Took Ally for a walk in the park today.

She's almost completed her shed.

If you look closely at her rear leg, you can see some shedding occuring, as well as her tail.

She was dragging her hands across the sidewalk after this pic, ridding herself of some loose skin on her toes. Was quite amusing to see her cruising along dragging her claws upside-down.

Also, in a interesting twist of fate...I stopped by our local reptile shop here in Colorado Springs to check on a Colombian tegu they've had for sale for some time now. The owner let me hold him right before I got the babies from LLLreptile.com. I absolutely thought he was kick ass.

Apparently, he's had a rough go of it.

The first owner gave him back to the shop because they said he was too aggressive.
The second owner turned him back in because he was too big and ate too much.
The third, potential owner, had a deposit on him and backed out last week.

So, yesterday, he found himself a new home with us.

He's in great shape, amazing coloration (black and white patterning - with some tan on his head and jowls along with whitish, almost clear nails)

He's extremely calm, so I'm a little suspect of the first owners assessment of his temperament. The guys down at the store were frequently picking him up and chillin' with him during work hours so he's totally used to being handled. He's really mellow.

Before buying him, the guys let us hand feed him 5 roaches outside of his cage.

He laid on my arm for 30 min last night and almost as long earlier today for his photo shoot.

Now if I can just find Zoomie.

Here's Tai:
