    searching for a giant for sale male

    Does it have to be that type, there may be a few breeders with some tegus available. Laurafl had a clutch of reds, I think Manny said he was out, or Ty Parks, or Manny Hernandez, not sure if they last two are on this site but they're on facebook. If not there's always animals available on...

    question on tegu hip bones

    Normal, having a fecal done to test for parasites never hurts, maybe your pockets some time but that comes a long with piece of mind afterwards. How fast or how well they digest something depends on husbandry and what they eat (also how much). Processed meaty meals like turkey mixes and things...

    Breeding Insights

    Another thing you should do is make sure you have homes lined up and people interested, since she can lay more than 40 eggs. What happens to the ones you can't sell or take longer to sell? Proper food, housing and things like that for so many.

    Breeding Insights

    Typically 30-60 days after mating the female usually starts to build nests and lay eggs. During that time look for the usual pregnancy signs like loss of appetite, or not able to eat as much, abdominal swelling, weight gain and things like that but even that's not a guarantee of being gravid...

    Tegu newbie

    Welcome to the site and congrats on the tegu :). From your profile pic it looks female but could be wrong. It's just over a year old so it's easier to look for signs of it being male instead of female. Like leaving sperm plugs, inverting its hemipenes and jowls starting to come in, if none of...

    Chacoan Growth Rate

    Tegus grow fast, most people don't believe how fast until they see it for themselves.

    My yearling hasn't eaten in 3 weeks

    The season's changing so she may be settling in. Does she look bloated or does her abdomen look deflated / empty? Also monitor her weight if she starting to lose weight and looking skinny then there's an issue that needs to be fixed.

    Need advice! New Columbian Tegu

    Welcome to the site and thanks for coming :) . Since it' has only been 2 days I wouldn't worry much about it, more than likely he's just bloated from eating and everything should go back to normal after he defecates.
