Chacoan Giants!!

[PuffDragon]

Is the Tegu on the banner a White Head or Chacoan? He/she is beautiful!!!!! I want one that light in coloration so bad.

Yes, that is an Extreme Giant, he he is with five other young ones.

He is the one to the far right in this picture.

Another very big difference is the egg size and weight. The normal egg weight is 16 grams, the Extreme egg weight is 26 grams, that is a 10 gram difference in egg weight.

If anyone knows the answer to my question at the top of the page about enclosure size :lol: ....

 

[DaveDragon]

I doubt it. That suckers gonna be at least 5 feet long! That could be an intermediate cage though.

Would you be able to house a chacoan giant adult in a 6.5' x 40" x 27" enclosure? I would be letting him out to roam often aswell. Just wondering for future reference as I would love to get one in the future.

i have a regular arg. b+w tegu and his enclosure is 7.5x3.5x3 I wouldn't go much smaller for an Extreme Giant.

 

[redtail2426]

yeah I have my argentine b+w in the size cage I mentioned above I would have liked to make it bigger but that was as big as I could go and still fit it through my door in my room. It should be big enough right?

2x the length x the length is the minumum. I suppose you could go smaller, but you would have to make up for it with free roaming. Even with FRing, I still don't reccomend "minimal cages".

Nice pics Bobby, I didn't know about the difference in egg sizes.

I agree I'm planing on getting a Extreme Giant and I'm expanding the cage to 2/3 bigger than what it is now
