Males have a more robust triangular shape than the female. Though if it's possible to notice that with younglings i don't know Awesome lizard though....if you get the REALLY armoured one(Cordylus cataphractus). If they were available here, i'd have a few Back to top meanah Senior Member Joined: Dec 18, 2007 Posts: 877 Location: Eddington, Maine Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2008 9:38 pm    Post subject: ill check the real name of it friday. when i go check them out again _________________ 0.1.0 Colombian Tegu 1.0.0 Arg.

They were on TV last night actually, and they are very sociable in the wild, because, like wolves, they travel in groups, and they all keep watch for predators from above, and when one armadillo flees into a rock, the rest follow. A couple of survival instincts they have is when they feel threatened they whip their tail up and bite it in their mouths, at the same time, bringing their legs in, so they make something looking like a ball. By doing that they are protecting their important organs in the middle of the ball, and their spines become incredibly sharp, making it very difficult for something to eat it. It takes them a while to realize its safe again before they have the guts to let go of their tail. Not much info.. but y'know, a little bit of background info doesn't hurt. =) _________________ Davii [www.herp-observer.uni.cc] <- Exotic Pets Referral Program -> [http://www.exotic-pets.co.uk/referrer.php?ref=12906] Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         theTegu.com Forum Index -> Reptiles All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1 Translate to English using Google Language Tools:   Jump to: Select a forum General Site Forums----------------Site NewsWelcomeFun & GamesSuggestion BoxBusiness Ratings & ReviewsMembers LoungeHelpful Information Tegu Forums----------------Normal DiscussionGeneral CareHealth IssuesTegu HousingClassifiedsBreeding & GeneticsShow & Tell (Picture Forum)Lights!
