Since [member=901]ROXANNE R.[/member] got her a gift, it seemed only proper to give her sister one in return. It'd taken her a long time to track down her coven's usual reptile breeder, but she managed to get what she wanted. Of course, the tegu egg wasn't cheap, but she managed to trade for it easily enough with her medical knowledge. After all, reptile breeders required well-trained doctors whenever their animals had issues, so the payment seemed trivial to Rosemary.
Once she acquired the egg, she sat it in a warm corner of Roxanne's tree house, along with a piece of paper with her cursive handwriting on it.
Care Sheet - Argentine black and white tegu
First off, the egg holds an Argentine black and white tegu - it should hatch soon, the person I traded it from just recently had their first two hatchlings from this clutch. It'll be about eight inches long when it hatches, and grow to a maximum of five feet if male or 3 feet if female. Its lifespan is approximately 20 years.
They're known as being intelligent reptiles and will grow tame with proper handling. However, they are predators and you might need to supervise any interaction between it and your croc baby; they're enemies where they've encountered each other in the wild. Like your croc, the tegu is quite good at swimming, but shouldn't swim in ice water due to their exothermal nature as reptiles.
For its diet, you will need to feed it a mix of lean meat, veggies, and fruits - they're omnivores, and are especially fond of eggs if you can find them. Insects are fine when they're hatchlings, but you must ensure it eats enough calcium! Grinded up egg shells, teeth, and bones are ideal for the hatchling to eat.
PS - If it hatches and is all white, it's still a black and white tegu. It's just an albino morph.

I FEEL SO HUNGRY —
— Dear diary, I don't know what's going on, but something's up / The dog won't stop barking, and I think my TV is bust / Every channel is the same, it's sending me insane / And earlier somebody bit me, what a fucking day / The sky is falling / It's fucking boring / I'm going braindead, isolated / God is a shithead / And we're his rejects / Traumatized for breakfast / I can't stomach any more survival horror / Dear diary, I feel itchy like there's bugs under my skin / The dog's gone rabid (shut the fuck up) / Doing my head in —— WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?
