Temptation getting the best of me

[Dana C]

I had Gordo out for his bath and poop as usual today. I usually bath him and feed him in the bathroom. Anyway, I had BBQ'd a couple of thick pork loin chops, really lean and with out sauce or seasoning but for a little lemon pepper. Since this bath etc. was right at the time I wanted to eat, I took my dinner into the bathroom. I sit on floor by the way.
Gordo powered down an unbelievable amount of food and was exploring while I ate my pork chops......curiosity got the best of me so I cut off three fairly large tegu sized bites and put them on Gordo's plate. I should say that Gordo knows the sound of a stoneware salad plate hitting the floor and is on it immediately. You would have thought I put cream puffs in front of Fatty Arbuckle the silent film star. He loved the BBQ pork and was living large.

Ok I know it wasn't the smartest thing to do but it was just a little BBQ and he loved it.....and I loved that he enjoyed it so much.

I have given my tegus some small tidbits off the grill. I see nothing wrong with it as long as its only once or twice.

I gave Kodo an Arby's roast beef sandwich once. A treat every once and a while shouldn't cuase too many problems and I'm sure Gordo appreciated it.

most people feed there tegus turkey cat food chicken and all the other stuff they don't eat that in the wild so why would a little bbq hurt.

Mine once tried a bite of my sandwich with jam when I wasn't paying attention and he finished his own meal.
