    Re: "Tribbies"

    kjhowland thanks for that link. I had found it before, but it's one of the better ones out there.

    Just an update on the situation: I went back in to the store today and put a deposit on an adult female. I decided I'd get one to start with and make sure she thrives, and then will probably introduce a male. I wanted the female to be able to establish her territory first, rather than purchasing a male and allowing him to "own" the territory. It all sounded logical at the time.

    I'm going to be doing some ordering and whatnot for supplies, and going in every few days to check up on her and hold/touch her. I want to be at least a little used to her before she comes home. I touched her tail today, and petted her spine. The next time I go back I'll probably hold her. Baby steps - this is a fear I've had since childhood. I want to get over it.

    While I was there, they had a red tegu out and about. He came over to me and walked between my legs and stepped on my feet. Even licked me. Surprisingly, I am not afraid of large lizards like that. It's the quick little ones that get to me. *shudders*

    I'll post pictures of her set-up once I get it going. I have most of it planned out already; it'll be a very natural-looking set-up which very closely resembles a rainforest.

    Oh, and one more thing - I found out that these are WC, which I expected. When I look her over, are there any specific "issues" I should be looking for. Mites are one that I know of, but are there any others?
