a stronger bulb I think) is he being typical or should I be worried? I kinda don't want him to hibernate lol but maybe he's getting ready for that?

I've noticed a lot of people saying their tegus are slowing down. Even mine around here are doing the same..including two babies I'm holding. Early hibernation???

I'm really hoping not I'm hoping its still stress! You sent him to me fat but idk if I can handle hibernation I'd be freaking out on if he's still alive or not :(

Donatello just started eating well and it's been a couple weeks. You read all my freak outs over it in several places I'm sure

Yea kym I did!!!

Well Kirby ate almost half a boiled egg and one pinkie mouse also he was wanting out to roam around so I set my hand into his cage a set it there he walked around it a few time smelling me before climbing into my hand and staying still I lifted him out and we went into the closet where I let him free roam then after about 30 mins (not wanting to stress him out) he got a bath and then got fed he's seeming more active and way more social now

Well we are having a good day he's eaten is out and I think the pillow case I put in the cage helped a ton! Now we are in the closet free roaming and he's not shy at all
