    I’ve been inactive for ages! I’ve got a new black and white argentine tegu and she’s awesome. I swear I’m not a cringy 13 year old anymore.

    New tegu with grey scales

    I have a new, wild caught black and white tegu from TegusOnly. She is taming down pretty quickly and she’s really sweet. She let’s me pick her up, but she gets wiggly eventually. I don’t know if it’s a girl, but I’m guessing she. Her name is Nubbles because her tail is broken off and a little...

    Name ideas? Two new additions

    For the female, to me she looks like a 'Holly'. I'm not sure why. If not that, perhaps Lilly? It's up to you of course. Congratulations on the new teggies! Advice from me would not be good. I named my tegu 'Jerry' XD

    Jerry The Red Argentine Tegu Being Aggressive?

    Perhaps. Today he was normal. I guess you're right. No one ever handles him but me because he's an 'icky, slimy vermin' as my dad calls him.

    Growing Too Fast?

    i'm unsure how to tell if he's considered obese. Here's a picture of him while he was soaking last night. (I feel bad because shedding must be uncomfortable).

    Growing Too Fast?

    Hi! My red argentine tegu Jerry went from three inches long (snout to tail) to 16 inches in just three months! He's shedding ALL THE TIME. he so far hasn't gone a week without starting and finishing shedding. Am I feeding him too much? Is this normal? I'm prepared to house an adult tegu, yes...

    Jerry The Red Argentine Tegu Being Aggressive?

    Hello! My red argentine tegu Jerry is my WORLD. I love him so much. He has proper care and everything, but the other day by brother came in screaming at me that Jerry had bitten him! My brother was okay, but it was bleeding a lot. Jerry is also okay. My brother said he wanted to look at him so...

    New Tegu Momma

    A rescue tegu! I live in Mcallen TX just south of you! My tegu is barely even four inches STV length! I take him outside and he like to explore. I made a small harness out of leather and shoe laces. XD I love 'The Great King Snugglewumps' as I call him! Anyways, good for you! ^-^

    Diet

    I feed my little guy one adult anole and four super worms, all dusted in calcium supplement. Also, he eats a grape or apple slice every few days. Is this okay? He's only about five and a half inches long.
