Brief moment of alarm hearing noises at 5am in the basement bathroom when I realize it's the 4 foot lizard sleeping under the cabinet

not really having a good February... could you post some tegus maybe?? and do you have a favorite? I'm biased towards Argentine Black and whites because i have one but I love the Gold ones as well

You should definitely check out previously posted Tegus.

Herps and Birds (and More) (Posts tagged tegu) (tumblr.com)

For some reason, I think the coloration, I particularly like the Crocodile Tegu. Also, i really like aquatic/semi-aquatic lizards.

Maybe it’s me shipping Donnie and Mona (wheres my IDW fans at !) would it be ok to request Yandere 12 Donnie and rise Donnie falling for mutant lizard reader ? (You can chose what type of lizard she can be ~) love to see what u come up with !

I chose Argentine Black and White Tegu bcs I love Tegus so much-

Tw: 2012 Donnie was being dumb about food and spits it out cuz he hates it-, mention of kidnapping, 2012 Donnie becomes delusional at some point-, Rise Donnie tries to control diet (not like proportions but food groups)

2012 Donald

Honestly, the initial development of obsession isn't much different, other than that he'll try to learn everything about your species' biology and behaviours. (DO NOT SEARCH UP B+W TEGU COURTSHIP HABITS)

From there he'll try to woo you using said courtship habits- except the one thing that's cursed.

He doesn't notice this, but he starts decorating things in a black and white pattern- hell- bro might make his newest inventions tegu-themed rather than turtle-themed.

Fun fact: Tegus are one of the more affectionate reptiles. And he will use it to his advantage. If you show him too much friendliness he'll become delusional and think you like him back a bit.

Since Tegus loves meat and fruits, he'll try to eat more meat/fruits to seem like "a worthy dude to date" type shit. Istg you could literally see him eating those foods way more than he usually does all of the sudden.

The biggest thing is he'll try to use your biology to get you to like him while doing his other yan behaviours ofc.

"Hey, Y/n!" Donnie greets, eating a bowl of some food.

"Hey. What are you eating?" They mutter as they lean over a bit to peer down into the bowl. Their tongue flicks in-and-out a bit, expressing that they're comfortable in their current environment.

"Oh haha-" He chuckles confidently, perhaps even cockily, "Just some chicken and mango." He eats another spoonful of the food, trying his absolute best to look cool in front of his crush.

The lizard mutant raises an eyebrow muscle in confusion, "Isn't that...An odd food combination for you?" They notice he grimaces just the slightest bit when the food touches his mouth.

"Nah~ I'm enjoying this a lot! It's the perfect sweet and salty~" Internally he was gagging, he did not like this combination. But he lived with it, all in hopes the Tegu in front of him would seem him as a more appealing guy.

"Ok, whatever you say, dude." They walk off, heading to where Mikey was to see what crazy ideas he was up to.

As soon as they were out of eyesight, Donnie opened his mouth to let the food that was sitting in his mouth be spat out again. "Ugh...I should have picked a better combination..."

——————————————————

Rise Diana

Again not super different in terms of the initial yan development. But, there are a few differences.

I think the biggest thing is when you're shedding. He is more protective and is careful no one disturbs the process (unless if you actually request help). If he's kidnapped you, then he'll force you to soak in a tub that he's made- (nothing weird ofc).

He's also very strict about you eating foods that are strictly similar to your Tegu diet. Sure he makes a few exceptions, but he's pretty pushy about having you eat food groups pertained to your animal part's biology. (Ex. no dairy)

Similar to 2012 Donnie he'll try to do SOME of the courtship things, but only if he's comfortable with them. Because he is not as desperate as 2012 Donnie is. (Sorry I had to say it) But- he will try his own methods more to get you to like him.

His favourite thing to do is give you small little metalwork gifts with a Tegu theme. And perhaps a turtle and Tegu with hearts around them.

