    Default Hello all from Normal IL

    Hello everyone great to finally participate in a forum I am quite new to the whole thing. I guess it is about time to talk to some people that enjoy herps as much as I do considering there are not many fans around where I live. I have cared for reptiles since I was a little kid and find great joy in it. Well hopefully as I learn the site I will make some friends who share my passion, and get new information on how to care for my scaly friends.

    My white throat Mongo is about 3 years old I got him while he was just a hatchling and he is supposedly CB though I don't have paper work to back it up. He is very tame just a big lazy lizard he never has tried to bite and now only hisses if you wake him up. My tegu Fry is a year old male and he is pretty tame as well even though i feel that since he has woken from hibernation he has backtracked and is a little shy but he has pretty much gotten used to me again. I got him when he was about a month old since I didn't have the cash to get him during hatching time. I actually got both of them from the same dealer/breeder a guy named The Newtist who I met at the local reptile expo. Mongo the WT is about 4 Ft and Fry is like 28 In.

    Hi drgonzo04. Welcome to our Tegu forum family . Just let us know if we can help you in any way. Everyone here is very helpful and friendly . If you don't mind me asking. How did you tame down your white throat monitor ? We just got a 4 1/2 month old black throat monitor about a month ago. He never tries to bite us either but he likes to tail whip a bit and huff and puff sometimes lol.

    Since I had the same problems with downloading pictures on here before, I started to use photobucket.com. Let me know if you don't know how to use photobucket and I'll give you the steps on how to do it .
    Rich is not how much you have, or where you are going, or what you are.Rich is who you have beside you.
