Hey!

My name is Ashley and I'm brand new to the forum here. I currently don't have a Tegu yet but have been doing research for the past several months while thinking about getting one. I'm still a while from finally purchasing one as I want to meet a few adults in person so I can get a better understanding of what it's like living with one and actually see in person instead of just pictures online. I think I have my hopes set on a Blue Argentine but hey, you never know which one will find me!

A bit about me; I'm 28 years old and live in Utah with my fiancé. We currently have three dogs, a few cats, a bird, and Poison Dart Frogs. Truthfully birds are my number one love when it comes to animals but I am not yet in a position where I can build a whole indoor aviary for my kids so only have a Green Cheek right now. But since we've been together I've come to learn a lot about reptiles and have had a Tegu on my mind for over half a year now. I had a Bearded Dragon and a Ball Python as a teenager so I am not 100% brand new to reptile care and needs.

Glad I found this website though and I look forward to pestering everyone with a million questions. Just when I think I'm done researching, I come across even more I want to know.

Always good to have new owners. You'll like this site - knowledgeable respectful people. Don't forget to check out the guy that rescues B/W Argentine Tegus from Florida. His name is Rodney Irwin (TegusOnly) and after purchasing 2 of his rescues, I can vouch for their hardiness. I have a male and a female - they are absolutely beautiful. My male is large, and both are beautifully colored. Rodney is great at helping you with your needs (young, old etc.) His prices definitely beat the prices at stores. Either way....good luck!

Here are a couple current pics of my rescues from TegusOnly... Skully, the larger 2 yr old male, and Captain, the smaller female (almost a year old)
