My Tegus!

[KatiesCresteds]

I got pictures of my two little boys today, and thought I'd share. Aidan is actually my rescue. He is recovering super fast!
Shot of me (ignore the mess of hair...Xander wanted on top of my head and messed it up) with Xander and Aidan

Xander the fatty!

We are Detective Kazzy and Detective Xander, at your service!

All three of us (they JUST got out of the bathtub...and got water all over me...rotten lizards)


Little Aidan

I LOVE big lizards, but I know my dogs and cats would raise all kinds of Hell with them.

If I didn't have the pooches and the kitties, I'd have a couple of tegus or monitors, and snakes, too...but the dogs and cats own ME.

 

Not that I don't LOME them, too...

lol yeah, I know what you mean. I'll have dogs and cats when I move out but will have to just keep a good eye on everyone. Most of the tegus I'll have will still be babies by then, Xander and Aidan will be up in size though. Xander is growing I swear an inch a day!!! He's getting huge and FAST. It's cool.

More pics taken today with the webcam. I love these guys! I can't wait to get more this summer!!!





I'm already sending payments to Bobby (varnyard herps) for a female Arg. Black and White AND a female Chacoan...I'm considering adding a baby male Red.

Updated pics, and a pic of the newest tegu with a story.

Aidan (I don't know if I showed you guys the pic of Aidan when I first brought the poor guy home, so these are before and after pics):


And now 





And this is Abeni. Once she's out of hibernation, I'll get more pics.

What you can't see in the pic is the prolapsed cloaca hanging out of her 'bum'. Poor gal. She went through a lot because of that (which was because of a friend of mine's stupid ex who was supposed to take care of her while my friend was in and out of the hospital). A big impaction caused her to strain to much which caused her cloaca to prolapse. Luckily, after a vet trip, where the vet cleaned out all the eco-earth and such from the prolapsed cloaca (it was slit open) and a shot to keep infection from spreading, she soon started eating again, and defecating. Then, finally, the cloaca fell off. I thought she was a goner because of that, but she got better, ate more, and pooped! She has had no problems defecating since then, and there was never once and blood or anything in her stool. She eats great (well, not now...she's sleeping now, hehe) and after I lot of handling, she stopped trying to eat me...haha.
