lol, i kept bart cause i figured one day she'd ask for him back. he really is a good boy. sheila however i'm still noticing fallout from, looks like bart wasn't completely free of her less than subtle attentions after all. what i thought were small kinks in his regrown tail due to my irresponsibility and empty wallet not meeting humidity requirements were actually bite marks from sheila! she really gets around!

i'm sure that on a 1:1 ratio of tegu to human she'll become a different lizard. as she was already a total attention hog even when she wasn't tame, her curiosity towards humans was unquenchable. she was always the first tegu in my lap when i would read in the lizard room.

Maybe it's getting closer to the time bart goes home ehh? i'll have to ask brit n see where she stands. i know she misses him to death.

And why are you taking care of Bartley? You were going to keep him and now you're not? I can understand that-four tegus is a lot to feed, I think. Especially if you're not a breeder. I really want to get a 2nd one but my wallet has been squeaking lately-ouch! I'm still paying off Bubba's vet bill !
Not being from Santa Rosa-where is the skate park? Is there grass? A tegu picnic sounds like fun but I need to get my guy used to a leash first. I'm looking for a vest or something that fits him.

i'm taking care of bart because i have the capacity to. i like bart. i want to see him healthy and happy. brit was talking about rehoming them both due to instability in the wallet and i figured sheila's behavior would most likely make that end badly either with britt having trouble finding a home for em or even worse having to give them to someone without the knowledge or resources to care for them.
i figured i take em, tame em down and one of three endings are possible: 1. they become part of the family. 2. Britts wallet calms and she is able to care for her kids again or 3. they become unmanageable in my situation and i rehome them tamer than before and with the ability to deny the lizards to anyone who i feel isn't in there best interest without a time limit. seem'd a good solution

lol, i just got a call from the guy i gave sheila to. seems his landlord isn't too keen on a large lizard in the apartment. looks like i may be getting her back.
lol, so i guess the question is, what would you do with a female who is a bit of a tailbiter bubba? almost sounds like a question for bobby. how to get two similarly sized tegus to live together? groxy joker and bart seem to do it fine. why is she so different? and why exactly does she do it? i know it's situational, she lived with all of em for a few months and she rarely bit. just every once in a while.
honestly i think she gets grouchy when she's hungry. it almost seems like it happened when there wasn't any food for a few days. i'll update as soon as i figure out if he's keeping her.
