I just bought my red tegu that I found on craigslist in Port Saint Lucie Fl where I am from. I fell in love with the first red tegu I got to hold that was at a local pet store in my area and have been looking for one ever since. He is about a year old and I bought him 3 days ago. He was very skiddish the first 2 days but my girlfriend held him for a few hours he really seemed to calm down and got comfortable a lot quicker then I expected him to. I have a black and white tegu that is about 2 months old so I think that it will work out well that when my red tegu outgrows the cage I just built him, it will be a good time for me to move my black and white tegu into there. If anyone has any advice on what I can do to help my new tegu adapt to its new environment and become more comfortable with me I would really appreciate it. Thanks. -Nick
