Red tegu for rehoming!
So if you’re following me, or seeing this post, odds are good that you think tegus are pretty great. And you’d be right, because they are. Do you think you’re ready for one of your own? If so, and you’re near the western part of Virginia (think eastern TN, KY, north GA, west NC environs), you might be interested In the lovely Neera!
Tumblr media
Neera is a red tegu who’s around 3 or 4 years old, and she is looking for a new home. She’s a petite girl with a sweet demeanor and would make an amazing pet. Her current caretaker’s living situation is rapidly and unexpectedly changing, and finding her a new home is the kindest thing for  both her and her owner.
Neera does have congenital spine curvature, but it doesn’t really impact her much; her quality of life is tip top. She should not, however, be bred and isn’t the most active tegu- she’s so sweet and chill! She’s be a really good pet for somebody with a little reptile experience who wants a big lizard with a great personality.
If you’re interested in knowing more about this sweet girl, shoot my friend an email at [email protected]. She’d be happy to talk with you about potential arrangements!
Neera will have a rehoming fee and arrangements may be made for her enclosure and accoutrements to be included as well!

Thanks so much for looking, and feel free to send this to anybody you know who might be in the market for a sweet little red tegu gal!

Salvator rufescens better known as the red tegu is a species of large lizard native to western Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay where they tend to inhabit scrublands, semi-deserts, savannah, and dry forests. These diurnal lizards are powerful diggers that deep tunnel like burrows which they utilize for troth general shelter, nesting, and as hibernation sites. During the coldest periods of the year these tegus brumate, in some areas for up to seven months at a time. Red tegus are opportunistic omnivores feeding on a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, leaves, insects, snails, slugs, crustaceans, rodents, birds, smaller reptiles, fish, eggs, and carrion. There is a considerable amount of sexual dimorphism in this species with females reaching around 3ft (91cms) in length while males can reach upwards of 4.5ft (140cms) in length. Additionally males notably sport distinctive prominent fatty jowls. Both sexes sport a reddish brown coloration with green to black strips across their width and several broken white stripes down their length. Breeding may occur up to twice a year during the warm season with a female red tegu laying roughly 18 to 25 eggs inside her burrow, which she then covers with dry grass, small branches, and leaves in order to maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels. After a 40 to 75 day incubation periods the eggs hatch. Red tegu hatchlings show little red coloration, and gradually grow more colorful as they age. Growing rapidly the red tegu typically reaches maturity in two to three years. Under ideal conditions a red tegu may live up to 20 years.

On one hand I'm grateful I live in a colder climate bc large spiders frighten me (even if they are sweet baby angels) and you don't get a lot or rly any large spiders up here.
On the other I want a sulcata tortoise so bad it makes me sick but you rly need an outdoor pen for them and it just stays too cold for too long throughout the year 😔😔😔

