2 yr old male argentine b/w tegu

[Rhetoric]

Male (gary) , hatched 2009 (do not know exact date). Roughly 3ft long and 5lbs. He is a little timid at times, he would do best with an experienced owner. Handled frequently but every now and then he seems to be easily startled when free roaming. He doesn't seem to enjoy being held for long periods of time. He's fine being touched when out and about. When it comes to being taken out, I let him come to me vs reaching in and he's fine. Not aggressive, just squirmy. I'm not sure if he will ever be 'dog tame', he may or may not be with work. He asserts his dominance over one of my males but hides from the other, not sure how he would be with other tegus when roaming.
Some of you may have seen the post with his weird lip, he has been fine since this incident. I am willing to get him vet checked if you are seriously interested. I'm not in a hurry to find him a new home. I will add new pictures tomorrow when he wakes up, there are some floating around on the forum, this tegu is 'gary'. He's also the tegu in my avatar. He's got all of his toes, all of his tail. I haven't decided what I'm asking for him, I'm more worried about him finding a good home than making a profit. My zip is 97008 if you want to look up shipping. Depending on the weather. I cannot accept reptile trades at this time. PM me if interested. Thanks for looking.

Also, I haven't shipped before so please bear with me lol. It doesn't sem too complicated but I will want to be confident before he is shipped.

Here are the pictures. All are from today except the close up of his back, I wasn't sure if anyone cared about pattern.. :huh:

There are quite a few, I was hoping to get everything lol. I can take more of specific parts. The first picture is the side of his face that had the weird lip, as you can see, all is well.

Here are the rest, enjoy!

I think you can see a spur in this picture..

I know a lot of people try finding zoos or what not to take them in. they they can be used for education and are given good care. Sorry that your looking to rehome.

 

[Rhetoric]

startled semi-easily.

of course after mentioning his occasional flighty-ness hes been fine all day. go figure huh? lol

 

[Rhetoric]

He's going to House of Reptiles sometime this weekend. Thanks everyone.

 

[Rhetoric]

and hes back up for sale/trade/re-homing, I'd be willing to trade for feeder rats if someone wants to try and make that work.

He's beautiful. If I could afford an argentine I'd buy him

 

[Neeko]

I imagine shipping would be a lot other wise I d give him a home.

 

[Rhetoric]

It depends on what company is used. USPS is a lot cheaper than shipyourreptiles.com but I've read that some people have had bad experiences with USPS. I haven't used either company, I would be open to any shipping company but I would want to make sure I've researched it before hand lol.

 

[Neeko]

Bobby does usps and he told me fedx is bad and another one.

 

[Rhetoric]

yeah honestly id go with usps unless someone objected. its cheaper lol. i think the 'bad reviews' were just things like timing and condition of the box when delivered, little things.

 

[Neeko]

As long as he finds a good home and you have peace of mind.

I would love to take him in but It'd be forever before I move it seems and I don't want to upset him putting him in with storm and rayne, if he's still availibe in a few weeks I might give it a shot

 

[Rhetoric]

He might be. I'm kind of picky about who I'd let him go to lol. I pulled him off fauna after seeing a female kept in an aquarium that looked like it had garbage in it... I don't want that to happen to this guy!

 

[Joshjack90]

I would love to have him!!!!

I dont think you can ship live animals through USPS.
