Has anyone ever heard of a red and black tegu? I'm assuming the current owner is calling it that because it seems to have some red on its back. What really is annoying is how much he wants for it and how poorly he has kept it. He says it's in a 4x2x1, and didn't answer me as to what he feeds it, what type of lights, etc. He wants 500 for it, the cage and accessories. Also you can tell he hasn't handled it much due to the fact that he sent me an email stating it will hiss at him and whip him with its tail. Here's a copy of the email, and a link.
