After moving to a bigger place and getting the girlfriends permission (we also have 4 snakes) AND getting a promotion at work.... I'm happy to say, This is my new buddy Littlefoot the Hybrid RedxBlack and White Argentine Tegu.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who participates in this website. For three years I have been researching, planning, and learning about these amazing animals and finally my dreams became reality.

This is his 6x2x2 enclosure I got for a great deal from a rescue who was downsizing, it's a cages by design enclosure.

He is already doing great! So far he is eating groundturkey, eggs, pinkies, and chicken livers. He likes to bask on me after he eats :)
I learned everything I needed and wanted to know about keeping these animals from Tegutalk and I'm very excited for my first post on here! Seriously 3 years of preparing and researching, food, humidity, temps, taming, even what kind of temp gun I should get! Everything for the most part I learned from Tegutalk. I Will post updates soon, but again thank you everyone who has experience with these animals and were willing to share their experiences, you make dreams come true.

Congrats, Jared. Littlefoot and his home look great. For picks and grins, measure his body length now and again at say 3 or 6 mo. Even his pattern will change.

Thank you so much Jessicak,
I actually did not plan to get a hybrid but it just ended up working out that way, and it actually was a blessing in disguise cause I couldn't choose between the black and whites and the Reds!

And Walter, from my "so so" measuring skills he is about 12 inches long and weighs 77 grams.
Thanks again!
