Jumanji my new hatchling.

[Matthew Colella]

Unfortunately he lost his tail. Its growing in pretty quick. He LOVES crickets and super worms.

No such thing as firebelly but lookin good

No such thing as firebelly

I'd say the same for blues, Chacoans, etc., but it doesn't stop people from using those names.

Fire-belly is a newer term used by someone who I will leave nameless, but IMO its even more of a false term than blues, chacoans etc.

Isnt his florida wild caught?

 

[SnakeCharmr728]

If its from who Im thinking, then yes and visually appears to be a florida wc too by the tail regrowth and poor body condition.

Those firebellies sure are gorgeous!

He is from a breeder in Ohio. It might be hard to tell in those pictures, but he has orange under parts

Did you get him at a rep show in Cleveland? I just picked one up from there SundaySunday

 

[Matthew Colella]

My local pet store (they specialize in reptiles. They don't sell stuff like cats and dogs) got him at a reptile expo in Cleveland on Sunday. I saw him in the shop and instantly loved him. He loves being rubbed on the back of his neck. He eats about 1 1/2 super worms (without heads) and 9 crickets twice a day.

 

[Matthew Colella]

He seems really interested in red things (my camera is red and he walks right up to it.)

 

[SnakeCharmr728]

Said person sells wholesale to petshops. Im still betting its one of his florida wc's. The name is dead give away.

 

[Matthew Colella]

Is that generally a bad thing?

 

[davidson012003]

I picked up a red tegu hatchling on sunday at the Cleveland reptile show. She seems very calm when I have her out but really not eating. couple little bites and that's it. I think she is hibernation mode. They looked healthy besides you could tell they needed soaked in a bath. Their shed was all messed up and just coming off in little flakes.

Jumanji's tail has regrown ALOT.
