This is all very fascinating. Reptiles are usually thought of as purely instinctual predators. In most cases I would agree that's true (snakes) and say that's why you can never completely trust them. But tegus and certain other lizards definitely show signs of higher levels of intelligence, or...
Now that I've had my EG tegu for over a week I've started noticing some interesting behavior. First off, she has yet to use the bathroom in her enclosure. She has crapped four times that I know of so far (and I assume I'd know if she went in her cage when I wasn't around because of that...
Good idea Bobby! No sense helping someone swindle other people out of their money. Too much of that crap going around in this hobby as it is.
Thanks for the info. Coming from you, I'd say that's as good as gold.
I'm glad to hear it usually goes smoothly! It's gotta be better than my last nearly disastrous attempt at breeding milksnakes. Almost ended up with a fat female and no male.
By the way, though my big girl needs one more season before she's ready, I'll be on the lookout for someone with a lonely adult male who may want to try for a breeding loan situation. I would love to just buy a male for her but with their price and my teacher salary I'm not sure how well I could...
I try to have a variety of reptiles and other critters in my classroom for educational purposes. The tegu is, for the time being, certainly the most impressive. My other gem is a young male eastern indigo snake that was donated to me by Matthew Rand. I don't know if I have any students who...
Thank you for the compliments. All of them should be directed at the people who raised her: Jamie and Jeff Hough of Valley Dragons. They bought her from Bobby Hill a couple of years ago and have obviously devoted a lot of time and effort into raising a beautiful, well adjusted tegu, even if...
Hi everyone. I've already posted in another forum but wanted to formally introduce myself now that I've entered the world of tegus. I recently acquired what turns out to be a probable female Extreme Giant that had originally been purchased directly from Bobby Hill. The lady who gave her to me...
Now let me take a moment to take my foot out of my mouth and say that I'm not totally helpless and just read some things Bobby posted on how to tell Extremes apart from normals.
Amazing. The lady who gave her to me said you told her it was probably a male but I've heard it's tough to sex young ones. I had my suspicions that it was a female based on seeing some videos of males that were big and jowly. That's a good thing though! The only thing that sucks is that I'm...
Howdy folks. I'm very glad to have found this forum. I came into possession of a young adult male Argentine B&W tegu a few days ago to use as an educational animal. I teach biology and anatomy and keep a wide array of critters in the classroom. Even though it's the end of the school year, the...
