    Hello Tegu keepers

    Thanks and if your tegus breed I would be interested in one or a pair from you . I know you said they're wild caught . Be interesting to acquire a pair just a generation away from wild and genuine tegu genes ! :)

    Hello Tegu keepers

    Sure I can pick a girl out for you but I don't use probes . Kinda scared to use one . In the Spring I should be able to seperate the males from females by searching for preanal Spurs . However I will keep you in mind if you can wait that long . If you find another tegu in the meantime that...

    Gotcha . Like to hear what happens . BTW I have found when a female is 30 inches she is old enough to lay fertile eggs .

    Hello Tegu keepers

    Also if an adult accidentally kills a hatchling they will usually not eat it

    Hello Tegu keepers

    Usually adult males will not eat the eggs or neither will other adult females . I'm not sure if say a 'teen ager ' aged tegu would devour tegu eggs or not. Tegus ordinarily are not cannibals. This also includes hatchlings . Tegus do not ordinarily devour hatchlings. Though I would not keep...
