Hello!!

[Geckotopia]

So I am a very new Tegu owner, like just got him today new. He is just a little guy right now and I am soooo excited! I have a very successful crested gecko colony and I wanted something bigger..... I went really big.
His name is MiGusta, and he is so awesome. He is now however, sleeping. Since I got him at the San Diego super show this morning- I think he was a bit overwhelmed. I also know he may not be a "He" but the breeder said she often gets a feeling based on head shape, it's not an exact science but I'll take it, I can't call him "it"
I can't wait to get to know him better and talk with some Tegu pros here to make sure I have MiGusta on the right track!

Welcome! Thats a cute little gu! Im acctualy going to the show tomorrow. How is it this year?

 

[Thelegendofcharlie]

Seriously - Is anything cuter than a baby Tegu?
Besides a baby Penguin of course...

hey i loved that show, who'd you get him from?

Baby tegus are the cutest thing ever. Hes a great little guy. Welcome to the forum.

The show was good, it got crowded SUPER fast. I was one of the dorks lined up before it opened. I made sure to walk the whole show- then went back and purchased monsters. All three new babies from the show are doing great. MiGusta (who is chowing his breakfast like a rockstar right now) is great, I got him from Varanus, Inc. My male crested from Guyco Gecko is great- I've gotten them from him before and all are perfect. I also got a pacman, but I'm not sure who from....very healthy eater.

i loved my pacman, so entertaining to watch eat! last year i showed up to the show around lunch time and it was pretty well crowded, enough so that i didn't get to see some tables til the second lap. i never get to buy something from shows despite the overwhelming urge cuz I'm always low on funds and high on herps.

hello!

this website is a great place to discuss about tegu and other pets. I wish you the best with your new Gu and i am sure both of you having a good relationship together. Tegu is the best lizard in the world always!

I am loving my Gu, hes a total sweetie. We are starting right from the start with a schedule. This way he eats breakfast when I eat breakfast and we play and get lovin' after work. I've heard they can learn routines?

 

[dragonmetalhead]

Yeah they can. My tegu Kodo adjusted his schedule when he came to live with me and I was still working; instead or rising in the morning he would stay in his bed-spot until mid to late afternoon, knowing he would be fed early evening. Tegus are really smart, perceptive lizards.
