Everyone Who Got Baby Tegus This Year

[Logie_Bear]

I was looking at Esmeralda the other day and was just floored by how much she's grown already. I've loved watching all the new tegu threads, so I thought it'd be fun to see some growth rate pics! If you're like me I'm sure you took a pic the day you got your baby, so here's how I'd like this thread to go:

Post a 1st day you brought your gu home pic, and then post a 'as-of now' pic. Be sure to say how many days have transpired between pic1 and pic2

So, I'll start:

Here's Ezzy fresh out of the box on 8/7

And here she is on 9/7

Now post yours!

I would post picture of blue... But he didnt grow much lol.. His skin is actually getting a bit dull, so i think his first shed might be coming up...

 

[HeatherN]

i feel like tarot is growing slower than everyone else, but he gets all his supplements and uvb. hmmmm

 

[Logie_Bear]

HeatherN-

I dont know about slow growth. Tarot looks nearly identical to Esmeralda these days in both growth rate and colors. Do you have a size measurement on him?

aambumann -

If you do a full reply, you can also click on the little photo pic that opens a URL link to add your pic into the post that way (i use imageshack for my uploads, usually)

Both your babies are looking great tho. Lets see some more folks posting theirs! <3

I believe he was around 11 inches when I got him, and he is about 18.5 inches now

Shadow when he arrived around 7 inches, 7/25/12.

About six weeks, 23 inches, 9/6/12.

No good object for size reference unfortunately. However both pictures are in the same location in the same enclosure so roughly equal scaling.

sorry testing

Holy cow, are you sure that's the same lizard! I'm a little jealous your got shadow when he was so little! Ezzy's green was a shed away from being gone by the time I got her. The difference on shadow is astounding!

Are you trying to upload the photos straight from your computer/device?
If you try uploading to a site like photobucket or image shack first, then linking that into your comment, I believe it will automatically show up the larger size.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here. :x

I realize they all grow at different rates. I am not sure what is normal for feeding at this age, but I was originally feeding Shadow twice a day. He will eat 3 times a day given the chance, so if my schedule allows I run home for lunch and feed him. It doesn't matter how attractive the food type is for him, as soon as he is full he turns his head and closes his eyes if offered more.

I am not sure if Shadow is lazy or if it is a byproduct of tong feeding but he really does not eat anywhere near as much if left to find it in his food dish. If not fed enough he makes it clear by tearing up his enclosure, digging everything up. Also if he is hungry it seems to mess with his schedule, he will stay up late to get fed, eat quickly and then rush underground to sleep.

I measured Ezzy this morning. She shed today, and from snout to the very tip of her tail just barely hits 17in. So she's tied with Tarot.

i thought ezzy is younger than tarot though, is she?
