Dude eats a ton, he will eat 3 hoppers in one meal. some days a whole cup full of about 15 dubia large females in a meal. he's going to be a beast.

Biggin had a hopper and 14 dubias today.

You feed adult females do you buy the dubias or run a colony?

I'm not sure if the mice are females they are in a 3pack from pet store. I do have a huge colony of Dubias. I also order whole ground animals online like Rabbit/Turkey/quail eggs/chicken/duck/ so on. About to re order and try whole salmon.

oh you mean female Dubias, yes large females and males, I seem to have a ton of females.

Biggin also is only using bathroom in tub or bathroom never in his cage anymore, I'm so happy.. What I did there was everyday after he ate from day one, straight to the tub he went/goes, Now he's trained. I even went out of town for a couple days and my wife was scared to bath him and he held it till I got home... Boy was that a big dump and smelly at that.

Biggin has never shown any aggression from day one. I will say the first week he was scared when I would reach in to tank but never once has he tail wiped or even opened his mouth as if he wanted to bite. I couldn't be happier with my first Tegu than I am with Biggin

Wow just looked at these pics I posted a while back on Biggin, dude has already grown bigger, I'll post some more picks soon. I wanted to talk about how much he's eating, today I feed him 6 one week old quails and he was jumping for more!! I'm starting to think this guy is going to eat me out of house and home lol. Anyway just wanted to post how much this beast is eating. I'll post some picks soon.

I know right!! None of the people at local pet store think he's the same Tegu.. Biggin is going to be a BIGGIN lol, I can't wait to see just how big he will be once he's a year old. Oh he's 30.5" long, roughly I cant get him to lay straight by the yard stick but that's the best I could get, may be closer to 31".

 

[chitodadon]

Damn at 4 months old almost 3 ft that's insane

I would love to see anyone's picks from same clutch, I got him July 9th he was born Jun. 13th. Biggin was a 2012 Bobby Hill Extreme for those that didn't know. Please post some of your pics sometime. I'm wondering how Biggin sizes up to his brothers and sisters.

 

[agv0008]

Wow. I wonder what he will max out at. Should only be another month or two. ROFL

Awesome tegu. Mine is about 3 months and 1/3 the size.

 

[tommylee22]

I'm hoping he's one like Bobby's big guys that gets up around 5.5feet.

Ezzy is from the 6/13 clutch as well. She is only about 23 in right now. Already she is slowing down considerably and sleeping most of the day. Has Biggin started showing any signs of hibernating?

 

[tommylee22]

Biggin has not shown any signs of slowing down, actually he's becoming more and more curious when he's out and as for eating less he's actually eating a lot more. I've been wondering if he's going to actually hibernate. I live in MN it's already getting cold here.
