I'm new here, decided to sign up today with a PSA
Don't leave tegus in water unattended...
My red tegu drowned...
Prior to this, I had researched if it was safe to put tegus in a tub, and all the data I have come across stated they are excellent swimmers and they can hold their breath (and remain underwater) for a *very* long time
So, to get them nice and wet, I put them all in the tub...the swim float etc
Today, my red one, was submerged I thought it was holding it's breath, so I left it alone...
I went back and it was still under so I picked it up and it was limp...dead.
I'm angry, sad etc I have no idea how it could have happened
It looked so unique as well, not like most of the ones I have seen pictures of
