Man she is gorgeous, looks like she is filling out nicely to.

What does she weigh now? I'm guessing uupwards of 10 lbs.

 

[Longfellow777]

She sure is. Ty. Oh yeah 10 easily. I need a bigger scale the food one i use for Frey'ja she doesn't fit on lol I'll let you know as soon as i do though.

Omg now thats a funny image in my head, i had a good chuckle picturing a tegu on a food scale .

 

[Longfellow777]

Yeah I tried it didn't work out

 

[xp29]

I bet. She is like HEY you weigh my food NOT ME!!!!

 

[Longfellow777]

Who knows what went through her head lol she wasnt in the best care before me. As good as she is that will always be in the back of my mind yah know. Trauma is real with every living thing so everything new i do with her we really ease into.

Thats actually a pretty good plan, tegus are smart to, so you know she probably remembers that time frame. But as she learns thats all in the past and you will treat her right i bet the bond will be stronger than if you got her small and she was always treated right. I know our rescue beardie is the most clingy and loveable.
