    Whew! Hot and humid!! I don't think Tali and I could ever hang out in the wild! lol Missouri is bad enough. Y'all really made a great space for her. She's really neat, thank you for sharing her with us.

    I didn't know how adorable Tegu digging is until this video!

      Right? The pile of dirt she manages to get on her head is so cute 🥺

    Tali is a very good looking reptile; I've not heard of a Tegu before. She seems nice and calm in this video. I would never have considered that reptiles enjoyed being petted or stroked until I saw you petting your tortoise! Tali really leans into the forehead strokes!

  • @BarbaraDelGiudice
    @BarbaraDelGiudice ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Thank you! Tali is very cute and I didn't realize until recently how much they love being petted. I can tell she is enjoying herself. They have emotions just like all of us. I am sure of it and they feel pain too. I sign petitions for lizards and alligators and snakes in the skin industry. I hope you are feeling better. Love, big hugs, birdie spirit kisses. :)))

    Tali is a beautiful tegu! I can’t wait to see more of her along with the other ambassadors of Animal Wonders😊

  • @medea27
    @medea27 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Awww, what a honey! Tali seems like the perfect combo for an animal ambassador... gregarious but calm, and a great size & shape to be less scary for soon-to-be reptile fans to interact with. 💚 (P.S.... is that a little blue Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair toy in Tali's enclosure? She has good taste! LOL)
    And thanks heaps for popping the metric/Celsius conversions up on screen @ 4:32 ... it makes a big difference for those of us watching from overseas to be able to keep up with the narrative. Much appreciated AWM! 👍🐾

      I just wish they’d converted all the temperatures, not just the first two, because having to stop and convert them myself is disrupting my viewing experience.

    Tali is a drop dead gorgeous teyu!
    A different species of teyu is native to my area, and they're amazing. I specially loved seeing Tali burrow for the evening, as that's a behavior I'm not able to observe in the wild teyus. The funniest thing they do is carrying eggs in their mouths to eat later, it's so uncanny to see a huge lizard being so delicate as not to break the egg.

  • @mikeayers8951

    As a person with 9 amazing pet tegus I can safely say that tegus are the best!! Hands down. Everyone needs some Tegu love.

  • @sueknudsen4875

    That is incredible! Your description of the ecosystem within her enclosure is impressive. Thank you for how well you plan for each of Animal Wonders ambassadors.

  • @user-ty5di3ku6o
    @user-ty5di3ku6o ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Oh, and be careful when taking tegus and other large lizards (aka lizards that can hurt you) outside. The natural sunlight will make you look a lot different because they can see in a broader UV spectrum than us and they freak out sometimes. 😅 My Nile who was decently natured believe it or not, went for me full force the first time I took him outside. It was like being in a surprise knife fight, only the knives were in his mouth 😅. Introducing myself to them outside while they're in a carrier is what I do now. If I recall correctly, my fellow biologist Clint from Clint's reptiles had his tegu freak out when he brought him outside as well.

    • @ragnkja
      @ragnkja ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Having his trusted human suddenly look very different must have been terrifying for him, so I’m glad you’re finding ways to make it less scary.

    • @user-ty5di3ku6o
      @user-ty5di3ku6o ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@ragnkja I was terrified too. An angry 6ft Nile coming at you is a stomach dropping moment 😅😂. I couldn't even run because he was on his harness. I just kept talking to him and got him inside as quick as I could. He learned very quickly though.

    Ground chicken or turkey frozen in icecube trays. Then you can thaw however many you need. Also, quail eggs scattered in her enclosure would be fun for her.

    Pearl is a Colombian Tegu, right? So now you have two Tegus, but different species?
    Tali is gorgeous! My favorite bit was at 2:41. With all the substrate on her, I couldn't tell what part of her I was looking at until she flicked her tongue. I love that enclosure, too!
