For everyone who has a Jam x Whitey Baby hatched on June 29

[Zilch]

Agreed, but on top of the smaller size they've got those petite heads and very little jowels. Maybe I've been looking at too many lizards, I'm starting to appreciate the difference in appearance between the genders, and the girls are actually starting to look like girls

 

[reptastic]

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

im the opposite lol i like the large lizard too but im more into males since they tend to be bigger thats why i requested a male but i m plannning on getting a female next season

I requested a male also, but honestly, I like the look of the fem's a little better. I've never been a fan of the huge lowels. The males heads are only slightly longer, even that varies between individuals. As far as the fem's being smaller... I think my Jango is a girl. :shock:

i think they mean adult size i had a pair of green iguanas a few years ago and the female was always larger than my male until they hit about 3y/o then the male shot past her i think sometimes females grow faster than males

This is my little boy.
He also is a baby of Jam and Whitey hatched out on June 29th.
His name is Urban (named after Keith Urban, my altime favorite singer, and my future husband watch out nicole kidman!)
He is kind of shy, but i expect him to be for a while until he gains my trust. He is very sweet otherwise though. Im not sure on his exact measurement, but im guessing he is around 22-23 inches or so.

My point was, Just because it's a female, doesn't necessarily mean she is going to be petite :lol: My last female was very big, as big as the male I got before her. She was much heavier though. My male was always more slender. He was a picky eater and she, well, ate like Jango. A 4 foot female Tegu is still a BIG lizard. I still think it's too early to tell if Jang's a male or female, but if his current growth rate keeps up, he could be 4' by Christmas. Plus, if I really wanted a very big lizard, I could have gotten another V. Salvator, but now that I have kids, I can't afford to feed one... :roll:

Well, Miss Cleo copped an attitude with me for the last couple of days.

She really took well to Beef Liver, and her tummy still looked full the next morning, and not wanting to overload her, I didn't feed that day.

So the next day, she got a boiled egg (lighter fare). She ate most of that. Then I tried a rat pup on her the next day. Annnnnnd NOTHING. So I warmed up some liver--and again that pretty little nose turned up.

Today I had to eggwash her meal with yolk before she'd eat a single bite! She lapped up yolk, stumbled across the liver I offered today and actually ate it!

What is her DEAL? She's never been picky before---and has never turned down a pup. Though this one was all like, white (no dark fur or anything) was it a visual thing?

She seems determined to let her brothers kick her arse growth wise.

Atilla can be a bit moody sometimes with the food too, as in he'll get into the bin and pace rather than eat the food, regardless of what I give him sometimes he just does not want to eat, however if I put the food back into his enclosure then place him back inside he'll eat twice his normal quantity... last night he ate 4 adult mice. He looked like a white spotted bowling ball laying under the lamp for hoooooooours before he submerged.

I hate resorting to putting food into his cage and I'll ALWAYS place him in the bin first, but sometimes it's the only way to get food into him. Not sure why this attitude started, but he seems just as happy to see me coming to take him out as he always did so I guess this is going to remain the routine for him,

Zero is like that as well he is really slow now adays only comes out every other day but when he comes out he eats little tid bits of stuff. But he does his little pissed walk abouts as i would call the. He walks up really high up on his feet and then starts looking around like hes looking for a fight. Lol maybe its just the way he is but i really like the way he looks when he does it.

He's really letting his siblings pass him up as well.

She tripods ALL the time in the feeding bin I have her in now. One day, I put her down with a rat pup in the living room (in the bin) and went to do some tidying in her cage, and JUST as I came back in the room no more than 3 mins later she launched over the side of the bin.

Now that she knows she can, I think I need a dif feed bin.

She's a butt. I know she's smart enough to know what the bin means. She gets in a mood and I have to tough love her.

Urban is a veryyyyy picky eater. just like Zilch does, I have to do the same exact thing. I take him out and put him in his feeding bin, he almost always refuses to eat. he did eat one hopper mouse yesterday in the bin, but that was the first time hes even eaten in the bin. I have to take his food out, and put it inside his enclosure then go back and get him and put him in, and he will almost always take it like that, but thats the only way to get food in that little belly of his.. I will never let him see me putting the food in there just to ensure that he doesent start associating me with food. I will get a measurement of him today and post it with a few new pics that i will take

 

[reptastic]

i know how you guys fell sorta lol while nero eats daily and most times alot he has been developing a bad attitude lately he is starting to huff and puff when i pick him up he even death rolled a few times while i was holding him gave me a few good scratches im just glad he hasnt tried to tail whip or bite me cause at his size im sure both would hurt badly he use to be so sweet i guess its back to the drawing board

 

[mis jaksin]

I just measured Brutus again today since he just shed again, and he is now alittle over 29". He eats quite a bit most days, but has been going to sleep around 3pm everyday. Doesn't seem to want to roam around very much, he'll come out and take a lap around the living room, then walk into his enclosure and chill.
