    New Tegu Owner, Needing Some Reassurances.

    Hello all, my names Timothy and I am a new and very proud owner of my first B&W Tegu, called McGee. I brought McGee home 9 days ago.

    Tegu Sexing Help

    The breeder told us we had a girl when we got our tegu Bluey as a hatchling, but I realize it’s not an exact science at that age. Now that Bluey is a year and a half, I was trying to see if I could spot the bbs everyone’s always talking about in these threads, and I am struggling! Maybe that...

    B&W free to good home!

    I have an adolescent b&w tegu named Griphook, I think it's a male but I honestly have never checked. I am moving and I won't have the space to make him happy, and he doesn't get nearly as much attention as he deserves and I just want a better life for him. I got him from Petco (I know, bad...

    It's been a while since I have been on here but we are still doing well! Rueben has calmed down enough to were I can take him out on a daily basis. I have been giving him steam baths and trying to mix his food with water to help hydrate him. I just picked him up this new cork tunnel to try out!

    Hi everyone!

    I just got my very first Black and White Argentinian Tegu about 6 weeks ago. I call it Bubba and it is about 12 weeks old now. What are some good suggestions for bonding with it?

    Argentine or Colombian

    Just got this Tegu two days ago from an individual seller. Now I’m wondering if it’s not an Argentine, but in fact a Colombian. It does have the two scales between the nostril and eyes on both sides, as well as a line down both sides of the back. The skin also feels beaded, which I heard is an...

    Eating Enough?

    I've had my Tegu for a little over 2 weeks now. He eats occasionally but I'm worried he isn't eating enough. I socialize him when I can. He isn't aggressive or anything but our schedules don't always match up and when that happens I leave some food out for him to munch on but he doesn't seem to...
