Purple tegu

@ Batgirl1. To answer the question you pm'd me, no, I do not believe that feeding a red tegu massive amounts of blue food coloring will result in a bright purple tegu. I answered it here because iiLOVExTEGUS was asking the same thing.

Omg...haha. but what about my inquiry about cross breeding tegus with european fruit bats to produce dragons? Considering the wingspan of some I understand they may not ever get the 'lift ' required to actually fly, but one cam always dream...

First of all, for someone who rehabbed bats, you know nothing of bats, dragons, or genetics. Any school kid can tell you that to make a dragon, you need to cross a Malayan Flying Fox with a tegu or monitor. Crossing with a Black Tree Monitor makes the best dragon because of the light build, small size, and aboreal nature of the tree monitor. Btw, I NEED a fruit bat. [attachment=6496][attachment=6495]

It is genetically possible. Just look at the cabbit and jackalope.

No no.... don't give up! Can you wear gloves and just sit on the floor with him and just let him walk around on you? Have you done this a lot already and what is his reaction to you/your hands?

Wash your hands with unscented soap. Not some fruity smelling fancy soap. You don't want your hands smelling like food. Even my hedgehogs will chew on your fingers if they smell tasty.

Damn, then I'll never be able to hold the hedgehog we buy from you dubya! Since i ALWAYS smell tasty! Haha. :p

I'm wondering what you can do to encourage the tegu to not be so agitated when being handled
... even my cuban knights anole which is a meany can be held with gloves and calms down after a bit. He doesn't LIKE it...but does stop puffing up and mouth gaping.

We have two females. Chloe and daisy. Chloe has a muted raccoon mask and gray and white body. Daisy has more white. White face with no mask. And her body is lighter but still some gray on it.
