Just saw this snapper turtle strolling around by the tegu cages. Snapped a few pics as it walked into the creek about 30 yards away. Not the most graceful creature on land. It didn't love having the iPhone in it's face and snapped at me a few times, their necks are crazy long.
My trio of adult red tegus are still pretty lazy and not eating much, but as you can see they can afford to skip a meal or five. Also all still have thick shed, so maybe after they relieve themselves of it they'll be more active.
Here are some pics of a trio of blues who all still have some winter shed to get rid of. I'll try and post some pics after to see their true colors. Hopefully they breed this year, as the females both look very round in the mid section and the young male is down to his fighting weight for breeding season.
Saw the male dragging the female around trying to breed. I didn't see full lock up but it's not his first rodeo so I'm sure they have or will. Big male tegu on the hunt for his females. He smelled the food but wasn't as interested as he normally is as I'm sure his mind is elsewhere.
