Red Tegus are nice when babies. But all the old ones I see on the web seem to lose their patterns and just become all red and smeared. Black n white don't lose their patterns even when full grown.
Do all reds lose their patterns? Why? Anyone know?
I have no idea. I got him when he was still small and green so probably not a wild Florida caught? But the guy who I got it from, at a pet show had 20 of them. He said they are crossed b/t red and b&w. I had to give him away though because I left to another country for 2 years. Now that I'm...
I have set up a doorbell that I trained my tegu to use when it's hungry. When he's hungry and reaches up the ramp and presses the doorbell, it's feeding time.
I believe we're in agreement as you can see in my post when I talked about the use of the term "species". It's a term already defined. But what I'm saying is, if an owner must categorize his tegu, he's free find another way to categorize or describe it. I'm just saying, we're seeing the same...

I noticed that there are some arguments about the different tegu "species" out there that are named based on their subtle or distinct differences in appearance. Blue, Chacoan, white head, etc.
I saw many long threads arguing about these differences. But honestly it's all just semantics! I...
Thanks Roadkill for your detailed reply. I really appreciate that. I assure you that I read every word and your time is not wasted. I'm a slow learner but I'm here to learn so please bare with me as I will probably have more questions as time passes on. Assuming I stick with this path I am...
Hi Roadkill, and anyone else who knows things!
I haven't been here in a while because I left the country for 2 years. Now I'm back and have a new cage built(will build even more later) I'm getting back into tegus. I currently have a colombian but I plan to breed Salvador(or black n white, red...
