Hi Guy/Girls

PinkPunisher · Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2008 8:07 pm Post subject: Hi Guy/Girls

My names Spencer and my hobby is herps, lizards more then snakes. I'm only 14 but i would consider myself with a share bit of knowledge. I live in Winchester Ontario which is about 30 mins from Ottawa. I currently own a male Green Iguana named Napoleon and a male Bearded Dragon named Dante. Napoleon was a rescue and is rather small, he's been in my care for almost 2 years (June 11th) and is only 30 inchs. I open the gate into the hobby with rescuing Napoleon even after reading how hard they are to care for, personally i don't find him that hard to care for and has the personality to make it worth it

I am planning on either getting a monitor or a tegu for my next reptile but i keep changing my mind on both, i want both so bad but can only get one. If i get the tegu i plan on giving it a nice big enclosure that will double as a new bed frame, It will also give me the chance to upgrade to a bigger mattress

I'm thinking King

That's about all i can think of at the moment.

OH i joined this site a long time ago but never posted was more of the stocker type

Take Care,
Spencer

Hey hows it going! I know what you mean, I am a huge herp guy myself too. I started with fish but then did a rescue on a bearded hatchling two years ago, and I have been hooked since. I am with Jose on the Tegu thing. I was where you were... monitor or tegu.... monitor or tegu... and even though I could get a monitor for half of what I paid for a tegu, tegus are def worth it!!! I did the research and for me, tegu fit the bill!

HOLY CROW!!! There's a 350 gallon fish tank for sale 30 mins from me

It's 72''x30''x36'' ( lxwxh ) Think thats big enough for a single tegu?!

Only 300 bucks to!! It doesnt have the bottom pain though but couldn't i just place a thick piece of plywood under it, lay some lino over the wood and silicone around the edges to the glass?

I was thinking a pair or trio of Red Ackies ( Which from what ive seen would cost around 600-1000 without shipping and taxes...) or a Argentine Black & White Tegu. Now that this tank is out I REALLY want to get it!! Maybe ill see if he's interested in trading my set up 55 gallon fish tank for it

Worth a try right? and BEGGING the parents.

You guys think that the Tegu would like that cage? How much do you think it would weigh! around 700 pounds

That's empty to...ahhh thats no good...
