simon021 sorry about your GU. Cats are the worst feral animal killing many native small animals. cant blame them. like I cant blame my adult GUs living outside from eatin a few [cats] lol i find hair clumps in my enclosure. opps

Just out of curiosity how would a adult tegu do against a 50+ lb dog? I am not talking about letting them fight just defend. I keep my dogs from my lizards.

well i saw a youtube video of a shepard mix killing and eating a tegu, so id have to guess that if they really went at it that the tegu wouldnt do all that well. that video was so sad

I received mine on the 14th.

i love him.

his name is optimus, and if "he" turns out to be a girl....it will still be optimus, i just wont tell anybody that he's actually a girl.

doing very well, eats as much as he wants every day, basks, gets toasty, sleeps, drinks, and hangs out with me, already as tame as a puppy, still runs a little when he gets startled, but thats only to be expected. very big thanks to Bobby for producing such great animals. =]

loves cantelope.....

Thanks for getting back on topic Jordan. Glad to hear how well Optimus is doing.
You know I had 2 Geckos and I named them before I figured out their sex. I named them Fontanella and Reptar and guess what, Fontanella turned out to be the male, and Reptar the female (and yes, their names stayed with them). My feeling is, fish and lizards are the gender you tell your friends they are. They'd never know the difference anyways. 8)

I also got a baby from Bobby. "her" name is Lola. She is eating like a pig but shes still pretty skiddish about me being around her. When shes out of the cage she calms down very fast though.

these animals are amazing

so personable...

my little guy just literally followed me in circles throughout my basement (tegu-proofed) for the better part of 2 hours.

he loves me.

my savannah on the other hand, despises me and everything that i do. oh well. can't expect a monitor to not act like a monitor i guess.
