some shots of my Argentine @ 10 and 8 months

the-vandyl Jul 15, 2004 03:02 AM

this first pic was taken today after a feed. you should be able to discern a great deal of growth from the proceeding pics. My tegu is voracious as far as feeding is concerned, often eating 2-3 hoppers in one day, i lean him out and make him thrive by witholding food 2-3 days a week. He eats about 4 dozen king mealies in one sitting and an egg on alternating days (just one scrambled egg per week, supplemented.) I supplement once a week with reptical and herptivite.

he was in hibernation essentially his first six months from purchase, which worried me as he became severely emaciated, when he arose he definitely let me know he was hungry, he hasn't stopped feeding since and is ultra active, and a talented escape artist to boot.

the next 2 posts are from May, he's definitely filling out at a high rate when looking back at these older shots

As of now he's in a 40gal. breeder tank. I am designing a new tank and will post plans, it will be collapsible and big (appr.8'x4') and easy to build once i engineer all of the plans, but i am far from the engineer, so it's taking awhile to streamline. Nothing fancy, but i am sure some people will appreciate the options...more to come
