Greetings!
I really want to thank the founder of this forum for the tegu care sheet he authored and for creating this forum. It has already been a wealth of amazing information for me. Last Sunday our family adopted our first red tegu. I was told his/her age was about a year old, but from some of the pictures I have seen posted here, I think ours might be a bit younger. We have several other reptiles and our new baby is fitting in well. My 10 year old son is thrilled and named the tegu Rojo, Spanish for the color red. Rojo is expected to lose the end of his tail soon due to a retained shed. :( I am hoping all will go well and it will just be a minor issue. Here is a picture of the enclosure and of our new family member. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and picking your brains for information, lol! ;)
