    Black Blood Tegu

    Update: Vader has been out of brumation for a almost a month. He’s becoming quite to social tegu and loves naps. He is also darkening and is getting ready for another shed. Excited to see how he changes over the next few months.

    Black Blood Tegu

    So an update on Vader, my 8 month old black blood tegu. He just came out of brumation about two weeks ago and just finished up his post brumation shed. It was fairly nice and sunny out today, so I took him outside for a little sun and to get some photos of him in natural light. You can see...

    Tegu ban??

    I have lived in Florida for 13 years and I am well aware of how terrible the native wildlife are impacted by invasive species. The problem here is that we cannot undo what has already been done.

I know Jesse has said that he has bought back black bloods he originally produced and sold as hatchlings after a year or two, when they started to show great color. And there are a few he has sold that he’d...

    Black Blood Tegu

    I have had several in depth conversations with Jesse and I have seen a number of photos of his black blood hold backs. He is a really great guy and has some pretty amazing animals! I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again from him if I was in the market for a fourth tegu. I am more curious about...

    Black Blood Tegu

    I recently purchased a "black blood" tegu from Jesse's Jungle, which is 50% B&W Burnt Nose and 50% Red Chacoan. I have seen a few of his 1-2 year old animals from his black blood line, which tend to be almost all black in coloration. I was just wondering if anyone else has purchased one of these...
