Hey everyone, I'm new to these forums but some of you may know me through rtb.net.
Just wanted to share my columbian tegu story with you
I got lil teg the day before he was sceduled to be put down, he was extremely malnurished, suffering from MBD and could not eat on his own... he was just too weak. It took a LOT of work and dedication, for the full story along with some of our speedbumps along the way you can visit my first thread about her here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.redtailboa.net/forums/tegus/43597-columbian-b-w-tegu-rescue.html">http://www.redtailboa.net/forums/tegus/ ... escue.html</a><!-- m -->
