even though i had a couple columbians when i was a teenager ;)

i picked up this lovely lad from a poor kid that was moving to a new apartment that didn't allow pets :( bad for him, great deal for me.

he got it from the east bay vivarium so it's probably a farmed Gu but he seems pretty healthy (great eater) and i'm very happy. he's missing 2 claws, one on each front foot but is otherwise very plump and happy.

here's a video of him eating an egg: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6GnhqSWIWU" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6GnhqSWIWU</a><!-- m -->

and here's a few pics of him eating some ground turkey:

thats great ! I think you will find that argentines are much nicer and easier to care for than columbians. Welcome!

well, my columbians were actually pretty nice! one of them escaped and lived in the wild for 3 months before i found her again and she didn't snap or wiggle at all when i finally found her again.

this guy has already charmed my housemates though... one is saying maybe she should get a tegu instead of a ferret :mrgreen:
