Picked up a new female black and white. She's rather shy but didn't show any signs of aggression. Ill be posting pics of her in a bit when she's more settled in. Ill be quarantining her but I plan on introducing her to Sobek in the future. She's underweight but appears to be a lot more black than white. Definitely not a colombian though! She's about a year and a half old. From a 2010 clutch and is definitely small for her age.[/i]

Stay tuned my fellow Tegu Talkers.

I need name suggestions too!

Isis could be a good one if you're wanting to keep an egyptian theme.

Isis it is. Definitely a good name! I'm in my car now driving home typing this on my blackberry so pics won't be posted until she's all settled!

Name changed to Bia, refers to the goddess of death and violence in Greek mythology. The name suits her very well.. Ha.

I'll post pics as soon as she's out. I took her to the vet yesterday, everything checks out. She's crazy, at the vendor, she was very tame, but maybe that was because she was in a small ass tank and drained. Here, she's snake tailing like a rattler, eating very well, and basking. After I fed her, she stopped the snake tailing, even accepted the food from tongs. She's underweight as crap, might as well be a rescue.

I had no time to take pics yesterday so let's hope she's up today.

She has calmed down significantly. I managed to feed her with tongs today instead of placing the plate in her enclosure and she did fine. She appears to be going through a bad shed so I've bathed her, with some shed ease in the water, and have the fogger running on longer than usual. She's gaining weight, which is good, and seems to be doing great. I'll have pics of her soon enough. I showed her to Sobek through a crate and he didn't seem to care about her much if at all.

Stay tuned.
