calleo:To the person who dumped this tegu to die in the Wisconsin winter: Fuck you. I’m pretty sure I know who you are too, you’re the same person whose phone number I have, and I remember that because your cragislist ad for a tegu (supposedly female) that looks just like this contained, “I don’t want to take her to a shelter, if nobody will buy her, I’ll release her.”I missed an entire half day of work tracking this guy down just based on a blurry photo and where grass patterns looked weird, am covered in bloody scratches (not from the tegu, the tegu just happened to bolt into a burrow surrounded by brambles), am sweaty, am muddy, and am exhausted.Whoever you are, you are never getting this animal back.It’s mine now. And it’s a sweet lizard (who is missing part of its tail, wonderful) that very happily lets me carry it around provided I pick it up correctly and who very politely takes rats from tongs.I hope this reserved you a seat in Hell.Also to everyone on Facebook who responded to the “Uh what is this?” picture posted to a local group that offered to kill it but didn’t offer to help capture it: You can fuck right off as well. I hope your lives are a never ending parade of the shit luck you deserve for being so openly cruel.Now I just have to figure out how to get and where to put a proper enclosure. I have a lot of spare lights and domes but the only thing even temporarily big enough is an old ferret cage (if we put two floors together and have the doors top opening) and that’s not even remotely appropriate for anything long term or even for a longer short term.Right now, its in the bathroom and I made a towel nest in the bin but, obviously, it can’t live there very long. -- source link
