I bought him off someone on craigslist that didn't have the time to take care of him anymore. I was told he is about 2 years old but he seems sort of small for 2 years old. What do you guys think? Any name suggestions? I have been calling him Thanos.
Here are some pictures of him...
alright thanks man. I am thinking of getting a large rock and placing it under the basking light so he can grind down his crazy sharp claws everytime he climbs up there haha. My wrists look like i got in a fight with a thornbush.

Hello everyone! I just recently bought my first Tegu off of someone who wasn't taking very good care of him. They said they have had him for about two years but he is only around 2.5 ft long. Is this normal? He also seems to be walking rather sluggishly and sometimes drags his body. The...
