My tegu is smarter than my dog.

[tora]

So I fed my tegu in her enclosure today because I had a LOT to do and couldn't supervise her. I don't just want to leave her in a bathtub for any longer than needed. Anyway, I get back home and take out what she didn't eat and continued my day. I finally am able to sit down at like 9:30, and I notice she is still out and about even though she's normally long asleep before her lights go out (9). I stare at her for a minute, and think, maybe she has to poo? She looked fat. So I take her out, put her in the tub, and turn on the water. Within a few seconds she goes! I can't even get my dog to go to the bathroom in the right place, and she doesn't even have to hold it. XD

Lol ikr, it took what seems like forever to house train my dog(and he still had accidents in the house) my mom was super amazed that my tegus nero and gozar would hold it til they got outside lol, they really put the poor dog to shame, even rayne will scratch to get out now, when she has to go, storm just holds it lol

I take Tonka upstairs every morning to go poop. Chevy my extreme was the first to want to come out so I tried to run up the stairs with him to get him to the tub we never make it he is so afraid still when I pick him up he usually soaks me in pee. Needless to say we did not make it when I came down the stairs Tonka was sitting at the bottom waiting for his turn. Icold not believe it.

Link is mostly potty trained at this point. (we do have some accidents, but not often thankfully) I've never seen him go potty in any of the places that he sleeps/hangs out in. He surprised me one day when he was free roaming and wandered into the bathroom, and took a big crap under the bathtub (we've got a claw foot tub) apparently since he can't get into the bathtub, he's decided under it is just fine. Fine by me, there's no risk of me stepping in it! XD
