I have 30 tegus and I need to make room before I bring them inside for hibernation so I am, against my better judgement, going to sell one of my groups of 1 male, 3 females. All four are adults. They were breeders prior to me getting them, but I have tamed them down. I only bred one of the females this season and she laid 20 eggs, all of them hatched. The other two would have bred but my males were spread to thin as it was.
Being breeders, two of the females have regrown tail tips, one has some minor scar on her lip from a prior attempt at protecting her eggs, the male has all of his tail. As stated, they are tame enough to hold. The one with the scarred lip is a little nervous but does fine once picked up. I trust all of them enough that I kiss 'em on the nose (but then again, you all know I am a nut anyways)
So.. the pictures...
-------------------
This is Breeder Female #1 (tame, regrown tail, not mated this season)
-------------------
This is Breeder Female #2 (tame, regrown tail, some minor mating scars, not mated this season)
-------------------
This is Breeder Female #3 (nervous, but calm, scarred lip, gave me 20 eggs this season, all hatched). This is also Male #1 (calm and tame)
