Mine just wants to sleep on his heat rock, then sleeps in his hide, kinda worrying me. I hope it's only stress at a young age, she has to be only 3 to 4 weeks old.

Niles is older...over 18 inches.and has recently been 'slowing down '.refusing food.just wants to be held, bask, or sleep in a burrow. I just figure is like my snakes who slow down feeding in winter?

Some Extremes finish out looking like normals and some normals end up looking like what people feel an Extreme is supossed to look like. It's a locality not a different breed all together. I've seen some real high white normals that have even fooled a trained eye into thinking it was an Extreme. As long as you guys are happy with them and they are healthy is all that matters. Although, I do understand you paid for an Extreme and want what you paid for but that's where trusting your breeder comes in. Funny though, mine looks just like yours and no one talked about it looking like a normal... Or about it being an import...

I don't understand the people on here sometimes lol

Remember, 90% of these forums out here are the bathroom walls of the world wide web. If something is written on it, someone will believe its true. Lol. Just gotta filter through the bull krap is all. It's like WWE and National Geographic all rolled into one. Lol! Entertaining and educational, what more could you ask for???

It's ridiculous how so true this is.

Congrats to those who got their tegus,.. give it some time and a few sheds to see how they turn out. Alot of hatchlings don't look like much until they start to shed, pattern changes and their colors brighten. Most of the pics bobby has posted comparing the two b&w or extreme are of bigger tegus. So give it some time before believing what you read and jumping to conclusions. Post new pics and or compare them later on.

I'm sure you've seen it posted on here I don't know how many times about how quickly they change and grow. No speculations or assumptions there,.. it's a fact as you'll soon see first hand.

She is in the process of shed I'm exited for her colors but there is one problem, she can't pic her self up with her back legs, she can push but not hold her body up... Hopefully she grows out of that when she is older.. If not ill love her just as much... Just makes me sad...

She can use them in a walking motion, but she has a problem climbing and holding her self up. Which is causing her to just lay in random places because she dosnt like to walk on them.
