Wow! Nice find...

Def take more pics :-D

 

[The captain]

Well, you asked for it!

watering hole

cool side

hot side

Note, i found the ceramic pot makes a GREAT hide on the warm side, he loves hiding under it once it warms up! He needs a bigger one now though lol.

Does he look ok for an '08? he may be a little small, but the growth is there for sure.

Thanks for looking.

 

[lazyjr52]

Thats a heck of a set up you have there.

My '08 ryu is about the same size as your's. He's def been growing. I have a feeling that once he comes out of burmation hes going to grow like a weed. My other gu nami grew in this same way.

 

[The captain]

Thanks for the compliment. It seems that monitor keepers have the most insane beautiful setups, and tegu keepers kind of just want to get the job done!

I think this should get the job done until he is ready for the big big big boaphile.
From the wikipedia definition of "brumation" i would say bean is exhibiting the process. He eats less, drinks more, and sits around even more than usual lol.

For a while i was concerned he may have MBD, but im thinking that tegus just dont walk very gracefully. I keep him under a mvb and a flourescent that is high up, but i dont dust his food. He gets 1 scrambled egg a week, 2 fuzzies, and the rest is turkey/liver mixup.

I see people posting huge tegus that are 2 years old and saying they are stunted, so i worried bean may not have grown enough, but if you say your giant is looking similar then that may be the standard.

 

[VenomVipe]

awesome!

 

[Richard21]

Do you still think he doesnt have the colors of other giants? I think he looks amazing.

 

[VARNYARD]

Nice cage, and Mr Bean is looking great, nice Giant baby.

 

[The captain]

Thanks! he looks pretty good. His head is all brown, and doesnt have nice white saddles on his back. Nothing like beasty's tegu, otherwise i would have won the contest.

Thanks for the compliment. He is a family favorite!

 

[The captain]

Oh hey bobby! good to see you are posting again!

Do you think he is an ok size for his age?

 

[VARNYARD]

I do not know about saddles, but he is 110% Giant. Look at the washing I noted many times about the giants, it looks like the black is washed in bleach:

 

[VARNYARD]

I think he looks fine, and thanks for the welcome back.

 

[The captain]

Oh yeah, i dont doubt that he is 100 percent giant anymore. He is a great tegu. Just i guess his head wont turn white. its still brownish. Anyways, im hoping it turns out male.

Mine has the same brownish head. But it's werid cause whenenver I take him out in the sun it starts to lighten up and almost is completely white.

 

[VenomVipe]

Maybe the brown is just a darker cream....
