My Beetlejuice is growing fast! Last Tuesday he was 41g. Today, he's 53g (that's before he ate and just after a poop).
He's already starting to lose his green! Kinda bummed about that, but he's turning into his nice cream color.
How about your guys' giants?
EDIT: his first pinkie

Same here. He goes crazy for mice, gizzards, roaches, and crickets. He's only showed interest in the turkey/liver mixture a couple times.

Looking good! I'll post a pic or two of the BEAST that is "Aesop" later today. He's over 19 inches and pounding mice, ground turkey, and chicken hearts/gizzards with GUSTO!!! He's a Blizard/Sugar baby as well.

Here's an updated shot of Boon(blizard x sugar baby)
Here's Quasi, aka Mr. Paranoid(normal b&w). Whenever Boon is at the food Quasi won't eat there with him, he'll snag a piece and run to the other side of enclosure before wolfing it down. Boon just stares at him like he's crazy..

Here's a picture of Aesop that was taken about 5 days ago. That's an 11 inch piece of paper for size-reference. He measured in at 18+ inches when the photo was taken. I'm SURE he's grown since then, considering how much he's eaten. His diet is mainly ground turkey, mice, and chicken hearts/gizzards. He's in the middle of his 5th ( I think, if I remember correctly) shed. It's really hard to believe it's only been 4 weeks since that tiny little guy came into our home.
Fortunately, he's really tame (he does still try to run when I go to remove him from his enclosure, but is a puppy after that).
I'm really happy I decided to take the plunge and go all the way with an extreme...best reptile decision I've ever made, hands down!

Here are some pics of Aesop from last night. My fiancee managed to muster up the courage to get all nice and close with the "good" camera (ie: NOT my cell phone camera!). Aesop is from this year's Blizard/Sugar clutch and I've had him (Bobby chose what he thinks is a male) since the original ship day (4 weeks, 2 days).
Aes next to a 12in. ruler:
Kinda cool headshot:
Hanging out on his log/hide:
Just a B.A. tegu...:
Thanks for looking!

Very true...
I really wish there was a way to manipulate the factors that cause them to hibernate so that they wouldn't. I'm guessing Mother Nature knows better than I do, though, when it comes to what these guys need to not just survive, but thrive.
It always piques my interest when I see someone post on here with a tegu that DIDN'T hibernate--but, it never seems like the keepers do anything special or significant that keeps their tegus from going down for the winter.

none of my tegus ever wanted to hibernate(not sure why) i live in chicago so i figured with the cold weather they would but they didnt and the crazy part is nero didnt even brumate and it was getting at least in the 40*'s at night i have no idea what makes a tegu not want to hibernate at least the others fake hibernated for a few weeks but not her.

See...that's what I'm talking about. There's gotta be some sort of trigger (or combination of triggers) that induce hibernation. Well, there doesn't necessarily "gotta be", but I really want to believe there is, ya know? Hah!

Alright, Party-People!!!
Let's see some updated pics of this year's extremes!!! I'll be taking some either tonight or tomorrow when my fiancee gets back from Oregon with the "good" camera.
I measured Aesop last night and he's up to around 23-24 inches and almost as big around as a soda can--NUTS!!! He's so freakin' tame too. I sure hope that lasts!
