    GILGAMESH - my summary of tegu ownership thus far

    I moved Gilgamesh to his "adult" enclosure. I converted a 6x8 closet into a tegu room. He has a basking area with fresh Reptisun 10.0 bulbs and all his other amenities. He loves to eat, as you can see by the photo. My wife and I have been handling him every day and he shows no signs of...

    GILGAMESH - my summary of tegu ownership thus far

    UPDATE: Growing really fast. Eating tons of food. His tail healed back pink (at first) and has almost completely turned black. My wife and I have been handling him a ton and he seems to enjoy it. Whenever I put my hand in the cage and he just runs up my arm and hangs out. He is shaping up to be...

    Lost Colombian Tegu

    A friend of mine had a small ball python loose in the house for months... you could see tracks in the dust on the floor. They finally caught him in the corner of the warmest room in the house. You could try warming up a particular room to see if you can get it to move that direction. Good...

    Weird droppings

    I guess it just scared me because it was a TON of urates. There is usually just a little at the end, but this time there was that huge long piece.

    Weird droppings

    I found this on Gilly's food dish today. Not sure what it is. It doesn't really look like a sperm plug... and I don't think he is old enough to be doing that. Sorry for the gross picture, I just can't figure out if it is just urates or something to be concerned about. Thanks in advance.

    GILGAMESH - my summary of tegu ownership thus far

    Latest mishap I was sitting outside yesterday (with Gilgamesh) just soaking up some rays. I had him on my lap and then he decided to sit next to me in the grass. Something spooked him and he TOOK OFF. He definitely can run faster than I can. We had a classic roadrunner vs. coyote moment and...

    Still Down, trying some food

    Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted on here. My tegu has been flat passed out for months. :( Anyway, I pulled out Gilgamesh today just to make sure he is still alive... Groggy as usual, he was just walking around hanging out. He looks a little skinny. I want him to wake up and be active...

    Hibernation Poll

    My hatch-ling Gil, is totally out. I pull him out every few days and offer him a pinky or two. I occasionally find "tail trails" in the substrate, proving that he walked over to the basking rock at some point, but that only happens every few days. He is very calm (possibly groggy) when I pull...

    Biggins Thread

    Wow. I wonder what he will max out at. Should only be another month or two. ROFL Awesome tegu. Mine is about 3 months and 1/3 the size.

    Great news ( about getting money from Bobby )

    I feel like I was scammed. Bobby told me he would send me a full refund in the mail, so I closed my PayPal dispute. I waited 3 weeks before further pursuing my claim. The check never came... he lied. lying = scam. Simple as that.

    GILGAMESH - my summary of tegu ownership thus far

    UPDATE: Gilgamesh is growing every day. His tail is fatter and just in general bulkier. He still :heart: s pinky mice like no other. He just buries the other foods I try to give him. I am sure he will get used to other foods eventually. I know he gets out of his hide during the day, because I...

    Finalllyyyyyy!

    I think it is extra, but he charges a flat rate. As I was typing this, I saw Gil get up to lay under his light... he looks groggy lol. Also, he is a fine example of what to expect from Teguterra.

    Finalllyyyyyy!

    He did the same thing to me. That it called a scam. Regardless of the good intentions from the start, if you dispute a PayPal transaction and the vendor calls and tells your to close it and they will send you a check.... DON'T PayPal clearly says to only close a dispute once you have the...
