Thanks everyone. Josh, thank you for all your support and info. I can always count on that and its direly needed. You've made a big difference in our lives. And ricky, although you are beyond harsh to the point of almost being not helpful. [You go on so critically and obsessively on your way, right or not, you don't offer alternatives... without alternatives there is nothing... something that is not optimal or something that is terrible. Remember being right is only "half" of education. Without tact and alternatives, you loose people all together and then the animals suffer. I know you are a dude, (guys are less than tactful), and I know you are passionate about these animals getting the best ... so it wasnt' wasted on me specifically. But believe me on most newbies? It would be and thats sad cause you are a wealth of information.] You still helped and I'm grateful. and thank you for educating those getting involved with tegus.

She should be settled into her permanent enclosure sat. At which point, I'll be looking into more whole prey than I am doing. I found a reliable place to get mice from.... where are affordable and reliable places to get other whole prey from? Once we recoup from all the unexpected costs (which were more than double than I researched for almost a year), then I can think seriously about whole prey. I still want to offer mixed meats, eggs, etc once a week. Won't go into reasons why, because I don't want to argue or get anyone upset. I'd be nice if she went back to a 6 day a week eating as when I first got her (because I'll feel like shes working harder on growing). I don't know if shes going every other day because of age (she is nearing 1 1/2 as far as I know ... I dont know her exact age, just what the breeder told me), because of the many weeks of upset and transitioning in her temp situation waiting on the enclosure or if its because shes chosen to do so.
