Hey I see a lot of pictures with people's tegus outside without a leash or anything. I saw one with a tegu on the beach . I'm just wondering, aren't you guys afraid that they will run away or do you trust them not to? _________________ 1.0 Argentine B/W Tegu (Dante) 0.1 Red Tegu (Azshara) Back to top Nero557 Respected Member Joined: Mar 03, 2006 Posts: 521 Location: Chicago, IL Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2006 7:08 pm    Post subject: you should stay quite close to them reguardless if you have them on a leash or not, mine don't tend to bolt irregularly but it always can happen and you just have to be aware of it. _________________ -Art- Back to top yeaitsdave Honored Member Joined: Sep 25, 2005 Posts: 261 Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2006 8:17 pm    Post subject: I just keep him in sight.
