Well, I've placed a good number of the Cyclura, monitors, and tegus that we took in last March in a huge rescue operation. I have 3 of the 9 tegus left here: an Argentine B/W male, a red female, and the red male pictured here. One of the Blues went to California, the other Blue and a Red female went to Lake Forest, IL. Another Argentine male went to a wildlife park right here in Michigan.
I will be keeping Clifford as an educational animal. Still debating whether I'm keeping the red female or not.

i remember reading about your rescue. very nice. i used to work at a wildlife rescue center here in south florida. they had an arg. b/w tegu but it wasnt very nice. people tend to find animals like that in parks around ft.lauderdale. anyway..i wanted to ask you. how do you go about doing educational shows say for elementary schools and such. i'm thinking about doing that with a few of my animals but im waiting for my tegu to get older. good luck with the tegus.

I have a core of educational animals that are familiar with traveling and being around a large crowd of people. These include an Argentine Tegu, Rhinoceros iguana, Grand Cayman hybrid Cyclura, Sulcatta tortoise, Bearded Dragons, Savannah monitor, Eastern Box turtle, Cornsnakes, Boas, a couple of large Burms, and a few more. These animals are very reliable to behave well and not get stressed. I only do smaller groups of children, 25-30 max. I usually present the animals according to habitat type...desert, savannah, arid forest, rain forest, etc. I always try to let the children get up close and touchy (by walking among them), but the animal's head, and tail if necessary, is always under my control.

If you have any specific questions feel free to contact me off of the forum.
