    Tegu bites

    Oh, one other note: I have a pretty strong pain tolerance.... however, I try to avoid his bites like anyone else would, but I am not scared of them. It did not hurt bad enough for me to be too scared to touch him ever again. And I do feel that way about hamsters and will not touch or hold them...

    Tegu bites

    I have been bitten by mine, only twice. Once on the neck and once on the arm. The neck was my fault, because I knew it was coming but I was laying on the couch and he crawled up by my face and was smelling my face/neck like crazy (the way he ALWAYS does before he bites his food)... I knew it was...

    Frank the Argentine B&W

    Try microwaving the turkey just enough to warm it up and only semi-cook it... That really helped me and now he would probably eat it frozen if i stuck it on his plate Lol

    Frank the Argentine B&W

    Really? Yours is finicky? I am lucky, mine will wolf down fruit no problem. It does help to mix it in the turkey but even if i don't he will still eat it. The only thing he has ever refused was chicken liver and that was when he was a baby... he would probably eat it now. He has an insane...

    Frank the Argentine B&W

    Thanks everyone :) Yes, its turkey with really super juicy blueberries mixed in (my hands are stained purple as well) not eyeballs LOL. Although I may be curious if he would eat an eyeball.. I am sure he would he will eat just about anything! ^_^ As long as its not MY eyeballs I guess... hee hee

    Frank the Argentine B&W

    I am Megan and Frank is my Argentine Black and White Tegu. He is 36" nose to tail and I have had him since 12". I think he would be bigger if he did not hibernate this past winter. I am going to try and keep him from hibernating this year unless he really insists on it. He is my boy! He is very...

    ADVICE? Rescued columbian hatchling today

    I just got done with my little dude's morning feeding and I was very very pleased to see that for the first time since I have had him, he had a normal body girth. A nice plump well rounded little belly with no look of impaction or being underweight. He is coming along nicely and is now pooping...

    ADVICE? Rescued columbian hatchling today

    I have no idea. It was like that when the lady dropped him off, I just didn't realize it at the time. I noticed his hand looked a little funny immediately, but I thought it was just the way he was sitting. I didn't want to stress him out to much immediately, so I left it alone until the next...
