Gorgeous! And I love the space-efficient layout. Where did you get them from in the end? Im so glad you finally managed to get what you wanted!

Incidentally, Bam is an awesome name for a tegu. :)

im glad you like the layout :)

and i have a couple of welsh tegu's on my hands...i got them from Canton in Cardiff...i had to get 3 licences for each tegu, took a boat over from Jersey to Weymouth, drove 410 mile there and back, stayed over 3 nights and im yet to tally up my costs...but its all good now they are here

Raab ate her first locust today also...apparently they never fed her bugs in the shop...meh :) so happy now!

Daaaaaaamn! You had to do alot of sh!@ to get 'em but they look good. But I can see it all paid off. I'm feelin the red. The setup is genius(picturing a kingsize bunkbed setup). :lol:

This will probably sound a little dense, but I really like the rocks - where did you get them from? Im thinking about going and buying some, but I feel rather bemused at the thought of paying a lot of money for some stone; if you did buy it, was it expensive? Alternatively though Im not really sure where to get it, considering its a lengthy drive to any large bodies of water etc...any ideas?

i bought mine rocks at a garden center...the were a nice £1 each! i was loving it lol....but alternativly you can get rocks at a resovior (sp?) that way you know there is alot about and your not taking things from a beach....hope that helped

Congrats on your new nice looking Tegus.Now that's one way of putting things under your bed :lol: .Wow you had to go threw a lot of trouble to get them.All we have to do is go to the reptile store and buy them.I'm glad, too, to see that you got what you wanted.You defiantly deserve it.Good luck with them.

Yeah it's just an awesome idea, it uses less space! I have Juancho's place next to my bed so I can see him while falling asleep =) They are really beautiful too :D

I wouldn't be able to put his enclosure next to our bed.He never would go to sleep.I just got home from work ( 3.00 am ) went on the Tegu forum and I was talking quietly to my boyfriend and Leonidas came out of his burrow.Now he is basking.
