I know of a great place to go for if you get a new one.

Bobby is one of the best breeders out a lot of the members on this forum got their Tegus from him.

ya i emailed bobby and got a reply the next day but it was too late the possible damage was done lol

 

[Guest]

i probably should have tried some patience

If you don't mind me asking. What is wrong with your Tegus. I wouldn't get a Tegu at a expo unless you did your research and ask a lot of questions. Just to make sure they know what they are doing. A lot of times the sales person doesn't know much about the Tegus ( because they are the middle man and just want to sell them ). I also have seen and heard that Columbians are being sold as Argentine Tegus. Columbians are much much cheaper than the Argentines. What kind of Tegu are you looking for ? I highly recommend Bobby ( Varnyard ) or if you want a blue I recommend DaveDragon, wil or Javier.

nothing yet i got them from a site but ive jus heard terrible stories about these guys only after i ordered them

 

[juggernaut]

Call and ask to stop the order.

 

[Guest]

they're on the way already

 

[Guest]

ill keep you guys posted and when they get here ill take pics and get you're opinion on if they look healthy or not

It might be a good idea to take them to the vet for a health check. I hope you're not thinking about sending them back or sell them. They deserves a good home too and the damage is done anyway.

 

[Guest]

no dont get it misunderstood i intend to keep them if they come back healthy or not i just hope they are healthy

 

[DaveDragon]

As you've probably already been told, the Tegu's you ordered are more than likely imports since B&W's have very recently hatched. You'll need to collect a fecal sample from them and have it checked for parasites as soon as possible. Mites don't affect Tegu's. Post some pics when you get them.

No dont get it misunderstood. I intend to keep them if they come back healthy or not. I just hope they are healthy.

Whenever I get an animal, import or not, I always take them to the vet right away for a fecal test.

But when I know I'm getting an import, I usually get bloodwork done as well.

I would take them to the vet, too, and get a health check done.

Definitely take them to the vet. I *always* take new herps of unverifiable origin directly to the vet. A lot of people think it's unnecessary, but I'd rather pay a $37 premium on my herps (the standard office call at the vet clinic here), than risk an outbreak of mites, or worse. (I quarantine, but better safe than sorry)

ok so i called the people i bought the lizards from and they now tell me the lizard has not been sent and the two they have got broken legs and missing toes so i cancled it and now im without a tegu

 

[Guest]

and if your wondering they lied about telling me they were sent

I understand that you don't want to bad mouth anyone on here, but if you could do a review in the boi on this seller so that others can be warned, I think that would be extremely helpful.

Well that's actually good news.

The fates have allowed to try it again. Like Groundhog Day! Hopefully this time you'll do the right thing:
