    Default I Think they get big!

    I have a female All American or I think it is a female at least. I got her in May from Bobby and she was 12 inches and still hibernating. I measured her 2 weeks ago and she is now 43 inches from nose to tip of tail! very husky too but still no jawls so I think she is a female but I really don't know. Mine has a red belly like a red tegu and a slight bluish green on the nose and around the eyes. She is very tame as long as she gets her way.

    Oh yeah, when we first got Oscar (the All American), he looked like a Christmas ornament... all olive greens and reds. Less than two months (and about four sheds) later, he's very creamy looking with tones of beige and rusts. Bozski (our B/W) now has a VERY distinct black nose that wasn't there at all when he first arrived.

    Well, we bought them from Varnyard. Bozski ran me $150, and Oscar ran The Boyfriend $350 (although Bobby *did* knock off $50 from the total because we were buying two at once). Right now, they don't run us too much in the way of food and supplements, as they're still small. I don't wanna go into just how much their enclosure/lighting/deco ran me though... *facepalm*
