Tybalt's Thread

[kim86]

Thought I'd make an actual post for him...

Here's some photos I took of him tonight after feeding him two f/t small rats, so that's why he looks so dang chunky.

Thanks He's a little beast... swear he's had a growth spurt ever since putting him in his new enclosure. He's already escaped once by climbing the light and pushing a heavy tile from the top... I don't know how he did it, so I had to re-MacGyver his lighting situation. Little jerk!

I used these latches on Gwangi's cage.

Hahaha, aww... I'm sure he'll catch up! How is he temperament wise? Tybalt is being a royal pain in the butt lately with his food response, so I've been trying to figure out a good balance of how much to feed him so he isn't trying to end my arm's lives anymore Other than that, he's a sweetie.

Mine is mean. He thrashes, whips and hisses if my hands go anywhere near him. He also rarely eats if I'm in the room. It's kind of discouraging. I think I'm just destined to never have a nice tegu.

The other day he caught my finger and bit through my nail causing it to bleed.

Ah, brutal! What kind of housing is he in?

 

[Little Wise Owl]

He's currently in a 3.5ft long tank with a sealed wooden lid (to keep in humidity). I've covered the sides and back so he can feel more secure. He also has deep soil/sand mixture to burrow in.

In a couple weeks his adult enclosure will be finished so he'll be going into that.

I heard that the breeder from Tegutopia was given a couple chacoan eggs or babies from Johnny Larocca (teguterra). I bought mine from Teguterra and he was born August, 2012 as well. Could be siblings!!

Maybe! Mine's just a regular B&W though. I know Cindy has worked with Tegu Terra before, which is rad. I'm hoping to get my guy a girlfriend this upcoming season from her

Here are some new photos of Tybalt! He turned 1 in August, and he's pretty huge lol. There's a comparison pic of when I got him in Sept 2012 and a pic of him recently. So nuts! I just put a deposit down on a Chacoan from Tegu Topia, where I got him.... he's going to have a buddy soon

Wow he looks great and only a year he has some nice size to him and a lot of white!

Thanks!! Here's a pic from yesterday of us haha. Right before bath time.
