New Pick Up!

Just picked this up at the Richmond Expo yeaterday

Copy cat!

Hey man i couldnt pass her up, i had some ball pythons in mind yesterday but my cash was tight i decided on her lol

Haha well I work for money, beer n trades if you need an eclosure built like mine.

Very nice, I seen a couple Tegus there.

If I only had the space, well then again if we had the space my gf really wants an Asian Water monitor (really I just don't want that food bill anytime soon!)

Where were the other tegus? Mine was the only one there

I swore I seen 2 B&W tegus maybe Im mistaken I wasn't there long and was dealing with being sick as it was (yes I had my own hand sanitizer with me and used almost a whole little bottle) on top of my son bouncing around like crazy lol.

Or maybe I seen someone showing it off a couple different places?

Me and my girl were swapping off and on

Deedle I love monitors and Tegus but avoid AWM i had one they are mean and then the food bill is crazy, and a AWM enclosure compared to a tegu is nothing. AWM like water you have to have a tube big enough for it to swim in and things and then either one hell of a filter or dump by hand and refill about very other day...(Monitors like to poo in water) I have 3 savannahs now, next I want a Short Tail monitor but i don't have a few grand laying around.

Travis nice pickup man wish i Could have gone to the show...grrrrr:Angry:

I've cared for Asian Water Monitors before, I know the cost that is the reason I avoid them, I'm actually really looking for someone that has a Large Adult that I can have my GF work with and see how much of a pain they are.

I'll have to completely disagree with ASM being mean, Most of the ASM I've dealt with were big puppies.

Now Croc monitors that's a whole different story.

Any water based monitor
Cuming's, Philippine, large-scaled, Palawan, Rasmussen's, Sri Lankan ,Andaman Islands, two-striped, Southeast Asian, Ziegler's, Togian -water monitors and even Niles
I stay away from have never had luck and my fingers can't take it any more lol  

I like Savannahs, Short Tails, White Throat, Black Throat, Timor, Whites Dwarf, Argus and even Lace

Now granted most of them i haven't owned but i know how some of the species from those families are and it scares me away from them lol

Niles probably have the meanest overall disposition from a commonly seen in the pet trade monitor.

As with almost anything quality CB animals make a big difference

Congrats
