Anyone have tegus?

kg Oct 22, 2003 06:54 PM

I just got an Argentine Black and White tegu at the San Diego herp show, and she's awesome. I was going to get either a blue tegu or a savannah monitor, but I ended up with a b&w instead! She acts like a P.O.ed cat when she's pissed...she swishes her tail, arches her back, and gapes at me...pretty cool. Anyways........enough rambling about my beautiful, sexy, intelligent, MAD COOLNESS, tegu. I never knew how cool tegus could be...and I've had mine for a grand total of 4 days! Anyone else have these nifty little (hmm..I shouldn't say little...) guys? IM me at matchflamestick and let's talk tegus! or any other herps for that matter. Haha I'm such a loser. Later.

I don't have one but I've been thinking about it. What can you tell me about them?

From what I've heard, they're supposed to be very intelligent. Already I've noticed that Tindra (my tegu) is very curious about her surroundings. She likes to wander around my couch and taste everything, climb up everything, and burrow in the cushions. She hates to be bothered from her burrow though. She's okay with handling once she's out of her cage... she's a little nippy, but I assume it varies from tegu to tegu. All in all, a very cool herp.
