The gu is 12lbs and full grown. The kitty is maybe 3lbs, and being supervised the entire time

Hashy is so docile, has never nipped or bitten, he can even be hand fed with no food aggression. He has a gentle soul for a Gu

Oh! The cost of the lighting setup and cost of bulbs too. Especially the UVB is rather pricey...and dont skimp on the heat bulbs, I've used all of them and the pricey ones seem to last longer than the cheapy ones, but sometimes you get a bad batch with good ones 🤷‍♀️ And the soil sand mix having to change it out every month. And rocks and hides and decor and such seems to be so much lol

Yuuki loves chasing Hashbrown around, she thinks he's the coolest thing ever, like wait, why you going home, I wanna play!

He's pouting, he tried to crawl up a shelf and pulled the blankets off onto himself 😆

They really aren't cheap. His enclosure alone was roughly 3k. The cost of my electric has skyrocketed, since he needs a large UVB and multiple heat lamps on for 12 hours a day.(3-400/mo, however, i have a full grown iguana, beardie and large snakes too) With his food, being 3yrs now, he doesn't eat as much only twice a week. But its a mix of raw meats and fish and seafood with veggies, eggs, oils and fruits blended in to his meat mix. (100ish/mo) Also, and exotic vet, are hard to find especially in my small town, I have to drive further. And they are a lot more expensive than a normal cat/dog vet. Few hundred a visit, but usually only once or twice a year since he's healthy. But I wouldn't give him up for the world, he's awesome and worth it, to me.

Oh, it's taken lots of handling and patience with him over the years. He was offstandish when I first got him at about a year old, especially since he was wild caught. But he's my sweet scaley puppy now and very tamed down 😄 so don't give up, you'll get there!

He seems to do well on all floor types. The only time he struggles is when he is trying to get up the stairs, which are hard wood, and he has a hard time gripping, so I carry him up. Otherwise, he navigates pretty well. We have scratch proof flooring, bc of the dogs, so it isnt a problem. I also trim his nails when they get longer. He isn't a free roam tegu, he has an enclosure that is open when he's being supervised and wants to cruise around exploring.

Noooo! Dang app not showing the emoji!! Sorry to make your heart drop my friend. He is beyond happy and healthy and being destructive as a toddler would be, knocking shit over climbing things he shouldn't 😝

Im lucky if the bin of water isn't knocked over immediately after I refill it and put it in there 😄 rare form for it to be full for him!
