    New baby tegu does not use hind legs. Advice please

    At the moment I don't have an enclosure for an adult. I just spent over $100 getting a set-up for a baby. It would cost me about $100 for gas round trip (Seattle is a six-hour trip one way for me) plus more for a motel room for the night, and then the guy on craigslist wants a $350 rehoming...

    Yeah the seller was really good about it. As soon as he heard she was having the problems with her legs and it was not getting better, he refunded my money.

    Thanks for pointing out the tegu on Craigslist to me, he looks like a nice guy. I forgot to mention, I'm in Spokane on the east side of Washington (sadly not close to anything interesting.) So it would be a long boring 6 hour drive just to take a look at that guy. I'm really hoping to get a baby...

    Import or not does not really matter to me as long as I can get one as a baby and it's healthy. Also what does CBB mean? Something about breeding I'm guessing.

    Buying my first tegu. Anyone know anything about First Choice Reptiles?

    I've been doing a lot of research on tegus for awhile now and looking for a good place to purchase one, and I saw on kingsnake.com First Choice Reptiles has some new babies available. I would really like to get one, but I wanted to know if anyone here has dealt with them before. If there is a...

    Enclosures

    That looks really nice! Did you build it? If so, could you tell me what all you used to make it (like the lights, heating, and vents)?Also could you post some more pictures? I'm interested in getting a tegu, but I want to build the enclosure and have it all set up beforehand. Thanks
