Seems I got some non-believers on Biggins age now lol

I can promise you Biggin is only 4months old born the 13th of Jun arrived at my door July 9th looking like first image on this thread and now well you can see the growth pics. Pics show it all if you look at tail markings it is the same lizard I assure you. Where else in MN can I get an Extreme Tegu lol.

The whole meats are awesome. I just ordered another 9lbs from hare-today. Looking forward to seeing what Loki thinks of the new meats.

So I measured Biggin today, he's now 35 1/4" long :) weights over 3lb and still going strong. No sign of slowing down eating.. I wonder if he won't go down this year.. Anyway thought I would post an update on his size... thought you all might be over all the pics lol..

I will have had biggin 4 months on the 9th. He hatched back June 13th thou so he will actually be 5months old on the 13th if you want to count from time he hatched. When I got him he was a little over 12" and today almost 4months later he's over 35". He's a Biggin lol

Sure,

I feed Biggin whole ground animals like Rabbit,Turkey,lamb,chicken and baby quails. He also gets mice from time to time. I keep a colony of Dubia so he gets those every two-three days between the variety of animal. I also try and offer fruits and veggies. Biggin won't touch veggies but will have grapes from time to time. Oh I also mix into some of the meats whole ground organic chicken eggs I get from Hare today gone tomorrow also. This about Sums it up, although tonight he got some chicken livers and gizzards, he gets these every once in a while as well.

One note, with all the bone and organs in the meats I feed I don't dose calcium or any Luther dusting.

No, I don't do the fur he gets feathers and fur from the quail and mice he eats.
