well aculy in the wiled this would hapen in a given area becus of how doninite one good jeen could be ... being biger bader better offspring have the best chance to live so females will seek out only the largest most dominint males to mate with much like other large reptiles ... so i think the gap would be just right but thats just my understanding of life/reptiles .

man if i could get tegus to breed up here in canada i could literally make a living off of it. regular black & white Sub-adults go for $400 a piece, hatchlings are worth even more. Pet stores would be lined up down the street to buy them

WOw this put my mind to ease. Bosco and Kiska have been going at it and I was worried it was too early in the season.

Good luck and hope they all hatch out healthy!

I cleaned up this post so I could put it back on the forum. If you felt something was deleted that was relevant, feel free to re-post.

No swearing please.

I don't see why whole posts were deleted, certain words could have been removed. But points made were relevant and should have stayed. If you call someone one out on the state of the animals you received from them months after the fact, even after praising them before hand. Then breeding them with those conditions, you should have to answer to that and provide proof. Which I didn't see.

Deleting it is like it never happened.

Sorry I'm kind of confused. I thought brumation was the reptilian equivelant to hibernation, just they have low levels of activity(brumation) instead of truely sleeping throughout the winter(hibernation). I always though that reptiles cannot actually hibernate.

I heard tegus must brumate there first year or they will never be able to reproduce, Is this true?

I'm sorry I am trying to learn all I can.

Off the subject but some reptiles do hibernate and tegus are one of them. Reds, B&W for months at a time more so than Blues and Colombians they usually just brumate.

Tegus can deff hibernate and most of them do if you let them and have them in proper conditions. They will also brumate and/or not react to winter time at all, its all up to the tegu. But yes, tegus can hibernate for up to 6 months out of the year

Agreed, however, that sort of discussion doesn't need to resort to name-calling or foul language. But I think it would be better served in the good guy / bad guy discussion threads. Personally, I believe that most people glance over threads and flame wars, but if there is a discussion ON said subject (or persons) they will remember it more than in say, a normal discussion thread.

I didn't see the whole discussion as I've not been as active as I was when I first got my gu's but I would assume that if it was deleted, then it was for good reason.

I agree if there was name calling, bad language or what ever then by all means delete that reprimand or what ever. But leave the relevant material. Unless there was something I missed I didn't see anything that called for all the posts to be deleted.

It just reminded me of the whole Bobby hoopla and those threads. I just don't get it.

Well you can be sure of one thing, if there are nefarious misdeeds in the animal community, especially the herp community, it will re-surface or come to re-illumination....because we all love to talk about our experiences :)
