New Columbian

Hey Everyone!

So we just added a new addition to the family a Colombian we named Igor.
We've had him for about three weeks now and he has been doing really well aside from the occasional digestive issues but we took him to the vet and everything checked out and so far he hasn't had anymore problems. He's rather picky but he loves his eggs and chicken and when he's in the mood for it turkey. Not sure how old he is but he's about 12inches long so still a little guy. Just these past few days he's had a really bad "attitude" he refuses to be picked up and has being huffing a lot. Was wondering if anyone had any advice and whether or not this is just him getting really comfortable now and just showing his Colombian attitude. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you
Allie

Welcome to the site :) and congrats on the new gu. As they settle in a little attitude should be expected sometimes more so with colombians. With time and handling they do come around and can be just as relaxed around people and being handled just like the other tegus.

If you haven't already take some time to read up on other threads especially the tegu articles section. The first thread in that section is a food list but the search engine at the top right corner comes in handy as well.
