    Question *wanted*

    So, the husband has decided he'd like to jump into the tegu game, so we're searching for a coppery red to add to our family. He doesn't really like the high contrast "sausage" (his words) reds that came from the legitimate breeders (sorry Varnyard), but something a little more rural. Let us know if you guys find anything that we don't please The New England Reptile Expo is in April and we're willing to wait until then, but figured I'd see what you guys had found first.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Pikey! He understands that they all get pretty chunky, he's just not a fan of the bright reds that come from Varnyard (thank you Reptiles magazine). He's looking for more of a rusty/hybrid reddish.

    Also, look on Fauna classifieds. The ones that Underground calls Paraguayan look darker and thinner as adults to me.
