Re: i cant stand people!

Our monitor Chomper seems to have a thing for sweaty feet.

If we take him out and are in socks after a few hours in shoes, the aroma of my feet or Dorothy's feet will drive him crazy.

He lunged at my toes once with his mouth gaping wide open, i had to jump back before he could latch on.

I have heard the skulls of rats pop like a walnut when he bites down, so I was not about to let him chomp on my toes.

Re: i cant stand people!

That reminds me of Sharon Stone's husband Phil Bronstein. She and her husband got to visit the komodo dragon exhibit at the los angeles zoo because they were benefactors of the zoo. They advised him to take his shoes off because they were worried his white shoes would spook the dragons. Unfortunately one of the dragons decided his bare feet looked mighty tasty. He had to have extensive surgery to reattach something like 7 tendons.

Nah, Teg's are much more clever than most reptiles. I thought you might enjoy this pic



Funny having a Tegu that's bigger than your dogs

The dogs were too smart to mess with Stewie, they once tried to steal a banana from a iguana and were tailwhipped for their efforts.

Stewie had no interest in, or fear of, the dogs. She liked to climb up and look out the window or lay on the back of the couch.
