Argentine male question

[christopher gonyou]

Here are a couple photos of my Argentine BW male tegu. What would you guess his age to be, and when do they start filling out like the monsters you see in videos on youtube? Mine doesnt eat much right now and sleeps a lot, I know its due to hibernation. I got him a couple months ago and he has grown about 5" believe it or not.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe 4 months? Feed steadily. Don't power feed. Very bad for the longterm health. If a male, will bulk up at abkut 1 yr.

Thanks Walter. He seems big for four months, but I guess I wouldnt know. Thats amazing though, quite the growth rate.

You're welcome. They can reach 32-40" in one year.
