Hello Tegutalk! I just want your opinion. I have two Juvenile tegus and their appetites are crazy! They're only about 11 inches from snout to tail, and they eat more than i think their little bodies can hold, i'm impressed. I fed them yesterday, and they ate boiled egg, and the ate atleast half of that, they had 7 super worms, and had the nerve to eat twenty crickets. They are little beast. Does this mean that they're going to be enormous tegus?

I fed my hatchlings crickets in the morning and turkey (and other stuff) in the afternoon. All they can eat at every meal. It is amazing how much they can eat!! And they're very good at throwing it all over the place!

Yea you're right! Bobby can get away with it because he has steady clients and he can flip that money into food for them, but i'm sure it does cost alot! Feeding 18 hatchlings must be extreme work, for you!
