My first post here, and my first Tegu is on its' way from Alabama.
A little introduction first. I am 46, a father of 4 awsome kids, and have been married just shy of 20 yrs.. I have always had "critters". My father had allergies to fur and feathers, and was always told NO when dogs, followed me home. But, no one ever said no to frogs, snakes ,turtles, bugs, or any of the local critters I'd collect.
I can't remember a time when I didn't have at least one "exotic" pet. I / We currently care for many snakes, lizards, frogs, tarantulas, scorpions, and 1 Dog.
I enjoy teaching people about animal diversity, usually through School Visits with part of our collection.
As mentioned, I have my first Tegu on its' way. It is from Bert at Agama International. He is a B&W Argintene, and we are VERY excited to have him join our family. The Online research that I have done, has brought me here, and I already feel right at home. I am following many of the suggestions and tips provided here, and will start my own little thread of our Tegu's arrival and life with us.
If you care to, many of our animals are pictured at this thread http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=58632 , on Arachnoboards. Take care, Michael
