    Animal Planet

    Fatal Attractions is garbage. What really turned me off to it was the episode where some guy drunk as **** and high on coke somehow managed to get killed by a 12 foot Burm. Don't get me wrong, a 12 foot Burm is strong but not strong enough that it should kill a full grown man. Then there was the...

    whats the best way to give some input to petco?

    The petsmart down the street from the shop where I work once tried to tell a customer that Iguanas needed no light at all and all they needed for temp was a "hot rock." I chimed in with a lengthy speech about the costs and care of maintaining an adult Ig and managed to talk the customer out of...

    Is this a colombian tegu?

    I've also been debating trying some finch eggs on the little guy. We typically just throw them away. Couldn't hurt him, could it? Also, i've been keeping reptiles and amphibians since before I can remember, and i'm 22 years old now. I've had just about everything from reticulated pythons to...

    Is this a colombian tegu?

    Well, we're getting our money back, but we're also sending the little guy back. I talked to the supplier on the phone and he gets all his "Argentine Black and Whites" imported from Colombia. I tried to explain the difference to him but i got the whole "i've been in business for 20 years I know...

    Is this a colombian tegu?

    Hopefully I can get him fattened up and one of our customers that's real into herps will take him home. I'm going to talk to all the other guys working at the shop to make sure he doesn't get sold to somebody without some type of lizard experience. I've got one particular customer in mind, guy...

    Is this a colombian tegu?

    Most likely we'll end up keeping it and getting credit from the supplier. That's what usually happens when this type of thing goes down. He's actually surprisingly calm, a little squirrely but he hasn't offered to bite yet. He tolerated being held better than I thought he would that's for sure...

    Is this a colombian tegu?

    Yeah, he's going to get a fecal done within the next couple of days. Like I said I have pretty much no experience with these guys, but I knew he was sinfully thin from the second we opened the shipment. I put him in a feeding container and he annihilated a load of crickets, i'm going to offer...

    Is this a colombian tegu?

    I work at a pet shop, I know virtually nothing about tegus, i'm mostly into snakes. This guy came in on our order as a captive born aregentine black and white, but from the price we paid for him im inclined to think he is a WC colombian. Just kind of wanting someone to clarify this for me...
