New Red Tegu

[Little Wise Owl]

I just picked up Lucy from a local tegu owner today.

I'm in love She has a great personality even though she is a bit shy and jumpy.

The pictures aren't too good because my iPhone was being a jerk and I didn't want to bug her too much.

She's in shed right now.

Looks very healthy! I'm jealous, I've been wanting a red since last summer. Is this your first one? I'm sure it varies depending on the specific animal but I've heard/read that the red tegus tend to be a bit more shy than the black and whites. Congrats and have fun with her! Any idea of an age range?

She is my first and she is very shy. I don't mind though.

She is almost a year now, I believe. She hibernated for a good chunk of the year last year so never really grew much.
