Baby Tegu

[FatheadHerps]

I am getting a baby golden tegu. I was wondering what and how much to feed him. I am not exactly sure how old but he is not very big. Maybe 10 inches to 14 inches with tail.

Congratulations! Check out the tegu care sheets on this forum-lots of good info and don't be afraid to ask questions. Everyone here is pretty friendly and helpful.

Thats great. I love the way gold tegus look,but i dont have one (yet :twisted: ) I think you should feed him plenty. all he can eat (once a day) and because hes a columbian I think you should pay special attention to handling and taming him.

Feed it a varied diet of insects, worms,raw ground turkey,beef liver,canned monitor food,eggs,mice,fruit ect. some people feed albacore and other seafood (which is probably ok added to a varied diet) I even feed mine veggies disguised with ground turkey and eggs,but alot of folks think veggies are not nessessary. I buy lots of fruit and veggies for myself so its no big deal for me to share it with my tegu.
