Is it year round that he doesn't take them as often? Rango hasn't been too interested in them the last few months. He'll eat turkey, fish or liver when hes awake. I'm wondering if maybe whole prey takes more energy to digest or something, I'm not even sure if tegus have that kind of a though process haha. Instinct?

Either way, both of your gu's are looking awesome. I wish I had the space to get a couple more tegus, an extreme would be on the list for sure. I love how they all seem to fill out... And the coloring of course :D

BEAUTIFUL TEGU!! I have a small b&w. He wont eat anything but mice. They are getting expensive tho. Would anybody recommend letting him get very hungry then try to feed him other things?

I have done it to mine before, I see no issue with it as long as your tegu is healthy beforehand. It could be a couple days though.
