Tegu Fun!

tc5000 Dec 14, 2004 09:35 PM

I enjoy interactive pets. Playing fetch or something like that is great fun, but that said I have been truly fascinated with cold blooded animal since I was a small chilled. As a matter of fact due to my love and fascination with reptiles I upped my mother schedule for the "birds and the bee's talk" by several years. I did this by collecting many "piggy backing " pairs of toads from ditches after a big rain. Needless to say once I understood those "piggy backing " toads where making tadpoles I put them all back where I found them.

That said I believe a Tegu can produce more entertainment them most warm blooded pets. I know they don't fetch and generally will not snuggle up with you but I must say they are truly fascinating to watch roam free in the house. Here is only a small fraction of what Lucky was up to tonight. I would post o few more of him in this yoga mat but the focus is slightly off.

Haha! That is too cute! Is this the guy who likes to attack shoes and play with that green ball? I tried a ball, but my tegu was like "ummm its not food so go away." He loves to pose for photos though. I love tegus, such personality!
