I'm glad you brought up the raw chicken bones. I know they're (among any other edible animal bone) a wonderful source of calcium for ferrets, dogs and cats so I'd imagine they were a good source for tegus as well.

I also know that spaghetti squash, collards, endive, escarole, dandelion, papaya, phoenix worms, seaweed/kelp, figs and any small edible raw meaty animal bones are all great sources of calcium. For a tegu who readily eats anything, I'd have to wonder how much calcium you'd REALLY need to supplement if you fed these items (along with meats) on a daily basis.
