OK well zero ate today. He ate some ground beef and a small adult mouse. Then when he was done he lapped up the mouses blood.

Atilla is still eating daily, though not as much as he has been in the past few weeks. He might finally be succumbing to his winter nap, I was kind of hoping to avoid it, I still am actually, but I'm not going to hassle him, if he wants to eat I'll feed him, but if he goes down I'm gonna miss the little guy!

I was down in the basement today moving some stuff around. After about 5 min, Jango came out of his hide nd started thumping on the glass, wanting out. No slow down here.

Well that gives me some hope =P Maybe he's just having an off week... or maybe chicken gizzards are just really filling.

Can everybody do something for me?

Only post your Tegu's name in a response. I want to get a count and a record of names of all the siblings.

Jango slowed a little a few weeks ago. The weather was changing here, and the temp in my basement dropped a little until it got cool enough for the heater to run more often. Now that my basement (and his cage) is warmer, he's gotten much more active and his growth is starting to pick up again. He was down to a shed every 2 weeks, now he's back to a week to ten days.
Jango is now on chicken breast, chicken livers (his fave), ground turkey, FT mice, eggs, and of course, as many supers as he wants for dessert.

Atilla chowed down a bit last night. Took out a few spoonfulls of chicken and a couple gizzards, he was just slightly less inflated than a balloon, so I'm pretty happy. Hopefully the trend continues tonight, cause it's mice night and that's always a crowd favorite! He actually just finished shedding a few days ago, he was pretty irritable for a day or two afterwards but he seems to be back to his old self.

I've also moved him into a 4X2X2 enclosure on Friday so he might still be adjusting to the new joint!

Haha I requested males since I didn't want unexpected babies when I was planning to house them together... that's changed, so I'm hoping my blue turns out to be a girl. Gotta say, the males look awesome, but the girls are just... well... cute. :oops:

See, I like the whole large lizard thing, but I also like manageable! I like that ladies stay alittle smaller!
