    Is a dark nose normal on a juvenile red tegu?

    Underground reptiles shipped me the one with the limb reduction and when I asked them what happened they said it was a mistake and if I wanted I could ship him back and they would send a replacement. The poor little thing looked so scared and sad that I just didn't have the heart to put him...

    Is a dark nose normal on a juvenile red tegu?

    Edgar is very healthy. I was just wondering if he was pure or a mix because of his dark nose and tongue. Thank you!

    Is a dark nose normal on a juvenile red tegu?

    Maybe it is. Maybe it will fade? This is my second red. My first guy had no black on his nose or tongue but he was a high white red. The only reason it is a thing for me is I kind of feel like I can't seem to just get a nice, healthy, pure, red tegu. My first red was shipped to me with only nubs...

    Red × Blue cross?

    I can't contact the breeder though. Got him from Snakes at Sunset and they buy them from someone else. I'll just have to wait and see if his nose fades as he sheds I guess. Thanks for looking though!

    Red × Blue cross?

    Hi, I have had Edgar for about a month now and he was sold to me as a argentine red and he is finally starting to show some color. He is also starting to show a dark nose like a blue tegu. Is this normal or did I get a mix?

    Is a dark nose normal on a juvenile red tegu?

    I purchased him from Snakes at Sunset. They aren't the breeders but they have always done well for me.

    Is a dark nose normal on a juvenile red tegu?

    I didn't think that was normal. I guess it's possible he's on oddity but I'm thinking its more likely he is a mix of red & blue. Thank you for your response!

    Front limb reduction in tegus

    Hi, Rex is also very aggressive. Does not like to be touched at all and will try to get out of my hands every time I have to move him to and from his feeding bin. He has not tried to bite me in the last two weeks so thats a good thing. He does not seem to fear me because when I talk to him or...

    Front limb reduction in tegus

    I know it looks terrible but he has no idea that he is any different than his brother. Just like a human child born with limb reduction he has learned to adapt and luckily he was born into captivity so he does not have to worry about predators. Because he belly scoots and is slow moving his...

    Purple Tegu?

    Hi! I also have a purple 3/4 blue 1/4 red tegu named Zane. I can't wait to see how he turns out when he is older. He just had his first shed. Really nice temperament.
