So Check this Guy out! He's about a 3.5' Argentienan (mind my speeeeling) Black and White Tegu, Seems to be pretty chill once ya get him outa the cage...UNTIL he bites ya and swallows your finger (I still have all 10, For the moment!) I Ended up trading a Local Petshop in town for this guy...Came out to be 3 Spiders (P.Chordatus, H.Mac Sling, H.Gigas MM) For him...Pretty good stuff So I thought I'd Share! And other than a Little nose rubbin, He's in MARVELOUS shape!

he isnt in great shape.
thats a serious mouth issue, and you need to get that treated asap.
being that they dont produce antibodies, it can turn badly very easily.
also whatever is causing the snout rubbing needs to be addressed as well.

those tegus are mean fellows, lol.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. That is a pretty serious wound he's got there. Good luck getting him the treatment he needs, he sure is a great looking lizard aside from that.

According to Fitz, The Treatment is pretty easy...And I'm thinking about investing in this foam pad that he can't do as much damage to his nose as he's already done...Still, If ya saw the petshop he came from...You'd think Differently about him :)

What do you mean "if I saw the pet store he came from", was it a bad place or something?
