    Are reptile owners more or less empathetic than a typical person?

    I scored a 51! This is interesting because a coworker of mine tried telling me we are inhumane for having anything that has to be kept in a tank..and I let him have it because thats just silly.

    New - Soon to be - Tegu Owner

    Yikes, so..I showed him the thread (https://www.tegutalk.com/threads/how-to-determine-the-sexual-of-sub-adult-tegu.9934/) apparently, because the posts are 10 years old he wouldn't count it as credible and says you can not tell 100% just by viewing......

    New - Soon to be - Tegu Owner

    He is coming from tyslizards.com @typherp on instagram (Punta Gorda, Florida). I am actually thinking of sending him a thread I found on here on sexing because he's recently been informing people who are interested in purchasing that he can not guarantee the sex of hatchlings and I've been...
