My Argentine has plumped up very nicely "Loves to eat", and had been just resting alot this week. Figured he was going on a little growing spell. He was more active and back to normal yesterday, and came out with shedding skin just hanging off him - The brownish tint to his back is coming off, and his black and white coloring is well defined and looks great. May take a while to get rid of all that green on his head though _________________ 1.0.0 Ball Python "Albino"

Awesome! Make sure to keep size & weighs. One day you will be glad you have them. Pictures are nice too. If every two weeks you take a picture and measure/weigh him you will have some great data and can look back and say "Hey, I remember when he was that small!!"

Go to Ebay and type in "digital scale" or "gram scale". They're quite inexpensive. Make sure to get one that has a fairly high capacity though since tegus get large.
I remember when I first took my tegu to the vet 2 days or so after I got him he fit in the tabletop scales...now he has to go on the dog scales Thats fun trying to keep him on there.
Looks good however too small to get a large Tegu on there, or are you able put like a rubbermaid product on there and weigh it with and without the Tegu in it ? _________________ 1.0.0 Ball Python "Albino"
