Eric - Hey, buddy.
So this is Red, that's an Argentine Red Tegu,
and obviously these guys come from Argentina, so South America.
He primarily eats, eat a lot of vegetation when they get this big so a lot of fruits,
things like that.
He does eat a lot of crickets...
Come on, buddy.
or, when they're younger, they'll eat crickets. At this size he'll actually eat rodents too
and other prepared foods that we have from here.
Stephanie - Eric has had him for like 10 years and then he brought him here.
- Because I had a kid instead.
Stephanie - Yeah.
Camper - Wait, you had a kidney stone?
- I had a kid.
*laughing*
Camper - It's so puffy.
Eric - The males do it. I don't know if it's a...
like some sort of defense thing with males on these guys because they do kind of...
Stephanie - Matt, do you have a question?
Matt - Yeah, will he like bite if he gets too mad?
- He could. They do have pretty big teeth, but he's not... I've never...
Bella - Okay, if we have questions, we can raise our hand okay?
- Okay, so this is a full grown Rankin's Dragon.
- Just pet down his body, so you're gonna pet away from his head down his body. You're not
gonna go backwards. That'd be like if you guys were to like bend your fingernails backwards.
That's how that would feel to him.
Stephanie - So do you guys know what movie I got that from for Jack and Sally?
Camper - Nightmare Before Christmas!
Stephanie - Yes.
Camper - We watch it every Christmas and Halloween.
- Yes, so do I.
Heather - He's like "They're watching me."
Camper - Nobody look at him.
- Nobody look at him!
Stephanie - He likes to poop. You guys need to quiet down. Let's see.
- Oh, did you see his tongue?
Camper - Yeah.
Heather - Oh, oh!
Kids - Yay!!! *cheering*
Stephanie - He's looking at you guys like "What is so exciting?"
Stephanie - All right, so these get kept at 85 degrees when this is in there.
A baby bearded dragon is hatching out of its egg.
Okay, so these... we have all the eggs in here, and then once these guys hatch,
they're gonna go into that top tank back there.
Heather - Oh, it's... it's the last one, it looks like, of the thing.
Stephanie - Last one... Looks like a dinosaur. It's like the way it's just like curled up coming out.
Stephanie - There's a baby beardie coming out.
- Okay, then moving over here, we have some crested gecko eggs.
So, in these little containers... We're not touching. Our hands around at our sides.
We have crested gecko eggs.
And then in this tank, these are the baby uromastyx that hatched earlier this week.
when you guys were starting camp.
