It doesn't matter what age you get, just don't want you to be disappointed is all. Would hate to see you become overwhelmed with your first one. :)

I don't know, there is some guy here trying to sell his B/W for 250 on CL (posting comes up in the Philly Area) and a columbian for 100. Red flag on the columbian ergo, red flag on B/W too.

Just great,.. I previewed my message but didn't post and lost it. Gotta love search history sometimes.

So,.. in the philly area I saw two ads posted by the same person one is for an AA for 250 if it's truly and AA then great price but the Colombian ad doesn't have a price.

I don't know if those are the ones you were talking about.

On another note there was a nice female posted earlier this month for 160 I think,.. don't know if she's still available. If she is don't know if they're willing to ship.

No, he also had a B/W listed. Same guy though. I texted him to get the prices. I'm not gonna pay 100 for a Columbian (which is more what I was interested in). I can one for $40 at the local mom and pop shop...he was calling it a hybrid LOL.

Actually.....I think I dealt with this guy before.....was looking through some old info, and if memory serves, he backed out of a deal on me with no notice (sold snakes to another while I was driving up to them).


But I DID find another local to my job :) Waiting for details on this one!

Rango and Gary were ~2' when I got them in May 2011. They were both right around 2 years. They were fed one or two mice once a week or so. I used a multi vitamin and started feeding them daily. Gary was a little over 3 feet when I found him a new home in July or August. Rango is around 3.5' and before he started to brumate he was ~7-8lbs.

My tegu is a columbian and is 1 year and 7 months and is exactally 24 inches. He has a very good varied diet and is happy and healthy... but at this point columbians are usually smaller then argentines right??

I have a female B&W that is about a year and a half now and she is a little under 2 feet, but she was VERY small when i received her and she hibernated much longer than my other tegu. she has a healthy diet and is extremely happy otherwise and continues to grow at a rapid pace

The blk and wht argentine I just purchased locally is 17in. (Nose to tip of tail)... they were estimating him at 2 or so months old...I'm wondering if older or just a rapid grower (?) He only has a couple faint hints of green on head ...and from what I've read they lose that green at 2 months.he is wicked calm and looooves to be petted and handled, so whatever his actual age I'm grateful for that! :heart:

Hibernation plays a huge role in the growth cycle since there is no food ingested i have seen some half the size due to hibernation it is odd but its just what happens lol