HOTD Modern AU where everyones dragons are some kind of reptile or amphibian.  Sooo, I finally gathered the courage to add my own stuff to the HOTD fandom, lol. I love reptiles, specifically Komodo dragons, I’ve made like 3 different college projects with them and it was impossible for me to not see Vhagar as one, I’ve seen other really good takes with old grandma V being a snapping turtle, an alligator and so on, and then I decided to imagine my own modern AU were all the Targaryan dragons in HOTD are some kind of reptile pet! -Because Targ shenanigans they do have a special bond with their reptile friend (Thats the only way you get a croc and a Komodo to dont eat you, lol). -The dragon keepers are a special reptile breeder company, the Targs are like one of their most important clients . -To add more lore and stuff I like the idea of them living in a made up european country called Valyria, like Genovia from the princess diaries, or at least just a modern westeros and Valyria being their something something big company where they work. -If they live in Valyria they do have the monarchy problems, but without the murder plis, Aegon ll its like fuck you all and runs away to Italy or France and starts a wine company called “The usurper” xD.  -Because I like Jacegon, Jace goes along with him so he doesn’t die from bad decisions and because I think he’ll be more reliable with the new company stuff hahahahaha, Aegon just tests the wine ok 😂?  -Lucerys its also like, the crown? No thanks, and goes to college to study literature, also in the some college as Aemond, who’s in a History major, they’re roommates 👀. -Joffrey its even less interested in the crown and decides to help his grampa Corlys with Driftmark. -I’m mexican, I dont know how Dukedoms and all that fancy european stuff works, Driftmark can be one of those or something, I’ll do some research after the reptile drawings ok xD? -That way the crown can go to little Aegon the younger without anybody dying yay. -Rhaenyra its not that ok with this, but she loves her kids, and hopes little Egg doesn’t run away too.... Im just starting with my favorite incest deranged couple, Lucemond 😚. I think its obvious this is not completed at all 😅, but I was really exited about it and wanted to talk about it after being working on it all day 😄.
More stuff about the not dragons! -They can’t live the hundreds of years of the dragons, so lets make them live as long as their owner lives, an average 80-90 years, for this HC sake hahahaha, specially because turtles, komodos and crocs are able to live long lives too! So lets make all the other special Targ reptiles/amphibians live longer too 😝. -This makes Grandma V, Vhagar ll, because Vhagar l was Visenya’s, when Laena dies in some kind of accident Aemond claims Vhagar ll so she doesn’t die, specially because she wasn’t that old then, wiki says Laena dies at 27, I havent thought that much about what happens in the Driftmart incident, but something happens 👀! -Then the Viserys l Balerion it’s Balerion ll too! Vissy T gets to keep his croc and makes him an awesome enclosure, lol. Alicent never goes there 😂, but Viserys likes to see when the servants feed him or to just chat with his friend, he has this really nice enclosure like in the zoos where you can go like underground and see them swim.
-Helaena’s kids can have little geckos or something cute like that, I need to think about it 🤔.
-Im not very sure about Caraxes being a red Tegu, they’re awesome, but I don’t know if I should make him be something else, any thoughs anyone 🤔? If you have any other ideas that are different from the ones I have so far let me know 😉!! The only ones that Im very sure about are Vhagar and Arrax, I’m really in love with the idea, and I also like them all being something different, except for Silverwing and Vermithor uwu.

Twenty Questions
Thanks for the tags, @eybefioro, @goodoldfashionednightingale, and @hoarder-of-dragons! I picked my favorites from the posts you tagged me on, and added a few more of my own:
Currently consuming: Good Omens everything
Currently consuming: Good Omens everything (it's worth repeating!)
First ship: I'm not sure. I think I was introduced to the concept of ships through Thomas Sanders' Sanders Sides
Do you have kids? Yes, birth and foster 🥰
What sports do you play/have you played? Dance, horseback riding, and martial arts
Are you more likely to be sincere or sarcastic? Sincere
How many tabs are open on your browser? Over 3,000, because Session Buddy doesn't work on mobile yet 😅
What's your favourite colour? There's no way I can choose! I love the play of different colors with one another. I tend to wear a lot of purple, burgundy, and teal jewel tones, especially in the autumn and winter.
Favorite drink: Hot cocoa with marshmallows and herbal tea for the winter
Last movie: Nothing Lasts Forever and Pride and Prejudice (Those of you as obsessed with Good Omens as I am might recognize a theme here 🤩 )
Scary movies or happy endings? Feel good media with happy endings, please! The world is already full of too many sad and awful things.
When was the last time you cried? I don't remember, but it was probably induced by sleep deprivation and stress. Or really big feelings.
Any talents? Photography! And I love to nurture things. Sometimes that means cooking for loved ones, or growing a jungle of plants in my living room, or organizing gatherings for an extended circle of friends and chosen family
Talent you wish you had? Drawing
What are your hobbies? Right now, the only honest answer is Good Omens 😅
Do you have any pets? Yes! I've shared my life with a whole zoo full of cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles, including an adventure cat, a part-bear part-muppet therapy dog, and a tegu lizard that I trained to walk on a leash and harness.
Super power you wish you had? Reading minds
Dream job? I don't know! I've had so many, and they've all been valuable stepping stones on the path of my life. The jobs where I get to teach and help people - especially kids - are my favorites.
Dream vacation? Seeing the northern lights in person is high on my list. Also, a wildlife photo safari in Africa.
How would you change the world if you could? (Or, what are you passionate about?) I would teach everyone the skills of DBT (helpful for absolutely everyone who has ever had a strong feeling or a connection to another person) and then I would give everyone universal healthcare and a universal basic income with an aim to eliminating poverty, especially among children, plus all the other long term benefits that would stem from that. (Read more from WaPo about UBI here if you're interested.)
Currently working on: Solving the ineffable mystery with the lovely people at the @ineffable-detective-agency, and finishing a new fanfic for the Good Omens Minisode Minibang. Hopefully I'll be ready to post that later this weekend!
No-pressure tags for a few mutuals who might be into tag games, and an open invitation to everyone else!
