Sweet! Are those white spots on his head and neck pattern spots or are they scars? Either way, sweet gu!

Hi,.. :-D Welcome to the site,..glad to have you and Congratulations on the new Gu.

Did you get much background info when you got her?
She looks like she's been through a lot and her pattern reminds me of a Blue tegu with a much darker head. But I still see Blue Tegu markings on both her body and her head.

Thats what i was thinking too. Shes really small shes only 2 feet 7 inches. Shes also a proven breeder so she must have reached maturity. Ill put her in a bath tub later today and see what color she really is, shes pretty dirty from digging.

montana- Ive kept monitors for the past 2 years and then a couple months ago, I had to sell them all to help pay for my moms cancer. A month or so ago i caame across an article about tegus and i became really fascinated and I have been wanting to get a tegu ever since. Its her first day here, and shes already nicer than all the monitors ive had haha.

slideaboot- They are scars, her previous owner obviously put the lights to low. I was told there from breeding but she has scars in places that the male could not have grabbed like the tip of her head. Im guessing shes gonna have a hard time shedding that spot so when she does, im gonna make a compress out of paper towel and warm water and put it on her scars.

Sorry about your mom ...hope she is on the mend ..

You could try some of your moms face cream on the scars if they are not to raw ..

Im glad you found a new friend !!
