Hi everyone,

My name is John and I have been lurking for the last week or so, posted a couple times so far and figured I should introduce myself. I am a husband and father of two sons, one is almost 2 and they other is 1 month old. I also have a very full house of animals. 2 black labs, 3 cats, a bunny, some fish for my son, 2 bearded dragons, 2 uromastyx, 2 chinese water dragons, and a schneider skink. MY female bearded just laid her first fertile clutch and I am in the process of trading some of her eggs for my first argentine tegu. I have a little bit of experience with tegus. I had a columbian that I took in for mysister a few years ago. HE passed away this winter, due to a lighting issue while I was on vacation, and maybe some other underlying condition because of his limited diet (he would only eat raw egg yolks, I refused to give him the whites raw). I supplemented with vitamins and such. He looked really good all the time, and was suprisingly tame. I have put much thought into getting an argentine and have handled "my" tegu a few times already. This weekend I should be picking him up, I am very excited. Anyways thanks to everyone for putting all of this awesome information on tegus together, and for keeping the forum going.

I've met a couple of people on here from Bristol and a woman from another reptile forum!

Once in a while we bring a few of our critters to All Pets Club in Wallingford. We get some interesting reactions!! Most people have never seen a 3.5ft Cuban Rock Iguana or Red Tegu! We've run into Adam87 a couple of times.

Thanks for the warm welcome. The only herp related interaction I have had is at harris in wonderland. ITs in avon and I have purchased all of my reptiles from there and have gotten a ton of awesome advice on them. Last year he had a little reptile fair there and it was pretty awesome.

We've been to Harris In Wonderland a few times too. Adam is very good. I am a member of NERA (NEW England Reptile Association) and was at the meeting last July. We brought a bunch of our reptiles, including a Blue Tegu, a couple of Cuban Rock Iguana's, a Red Tegu, etc. I'm sure I talked to you, but don't remember who. We'll probably do the same thing this July. I should bring it up.
