    Default My babies are growing up!

    Just some updated pictures of my two Colombians Tegusaurus Rex and Astrid...Astrid is the gold one, and she is not at all happy with people. She runs, though. She wont try and bite unless you grab her. Teggie on the other hand is a big ol' sweetheart. You can hold him, cuddle him, pull his tail, he just doesn't care. They've both been eating like pigs lately, I guess because we're warming it back up in the apartment (we had it in the upper 60s to brumate the snakes). Teggie was so fat at one point that he started shedding in the middle XD













    Here is Teggie as a baby (with his banana peel tail shed, lol) back in November so you can see how much he has grown in the past 5 months.

    Awww. They are so cute together . I love it when the Tegus have that nice big belly . I don't want to be rude but I wanted to ask you if you have a red heat lamp inside the enclosure ? If you do please be careful with that. It can cauze some eye problems. Enjoy them now while they are still kind of small. They will be growing like crazy now lol.

    Awww, how cool! My female got a bit more flighty when the male showed interest in her. I don't know if that's what may going on with yours, but I thought I would throw it out there.

    I wonder if she's flighty because the other one is so much bigger than her...?

    She hangs out with the bigger one all the time and never seems to have a problem with him. I just think its because she just has that harder-to-tame personality. Also I have no idea if they really are a male and a female, thats just what I like to call them :P

    They are very good looking tegus. Some just have different personalities.

    I'm not sure. I am not overly interested in determining their gender, really. I'd have a hard time trying to think of them as something other than what I think of them now (Teggie - male, Astrid - female).

    But just to give you an idea of their appetites, Teggie just ate 5 fuzzies in one sitting with no hesitation. In fact, he was a bit overeager XD
