Lol.

Could be worse, you could come to find 4 plants knocked over, water soaking the carpet with some brownish, watery substance -mud- accompanying it. I'll never know what Ally decided to do that day, but apparently knocking over large plants filled some void she had in her life at that time...

It's amazing how they find a "niche" to call their own and will literally do anything to get back in that "niche" once they find it. You can do a lot to prevent them from getting back into that "spot" but most tegus are resilient with memories that at times, allow their intelligence to unfold into a mess of situations - from knocked over plants and disappearing vacuums to tegus that take up residence in comfy sofas and not-so comfy furnace vents. True story - my juvie Skoob was allowed to roam around my house and managed to find THE SMALLEST, tightest, hardest-to-get-into-and-out-of spot in the entire joint - an old furnace. I had to dismantle the entire thing to get him out. 45 min. later, covered in dust and wondering why I disrupted his nap, Skoob was put back into his home until he's too big, too fat and too lazy to attempt getting stuck in a large metal heater.

The list goes on but the fun never stops!
