Here to Talk the TeguTalk!

[Mamasaurus]

Hey all, I'm Ashley. AKA: Mamasaurus. I am a vet tech, from PA, a scale, fur, and human mama lol. Animals are my passion and especially the misunderstood ones. Currently just have two scale babies. I have one Citrus Bearded Dragon whose growth was stunted as a babe. Her name is Tiger Lily and she is about 2 1/2; had her since she was about a year. My new addition is my B&W Argentine Tegu named Toothless who I got from a rescue in Florida. Had him about two months and if you're in the market I would suggest doing the same since. They're being killed on site down there now and tbh he is just as gentle, if not more so, than a lot of the "captive bred" ones you'd get. I also have two dogs (one is a tripawd), and three monsters. I mean kids. Yeah, kids. I've owned all kinds of critters in my life but that's what I have cooking currently. Glad to be here, to share info, and learn some too!

Hey! Welcome to the forum...you'll get a lot of good info here. I have a 2 yr old rescue from Rodney that turned out to be a very big boy (Had him for a year) - his name is Skully. I just got another baby from Rodney about 2 weeks ago, and named her Captain (4 months old). I love these animals - I'm glad we have Rodney working out there trying to save as many as possible. If they were just a little smaller..... I could own 10! I just lost one of my beardies.....still mourning her perfect nature, and I have a male beardie named Jabba. Raised 4 monsters - commonly referred to as "my DingDongKids". They are all in their 30's now, but I don't let up. I try to be a constant source of humiliation for them.

I'm really sorry about the loss of your beardie. I'm sure you did great with them.

Thanks - the sadness doesn't go away all that quickly....right? She was a leatherback, and she just died in brumation - no sign of anything weird.
What a sweet animal.