Overall, much tamer in terms of differences compared to 2012 Donnie. He's just strict about following your biology make-up (without it being too weird to the human world ofc. You're not completely feral lmao)

Donnie was in his lab, creating a gift for his beloved with his metalwork skills. He was currently creating a small key chain, with a tegu and turtle sitting by side with a big heart above them as a charm for the key chain. He did the metalwork, and he could probably paint it himself, but he wanted it to be perfect, so he'll ask his brother, Mikey to do it for him.

"Hm...The shape is still not satisfactory." He mumbles to himself as he tweaks the shape of the turtle's head. This was a gift for his dear, and he ensured himself he needed it to be perfect, and that's what he'll serve.

He could already imagine their little tongue flicking in joy when he presents it to them. As his work was nothing short but absolute perfection. He always found their tongue-flicking adorable, not that he would outwardly admit it though.

"Dearest love of mine, I hope you love my admiration for you." He whispers to himself, trying to hype himself up for the time he would gift them the key chain.

And what more couldn't be cuter than a reptile couple?

Yay- I got this done under an hour-

I heart B+W Tegus so much.

Gorgosaurus libratus from the end of August, 2022. Had a ton of fun doing the texture on this one, and the colours, based on the Argentine black and white tegu, were picked by some cool people in my school’s Paleo Club!

If anyone’s curious about the alternate colour options I was debating between, I might post them later!

reptile sanctuary volunteering is going great. the guy is trusting my friend and i more to help him out, and we got to be way more useful this time and got every cage cleaned and everyone fed, and there were a couple of tube-feedings and manual feedings for some disabled or sick snakes and lizards. we’re learning a lot and are also trying to absorb as much clerical knowledge as possible too for when i finally start up my own farmed animal sanctuary in the next few years.

anyway i got a chance to photograph, handle, and hold a lot of them today!

this is Angel, the male rhinoceros iguana

this is Zeus, the 500+ pound Aldabra tortoise, who has just eaten some very yummy hay and is enjoying some scritches

this is Bosch, a bearded dragon who, as you can see, is disabled. she suffered tremendously bc her owner ignorantly fed her a worms-only carnivore diet with no fruits or vegetables. she developed a degenerative condition with neurological and skeletal issues and cannot eat on her own and has to have the food put into her mouth—sometimes she chokes, because she also can’t swallow most of the time. she had to be tube-fed an elemental diet today.

this is Pumpkin, the corn snake, having his breakfast

this is Diana, the black-throated monitor being held like a sweet baby bc she is !

here’s George, the Sulcata tortoise who was hit by a car (it was a hit and run—people are incredibly cruel) and several veterinarians wanted to euthanize him rather than treat him. the owner of the sanctuary, a retired surgeon, decided to use his own skills to help George. a university then offered to make him a prosthetic shell (using 3D printing) to help protect his healing wounds. he’s got a mean dent in his shell but he’s healthy and active now and shares his meal with Sally the chicken, who always wants his grapes

and here’s Ricin, a large monitor whose species name i cant remember, being absurdly cute

this is Cher, a disabled sand boa who is not feeling well and got tube fed today

and this is Matthew the adorable and super sweet Argentine black and white tegu who was brought to the sanctuary after someone discovered him (using a night vision camera) to be the long-sought-after thief of their chicken coop’s eggs. Matthew was as far as we know entirely feral but is a huge sweetie and loves rubdowns

and here’s me holding Chris, a very disabled Savannah monitor who was a pet who was dumped into the wild (and was abused during her time as a pet, trapped in a cage where she evidently suffered lamp burns that had thickly scarred her back), was discovered in time before starving, and continues to be tube-fed due to neurological issues from parasites that went long untreated. she’s terribly sickly but she’s very bright and comfortable and sweet and loved

and i have so many other pics but i hit the limit here. the one thing i didn’t get any pics of was that i also got to handle and carry a gorgeous boa constrictor named Niranda who was so muscular and so strong she made me feel puny dweeby shrimpy. she was and is the most girlboss woman i’ve ever met and she was a snake
