I am getting my first Tegu soon from Underground Reptiles, are they legit and reliable? I am also deciding on a Red Tegu or Argentine black and white. which one is best suited for a beginner?
While I get it, and my boy’s temps and humidity are controlled. Logic would dictate otherwise. Tegu in the wild are not in temp control. They roll with what nature gives them. Looking at their physiology they are much more durable than people give them credit for. If you enclose a partial room you can control temps and humidity just the same as in a 8x4x4. Heck doubling it to a 16x8 is a decent chunk or a room or small room and it is perfectly suitable. Just put same type of controls in place.With out proper hydration animals can't function. Generally it begins with bad shed followed by organ damage, particularly the kidneys and liver however others suffer as well.
Free roaming is also bad in organs because the animal is kept at far to low of temps so the body is forced to over work to keep up. Often putting extra strain on the organs as well
