I'm so glad to have TeguTalk as an awesome resource as I start my journey with my new tegu! I just acquired my first tegu on Sunday, this handsome red gal/guy pictured below. No name yet, I'm still trying to figure out what suits him/her.

A little about myself and the rest of our animals: I'm from Middle Tennessee. I'm a LVMT and I train dogs and serve as the animal adviser for a small educational zoo. Other than that, I just stay at home and take care of our son, pets, and our reptile collection. Below is a list of our modest collection, just to give you an idea of what we keep and breed. I have been interested in getting a tegu for some time now, I'm thrilled to have finally picked one up!

Oh my gosh he's stunning. I especially love the fact and round eyes. So sweet. Is your tegu a boy or girl? Where did you get it? I live in Chatt tn btw. And for me, I actually like this board more than some of the more active FB sources. It's just much easier going and open minded. People work with you here gently. Very cool.

Thank you both for your welcome!

Rebecca, I haven't been able to sex the little guy. I got him from a reseller in a trade. I'd been dying for a nice red tegu! It's nice to meet more local herpers!
